From Indian Lakes is the project of California-based singer/songwriter Joey Vannucchi. Growing up on 40 acres of land near Yosemite National Park, the multi-instrumentalist first gravitated toward drums, playing in various bands throughout his youth before eventually focusing on guitar and songwriting. Intricate rhythms continued to be a major feature of his thoughtful post-rock sound and at age 20, he began recording songs at a friend's studio in the neighboring town of Indian Lakes. Initially releasing the material under the name Songs from Indian Lakes, Vannucchi shortened it after recruiting a group of musicians to begin playing live.
"Dimly Lit” is a follow up to the critically acclaimed album “Everything Feels Better Now” which hit the Billboard 200, debuted at number 5 on the Top Heatseekers chart, and garnered praise from sites such as Pitchfork, Spin, NPR, Paste, Rolling Stone, and Stereogum. From Indian Lakes' newest album is a mix of indie rock/dream pop/shoegaze and was written, recorded, and produced by Joey at his apartment in Harlem, NY.
Features Soren Bryce (Tummyache), Nandi Rose Plunkett (Halfwaif), Miriam Devora (Queen of Jeans), Lynn Gunn (Pvris), and Meagan Grandall (Lemolo).
Mixed by David Tolomei (Beach House, Future Islands, Half Waif). Mastered by Heba Kadry (Bjork, (Sandy) Alex G, Jay Som).

Joe Sutkowski (Dirt Buyer)’s new album is a documentation of making it to the other side. Sutkowski grew up in New Jersey, and although he lives in Brooklyn now, he remains “an emo kid at heart,” garnering inspiration from bands like My Chemical Romance and Muse, the latter of whose theatrical, dramatic performances inspired the band’s own vocal-forward, soaring takes. Initially working together as a duo while Sutkowski and Ruben Radlauer (Model/Actriz) were at school in Berklee, the band’s self-titled 2019 debut album was recorded on an IPhone in their practice room on just drums and guitar, and the quietly striking, nuanced stylings earned them accolades far beyond the “fake record label” the two made up to originally release their music. The band’s new album, Dirt Buyer II, was recorded in February 2020, and represents a foray into heavier material that marks a deeper shift for the band. Now working as a trio, Sutkowski is flanked by Tristan Allen on bass and Mike Costa on drums, a fellow Berklee grad who cut his teeth playing in bands across Boston including past collaborations with Sutkowski.
“This is all a living chronicle of all I want to do, which is feel good and be happy,” he admits. “I’m a completely different person now - a better version of myself.” Processing the past, Sutkowksi has emerged with newfound belief, fully intact and with a new path forward to the future.
