it’s a pop song pulled back down to street level, where it feels like a conversation with a friend instead of a message from above. That’s always been part of BOYO’s charm—the way the personality comes through. It’s a song about leaving things behind, but sometimes that can be one of the best moves you can make.

Art Flakey is the latest EP by Imaginary Tricks, fronted by our dear friend, Mike Visser. We first met Mike back in the late ’90s when he was asked to play bass in Filibuster at the last minute on a European tour with the Skatalites. From there, we fell in love with his own band, […]
Where Have All My Friends Gone? The 4th LP from Los Angeles’ solo artist BOYO is out today and available directly from Park The Van on a ghostly black and white color-in-color or standard black vinyl. It’s as poignant as possible in this era of isolation and self-discovery. Perhaps it’s a little darker and desolate […]

Today marks the release of a record that’s become a part of hearts since we heard it. Dustin went to NYC and made this record with none other than Sam Cohen, a guy who we’ve followed since his early days in Apollo Sunshine. In Your Chamber is Dustin’s best work to date. We’ll call it […]
Out now: Nik Freitas’ delightful new album, Cavalo Morto. The title means “dead horse” in Portuguese and the album’s gloomy cover art depicts a weathered pianist chugging along at his craft while horses fall from the top of the instrument. It’s a reference to the inescapable mundanity of being a professional artist, a glamorized yet […]
New single drops today for “Tara the Android” by Dustin Lovelis. Stream it everywhere—links below! “The song is about an urban legend of a serial killer who created a robot to sing to him while he buries his victims….so he didn’t get lonely or hear the voices in his head” — DUSTIN LOVELIS
Today is release day for BOYO 👁👁 We are pleased to share the new BOYO You Don’t See Me EP. Robert Tilden’s latest is cut from the gut—a bit of a turn from his previous tunes, more vulnerable and personal, and dare we say darker. It’s an exciting foreshadowing of future recordings and we are stoked to […]
