Artsick "Fingers Crossed" LP (Light Blue Vinyl)

"A state of malaise brought photographer Christina Riley, formerly of Burnt Palms, back into the songwriting fray in 2018, pining for the excitement of working with her now-defunct band. She dubbed the feeling (and her new project) “Artsick,” recruiting Bay Area indie pop mainstays Mario Hernandez (Kids on a Crime Spree) and Donna McKean (Lunchbox) to help concoct a back-to-basics antidote. Fingers Crossed is the trio’s first full-length outing; an ode to the fuzzy power-pop roots of their own label, Slumberland, as well as the shambling punk put-out by northern neighbors K Records in the mid ’90s." - Bandcamp
