HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!!

Out now! Jon Camp’s Proceed is here — a stunning record that digs deep into American folk roots while fearlessly pushing them into new and unexpected territory. Grounded, expansive, and full of heart.

Listen now and proceed into the sound. 😬

Really excited to announce this one. The label’s final release of 2026. Elsewhere from Agnes Martian.

Their new album builds on that spirit—born from synth experiments, acoustic textures, and far-flung collaborations.

It’s music for wandering minds and open hearts. 🌌✨

People make fun of Canva, but it saves my ass every time.
This autumn has been an exciting one w/ this trio, all of which recontextualize traditional sounds & instrumentation and present them through different lenses. I'm speaking of Michael Hix's Wonderful Aspiration of the Source, Jon Camp's 'Proceed,' and The Far Sound's 'To Heart, To Earth'.
Simmering psychedelic steel. Heck yeah
The Far Sound turns pedal steel away from country expectations for an LP that explores the simmer of psychedelics. The steel can’t help but pull its compass towards Western woes, but Pedrosa fills his landscapes with tangles of Rag, Turkish psych, & nods to Morricone & Seastones. bit.ly/3KfMpEI
‘To Heart, To Earth’ is the new album from The Far Sound, a project founded by Rick Pedrosa (Abronia, Federale etc)

The first reveal from the new album is “Let Warmth Turn Inward” - a track perfectly suited for this season of shifting colors and extended golden hours.

Happy Release Day to Wonderful Aspiration of the Source!

It’s an honor to present this album to the world. I was lucky enough to witness this project as it was getting off the ground before I moved from Nashville. And here we are. The full vision.

Partisan’s Folly is the second reveal from the forthcoming album from Jon Camp, titled Proceed.

The album is up for pre-order right now over on the Bandcamp. And Jon will be hitting the road out in the Midwest very soon. If he’s in your town, check him out!

Bandcamp Friday is upon us, and the sounds of autumn are approaching. To join in on both happenings, Centripetal Force is offering a vinyl bundle of this fall's first two releases, Jon Camp's 'Proceed' and the debut from Wonderful Aspiration of the Source.

The second reveal from Wonderful Aspiration of the Source is a track titled “Deer Park.” It’s a song in which space speaks as powerfully as the notes themselves. Michael’s playing is delicate - but somehow also powerfully intense. “Deer Park” is currently streaming wherever you get your music. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Congrats to @thewiremagazine.bsky.social on their 500th issue. We look forward to 500 more. And thank you for your coverage of independent music and kind words for the forthcoming Wonderful Aspiration of the Source album. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 @michaelhix.bsky.social

Another one for Andy’s greatest lines:

“yearning steel sighs”
“Kerosene Goodbye’ wraps yearning steel sighs in string swells and the dexterous fingerpicking that Camp’s been known for in the past, carving out a tender ode to his family’s rural roots. bit.ly/3HRJlO4
