Pop label with a stubborn streak, since 1989.

A quick intro to Slumberland: we're a tiny indie record label that started in 1989 in MD/DC and has resided in Oakland, CA since 1992. We've mostly focused on indiepop but SLR has also released power-pop, punk, shoegaze, post-punk, etc. Stubbornly uncool.

Rachel Love's "Lyra" is very much of a piece with "Picture In Mind," surveying intimate folk-tinged pop, elegant atmospheres and gentle melodicism that perfectly complements the stately, sorrowful tunes. Lush and dreamy odes to love, loss and family.

Rachel Love's "Picture In Mind" is packed w/lush, dreamy pop that sits comfortably between 60s sunshine pop and the mod-ish sounds of groups like Saint Etienne and Broadcast. The tunes drift by like daydreams, foregrounding Rachel's lovely voice & melodies.

We are super excited to be reissuing the two solo albums by ex-Dolly Mixture member Rachel Love: 2021's "Picture In Mind" and 2024's "Lyra." They’re both lovely pop albums, made on a small scale but with big ambitions, rich with melody and wise insight. Out April 10th!

My fave cut from the new Railcard CD too... @ianbutton.bsky.social and co. go disco-kosmische. ⤵️
"Disco Loadout" is one of our fave songs on the new Railcard CD, a tune for every band that's been asked to play an early set and then get off the stage FAST so that the crowd-pleasing DJs can get to work. Yep, it's a thing.

Anything involving IQ tests *in any way* is eugenicist pseudoscientific bullshit and should not be anywhere near anything to do with disability provision. Might as well base it on their Myers-Briggs type or their star sign.
Yeah, so my feeling is NOPE, NO, NUH UH, NEVER

For one thing, IQ is bullshit. For another, there is a reason we DON’T want a streamlined way to identify “the most vulnerable”. Please see the United States for further details.

Lastly—who is this for?

SFUSD students learned more about solidarity, power, and love this week from UESF and all who supported them than they could possibly have learned in school for the week.

Thank you educators for showing the way 🙏
