about

"Anyone who hasn’t followed Hilken Mancini’s post-Fuzzy work has made a grave mistake. This second record from Shepherdess finds Mancini on top of her game, leading the band through a set of songs that are in debt as much to riot grrl punk as they are to the power pop that she is known for. The music has a ferocity to it, but never at the expense of a good hook, and while Mancini lets her guitar hero side show, the songs never meander aimlessly. The other band members, Emily Arkin (baritone guitar and violin) and Allison Murray (drums) excel as well, proving nimble enough to turn on a dime while also focused enough to keep the proceedings grounded. The production is excellent throughout, fully capturing the spirit of their live shows." --Kevin Finn, The Noise

We are thrilled to announce we've teamed up with record label TinyRadars to put out "I'm Saving Myself for Shepherdess" (2013) on vinyl (and yes, yes: digital too)! We love Western Mass.-based TR's musical taste, fetishization of vinyl, and DIY model--and we're honored to have Bunny's a Swine, Mail the Horse, Home Body, and Graph as labelmates.

We recorded and mixed this 9-song record over the past year with Kevin Micka of Animal Hospital fame, and it includes special guest stars like Mary Lou Lord and Andy Macbain of Tunnel of Love. We hope you will want to listen to it until the vinyl grooves melt into a puddle.

"Shepherdess blasts out a speaker-melting mix of stoner-pop and slacker-psych that shifts gears at the drop of the hat."--Boston indie-rock watch list, The Boston Globe 1/3/13
