“MORE IN COMMON” PREMIERES ON StGA

“More in Common,” the second single release from Yearbook, received a premiere and review on the music blog Surviving the Golden Age. StGA editor wrote about the single, “Over a backdrop of gorgeous piano and atmospheric drums, Lippy’s reverbed vocals soar. With the track’s unique song structure and lo-fi recording, it sounds like a mix between Elton John and the Microphones. It is catchy but with weighty lyrics and a strong emotional pull — a triumph of both songwriting and musicianship.” Read the full review here.

“GOOD START REMIXED” LIMITED-EDITION RELEASED

“Good Start,” the lead track on Tod Lippy’s first album, Here We Are (2019), was inspired by a saying passed down to his father from his grandfather: “A good start means you’re half done.” Last year Lippy reached out to a range of musicians he respected to see if they might be willing to offer their own takes on the song. He ended up with submissions from Julian Lynch, Sonic Boom, Kramer, and Carl Stone. The edition ($7.50) includes a 5-panel, 4-color insert as well as a download card for high-quality mp3s of the four remixes and the original single.
