A few weeks ago, we announced that Pygmalion Music Festival had released their initial schedule, with many more acts to be added later.

Smith Westerns stream new album in full
I know I’ve been off my blogging game for WPGU lately…but that ends today! Today, Chicago dream-pop band Smith Westerns have their third album Soft Will up for stream via NPR.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I do believe that it’s impossible to deny his ultimate talent and attraction to creativity. Though his new track “Defriended” depicts more his [...]
