Over the past decade and a half, he’s released seven LPs of finely-tuned rock-pop for labels that include Castle Face, Third Man, and Sub Pop. Influenced by classic artists like the Kinks and the Beach Boys, Stoltz conveys a unique and ever-evolving interest in pop, mixed with elements of psychedelia and garage rock. Even more impressively, his solo albums have been truly solo affairs, self-recorded at his own Electric Duck Studio, with Stoltz playing most of the instruments throughout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to working as a talented solo artist, though, Kelley Stoltz has also contributed to the music of many other local bands.

"content": "\u003caside class=\"aligncenter\">\n\u003ch4>Listen to The Bay Bridged mix of San Francisco Twang — sampling Americana, Country and Bluegrass Bands\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>http://media.libsyn.com/media/thebaybridged/SF_Twang_Mixtape.mp3\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area’s love for Americana, country and bluegrass music manifests most visibly during the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, which draws 750,000+ people to Golden Gate Park annually — but there are great twangy sounds coming out of the Bay all year round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Venues like the Plough & Stars, the Lucky Horseshoe, Amnesia, and Armando’s in Martinez, as well as Twang Sundays at Thee Parkside, are fertile incubators for local roots acts. Plenty of those acts, like the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherscomatose/\">Brothers Comatose\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, have subsequently ascended to the larger stages of rock venues like the Great American Music Hall and the Independent, and become nationally touring names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mixtape spotlights 15 local bands in the Americana, bluegrass, and country universes. The mix’s big tent approach is, on some level, reflective of the many permutations of roots music that Bay Area artists continue to explore. That’s not to say that we haven’t included some more traditional country and honky-tonk artists, like the throwback sounds of the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/thebstars/\">B Stars\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/LauraBenitezandtheHeartache/\">Laura Benitez and the Heartache\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of the bands in this mix, however, might be more considered more alternative. Take for example, the alt-Americana of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/WeBecameOwls/\">We Became Owls\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/wildcouchmusic/\">Wild Couch\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>’s alt-country sound.

Plenty of those acts, like the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherscomatose/\">Brothers Comatose\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, have subsequently ascended to the larger stages of rock venues like the Great American Music Hall and the Independent, and become nationally touring names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mixtape spotlights 15 local bands in the Americana, bluegrass, and country universes. The mix’s big tent approach is, on some level, reflective of the many permutations of roots music that Bay Area artists continue to explore. That’s not to say that we haven’t included some more traditional country and honky-tonk artists, like the throwback sounds of the \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/thebstars/\">B Stars\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/LauraBenitezandtheHeartache/\">Laura Benitez and the Heartache\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of the bands in this mix, however, might be more considered more alternative. Take for example, the alt-Americana of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/WeBecameOwls/\">We Became Owls\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/wildcouchmusic/\">Wild Couch\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>’s alt-country sound.

Such a challenge is especially difficult in a place like the Bay Area, where year in, year out, a wide variety of talented local musicians release compelling and impressive albums, a great many of which gain acclaim well beyond the Bay’s borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of trying to identify some objective list of the “ten best” albums released by Bay Area bands this year, we went exactly the opposite direction, asking our knowledgeable editors, writers and photographers to pick their personal favorite releases by local artists in 2015. As one might expect, our team’s varied musical tastes meant that only a few people named the same artists; instead, it became clear that in 2015 Bay Area independent artists continued to push forward a variety of genres, including garage rock, hip-hop, indie pop, and hardcore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mixtape collects music from ten artists that were among the favorites of Bay Bridged staffers in 2015. The notes below offer some highlights from coverage they’ve received on The Bay Bridged’s blog over the course of the year. By its nature, the mix is a musically diverse list that only barely scrapes the surface of Bay Area music in 2015, but it makes a compelling case that this year was another one packed with highlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u003cstrong>About the Bands:\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ezrafurmanmusic\">Ezra Furman\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> – “Lousy Connection”\u003cbr>\nWhile Oakland-based Ezra Furman has already found fame in Europe, American audiences are starting to catch up, and this year’s \u003cem>Perpetual Motion People\u003c/em> provides every reason to jump on board. As Jody Amable explained \u003ca href=\"http://thebaybridged.com/2015/06/10/ezra-furman-renewal-junkie/\">in this profile\u003c/a>, the new album, which followed after his relocation from Chicago to the Bay, marks another step forward for this talented songwriter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On this record, he seems more self-assured than he’s ever been — what was once a panicked stream of self-loathing asides now reads as a personal motto; a swaggering pride; a challenge. It’s the same subject matter — insecurities; lover’s quarrels — but backed by the the fuller band, the slicker production, and the slight serenity he’s found since coming here, it sounds like it’s coming from a more confident place. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sarahbethenelson\">Sarah Bethe Nelson\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> – “Uneasy”\u003cbr>\nSarah Bethe Nelson’s debut album was a strong consensus pick among Bay Bridged staffers, a testament to the killer pop hooks on \u003cem>Fast Moving Clouds\u003c/em>. Formerly the frontwoman of Prairiedog, Nelson worked with Kelley Stoltz and a bunch of talented veteran locals to record the LP and her voice and words shine throughout. Russell Jelinek \u003ca href=\"http://thebaybridged.com/2015/02/05/sarah-bethe-nelsons-fast-moving-clouds-lp-coming-out-on-burger/\">described Nelson’s song “Paying”\u003c/a> thusly:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Damn! Is that a breakup song or what?!? She’s heartbroken and you get the feeling she hates to do what she’s about to do, but dammit, she’s gonna be strong.

There’s a wonderful unpredictability to the band’s punk, post-punk, experimental, and pop elements: you never know quite which direction the next song will go, but it’s always a good one.

Such a challenge is especially difficult in a place like the Bay Area, where year in, year out, a wide variety of talented local musicians release compelling and impressive albums, a great many of which gain acclaim well beyond the Bay’s borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of trying to identify some objective list of the “ten best” albums released by Bay Area bands this year, we went exactly the opposite direction, asking our knowledgeable editors, writers and photographers to pick their personal favorite releases by local artists in 2015. As one might expect, our team’s varied musical tastes meant that only a few people named the same artists; instead, it became clear that in 2015 Bay Area independent artists continued to push forward a variety of genres, including garage rock, hip-hop, indie pop, and hardcore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This mixtape collects music from ten artists that were among the favorites of Bay Bridged staffers in 2015. The notes below offer some highlights from coverage they’ve received on The Bay Bridged’s blog over the course of the year. By its nature, the mix is a musically diverse list that only barely scrapes the surface of Bay Area music in 2015, but it makes a compelling case that this year was another one packed with highlights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u003cstrong>About the Bands:\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ezrafurmanmusic\">Ezra Furman\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> – “Lousy Connection”\u003cbr>\nWhile Oakland-based Ezra Furman has already found fame in Europe, American audiences are starting to catch up, and this year’s \u003cem>Perpetual Motion People\u003c/em> provides every reason to jump on board. As Jody Amable explained \u003ca href=\"http://thebaybridged.com/2015/06/10/ezra-furman-renewal-junkie/\">in this profile\u003c/a>, the new album, which followed after his relocation from Chicago to the Bay, marks another step forward for this talented songwriter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On this record, he seems more self-assured than he’s ever been — what was once a panicked stream of self-loathing asides now reads as a personal motto; a swaggering pride; a challenge. It’s the same subject matter — insecurities; lover’s quarrels — but backed by the the fuller band, the slicker production, and the slight serenity he’s found since coming here, it sounds like it’s coming from a more confident place. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sarahbethenelson\">Sarah Bethe Nelson\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> – “Uneasy”\u003cbr>\nSarah Bethe Nelson’s debut album was a strong consensus pick among Bay Bridged staffers, a testament to the killer pop hooks on \u003cem>Fast Moving Clouds\u003c/em>. Formerly the frontwoman of Prairiedog, Nelson worked with Kelley Stoltz and a bunch of talented veteran locals to record the LP and her voice and words shine throughout. Russell Jelinek \u003ca href=\"http://thebaybridged.com/2015/02/05/sarah-bethe-nelsons-fast-moving-clouds-lp-coming-out-on-burger/\">described Nelson’s song “Paying”\u003c/a> thusly:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Damn! Is that a breakup song or what?!? She’s heartbroken and you get the feeling she hates to do what she’s about to do, but dammit, she’s gonna be strong. The vivid picture she paints and unique way to tell off of this no-good bum of an ex bring the story together just perfectly. And oh yeah, she and her band make some beautiful sounds in the process.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/coldbeatsf\">Cold Beat\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> – “Cracks”\u003cbr>\nArriving a little over a year after Cold Beat’s debut LP, the group’s latest, \u003cem>Into The Air\u003c/em>, found them incorporating more electronics, with synths and drum machines featured more prominently throughout. There’s a wonderful unpredictability to the band’s punk, post-punk, experimental, and pop elements: you never know quite which direction the next song will go, but it’s always a good one. We didn’t cover Cold Beat nearly enough on the Bay Bridged this year — here’s to changing that in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Groups like Geographer and Painted Palms are just some of the latest in a long line of acclaimed local indie-pop bands to break out nationally, joining Rogue Wave, the Dodos, Papercuts, Film School, the Aislers Set and many, many more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the future of local indie-pop, this mixtape includes plenty of emerging local bands continuing to create catchy-as-hell music. Here follows 11 great acts from across the indie pop landscape, ranging from the sunny, upbeat bliss of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/summerpeaksmusic\">Summer Peaks\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> to the hazy beach-at-sunset sounds of \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/unclebobey\">Bobey\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.

Wolfe started out in Sacramento before relocating to LA, and over the course of four albums has defined a unique mix of heavy doom and gothic folk. “Iron Moon” comes from her new album, \u003cem>Abyss\u003c/em>, and it highlights both sides of her sound very well. Speaking of Sacramento, our state capital also happens to be where \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/mikefredkrol\">Mike Krol\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> recorded his new record, \u003cem>Turkey\u003c/em>. Krol’s an expert at no-nonsense garage rock with a power-pop heart, and \u003cem>Turkey\u003c/em> doesn’t waste any time over the course of its 18 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve also included in this mix the lead-off track from \u003cem>The Expanding Flower Planet\u003c/em>, the first LP from \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/deradoorian\">Deradoorian\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. As Angel Deradoorian’s credits might suggest — she’s played bass and sang in Dirty Projectors, collaborated with Flying Lotus, and was a member of Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks — she’s a musical omnivore, crafting vocal-driven songs with elements of freewheeling prog and psych.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Locally, three of our favorite Bay Area bands celebrate new albums with release parties this month. Oakland’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shannon-and-the-Clams/134248713268350\">Shannon and the Clams\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> have long been at the top of the garage-pop universe, with songs that soar on earworm melodies and Shannon’s stellar vocals. Their records are consistently strong — and early singles suggest that the Sonny Smith-produced \u003cem>Gone by the Dawn\u003c/em> isn’t likely to change that — but the group is even better live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also great live is \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/goldenvoid\">Golden Void\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, back with their sophomore full length, \u003cem>Berkana\u003c/em>. The album was recorded by Tim Green (of the F*cking Champs), and, while their prior LP was tracked live, this time the group added layers of instrumentation to their heady psych.

Wolfe started out in Sacramento before relocating to LA, and over the course of four albums has defined a unique mix of heavy doom and gothic folk. “Iron Moon” comes from her new album, \u003cem>Abyss\u003c/em>, and it highlights both sides of her sound very well. Speaking of Sacramento, our state capital also happens to be where \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/mikefredkrol\">Mike Krol\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> recorded his new record, \u003cem>Turkey\u003c/em>. Krol’s an expert at no-nonsense garage rock with a power-pop heart, and \u003cem>Turkey\u003c/em> doesn’t waste any time over the course of its 18 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve also included in this mix the lead-off track from \u003cem>The Expanding Flower Planet\u003c/em>, the first LP from \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/deradoorian\">Deradoorian\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. As Angel Deradoorian’s credits might suggest — she’s played bass and sang in Dirty Projectors, collaborated with Flying Lotus, and was a member of Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks — she’s a musical omnivore, crafting vocal-driven songs with elements of freewheeling prog and psych.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Locally, three of our favorite Bay Area bands celebrate new albums with release parties this month. Oakland’s \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Shannon-and-the-Clams/134248713268350\">Shannon and the Clams\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> have long been at the top of the garage-pop universe, with songs that soar on earworm melodies and Shannon’s stellar vocals. Their records are consistently strong — and early singles suggest that the Sonny Smith-produced \u003cem>Gone by the Dawn\u003c/em> isn’t likely to change that — but the group is even better live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also great live is \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/goldenvoid\">Golden Void\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, back with their sophomore full length, \u003cem>Berkana\u003c/em>. The album was recorded by Tim Green (of the F*cking Champs), and, while their prior LP was tracked live, this time the group added layers of instrumentation to their heady psych. Finally, Bay Area post-punk favorites \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/wildmothband\">Wild Moth\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> are back with \u003cem>Inhibitor\u003c/em>, out now on Iron Pier. It’s an intense, melodic set of post-punk that demands to be heard live and loud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Bay Area has long been home to talented experimental and avant-garde musicians who employ acoustic and electronic instruments in unique ways. We’ve collected music from twelve of these experimental local artists for this month’s mixtape — an impressive demonstration of the scene’s talent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say that there aren’t some more conventional elements being played with here. As you’ll hear in the mixtape’s opener, local musician \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://andrewweathers.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrew Weathers\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> crafts improv-driven songs blending compositional textures with folk and Americana. Improvisation also drives the duo \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blackspirituals.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Spirituals\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. Together, sound artist Zachary James Watkins and percussionist Marshall Trammell make captivating heavy psych; it’s no surprise the group recently toured with the band Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly heavy is the new collaborative release between \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/3-Leafs/101031226664279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3 Leafs\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Body-Swap/112658995420003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Body Swap\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. And if you’re looking for warped, pastiche-laden post-punk, be sure to check out \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.notnotfun.com/posts/swanox-duskrunner-lp/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swanox\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, led by Anthony Orion (who also happens to be the drummer in Tony Molina’s band).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Equally impressive, though, is the variety of experimentally-inclined electronic artists in the Bay Area. Notably, two artists in this mix — \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/horaflora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Horaflora\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaitlynaureliasmith.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> — will be performing at next month’s annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfemf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Electronic Music Festival\u003c/a>. Smith’s musical arc is fascinating: after studying composition at Berklee, she played in an indie-folk band before discovering a vintage synthesizer that led her into the hypnotic sound-sculpting you’ll hear in the song included here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other electronic musicians in the mix straddle the worlds of the avant-garde and pop: \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.christopherwillits.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christopher Willits\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hollyherndon.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holly Herndon\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.

The Bay Area has long been home to talented experimental and avant-garde musicians who employ acoustic and electronic instruments in unique ways. We’ve collected music from twelve of these experimental local artists for this month’s mixtape — an impressive demonstration of the scene’s talent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say that there aren’t some more conventional elements being played with here. As you’ll hear in the mixtape’s opener, local musician \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://andrewweathers.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrew Weathers\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> crafts improv-driven songs blending compositional textures with folk and Americana. Improvisation also drives the duo \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blackspirituals.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Spirituals\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. Together, sound artist Zachary James Watkins and percussionist Marshall Trammell make captivating heavy psych; it’s no surprise the group recently toured with the band Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly heavy is the new collaborative release between \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/3-Leafs/101031226664279\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3 Leafs\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Body-Swap/112658995420003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Body Swap\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. And if you’re looking for warped, pastiche-laden post-punk, be sure to check out \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.notnotfun.com/posts/swanox-duskrunner-lp/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swanox\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>, led by Anthony Orion (who also happens to be the drummer in Tony Molina’s band).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Equally impressive, though, is the variety of experimentally-inclined electronic artists in the Bay Area. Notably, two artists in this mix — \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/horaflora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Horaflora\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaitlynaureliasmith.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> — will be performing at next month’s annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfemf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Electronic Music Festival\u003c/a>. Smith’s musical arc is fascinating: after studying composition at Berklee, she played in an indie-folk band before discovering a vintage synthesizer that led her into the hypnotic sound-sculpting you’ll hear in the song included here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
