He’s sharing its title track, a fuzzy blowout that rips and roars and takes over your entire head as Adams’ voice peeks through the layers with spiritualistic mantras: “Oh, the lives we never live/ And the ones we have to come/ Sing and weep concurrently/ In rotation through a coil.” – Stereogum

“Recorded by Melina Duterte of Jay Som fame, Pendant melds tender songwriting with an atmosphere that plunges the listener right in to the heart of the compositions…a muted display of guitar-pop, laced with a poignancy that becomes more prevalent with each passing, somewhat faded hook.” – Gold Flake Paint

Samuelito Cruz is known around the San Francisco Bay Area for playing with breakout bands Happy Diving and Never Young, but he’s also been releasing a significant number of songs since May of last year under the Toner moniker. Over the course of five months, Cruz recorded a series of songs alongside his brother in a shed behind his old house in Oakland. The result is his debut self-titled LP, which is set to be released in the spring of this year. On “High And Dry,” Cruz attempts to dive into the murky waters of self-reflection, but his effort turns into more of a bellyflop as each new verse emanates exhaustion. The track is inaugurated by a statement, of disaffection — “We’re all so tired of living and breathing when everyday’s the same it gets deceiving” — but Cruz’s lofty contemplations of existence begin to narrow and become more specific by the song’s close: “I know you’re sitting at home while I’m stoned & alone as I’m heading back to sleep.”
