"Rosslyn Station is Guinevere Tully, an anti-folk artist from Herndon. Recorded for cheap and released for free, her songs reach gently into past hurts and present despair for something kind to share. She sings about heartbreak, depression, and dysphoria with softness and sincerity in the stubborn hope that you'll sing along."

The debut album from POC-led slowcore project Mothlights, Walking The World With A Leaky Umbrella (Strawberry Moon Records), is both an artistic feat of escapism and a statement of political, cultural, and societal defiance. The album came to be during an outpouring of fevered creativity in downtown Washington DC amidst the George Floyd uprisings, the COVID lockdown, and the events of the Jan 6th Insurrection. The 15-song record confronts political themes of decolonization, reculturation, antifascism and climate anxiety alongside personal themes of melancholy, remembrance, and mental health struggles. Preceding the album will be the eerily emotive single, Kelartic.
Mothlights’ primary singer songwriter, Rishi Gupta, has been in and out of punk and post hardcore groups since his early teens, and began releasing folk music under the name Kindred Wings in 2014. Mothlights represents a fresh artistic continuum for Rishi. It draws on the influences of slowcore artists like Low, Bluetile Lounge, and Carissa’s Wierd; singer-songwriters like Jackson C Frank, Julien Baker, and Elliott Smith; and instrumentalists such as John Fahey, Tashi Dorji, Marisa Anderson, and Leo Kottke. In addition, Rishi sought inspiration from traditional Bengali folk music heritage.
