Adam Schlesinger was a prodigious and prolific songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. He died on April 1 at the age of 52 as the result of complications from COVID-19. Not only was Schlesinger in multiple beloved bands—including the power-pop-leaning Fountains of Wayne and sophisticated electro-pop act Ivy—but he also collaborated on songs for movie soundtracks and the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
A wide array of artists touched by Schlesinger's life pay tribute to the many musical projects of which he was a part via the Bandcamp-exclusive benefit compilation, Saving for a Custom Van. The 31-song collection features collaborators, tourmates, friends, and fans putting their own spin on songs spanning his entire career. Saving for a Custom Van, which takes its title from a lyric in Fountains of Wayne's "Utopia Parkway," is co-curated and co-released by Father/Daughter Records and Wax Nine.
One-hundred percent of Saving for a Custom Van proceeds will be donated to MusiCares' COVID-19 Relief Fund, which is dedicated to helping music industry and community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Smart, sweetly slashing indie-rock that recalls peers like Swearin’ and Waxahatchee, with wonderful tunes about wasting anxious hours on nervous boys." - Rolling Stone

"Sir Babygirl's songs are as wildly spiked musically as they are emotionally -- a blithely confrontational mix of bedroom indie rock and futuristic turbo-pop with all levels in the red." - Billboard

"...it's full of these wonderful thickets of ideas—a little bit of 70s singer-songwriter tropes here, a little minimal jazz there, a synth-marimba (or glockenspiel or something) that pops up for a tiny melody and then drops away." - Noisey

"There’s something to be said for the intrigue of a discomforting welcome. Issaquah-based singer-songwriter Whitney Ballen greets listeners to her new album with a guitar riff that aurally feels like bugs creeping and crawling over one’s skin, only to be followed by her whispery vocals that send a shiver up the spine before giving way to banshee wails as waves of crashing instrumental sounds build. It’s a jarring introduction that prevents any chance at complacent listening. - Seattle Weekly

“Milky Milk” is the new single from Dama Scout, the eclectic trio from London fronted by Eva Liu (vocals, guitar), joined by childhood friends Luciano Rossi (bass, keys) and Danny Grant (drums). Established in Glasgow, the band draw their name, in part, from the protagonist of Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ prefixed by ‘Dama’, meaning woman or deer. “Milky Milk” takes cues from the band’s influences of Can and Francois Hardy, creating an elastic performance, building tension through the push and pull of dynamics and tempo - culminating in the relief of the euphoric end section.
