In October, Goon released their new EP Happy Omen which has gained praise from Noisey, Stereogum, BBC Radio 6 and even Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear who recently placed the band's single "She" at the top of his Favorite Songs of 2017playlist on Spotify.

Alyeska is the brainchild of Montana singer-songwriter Alaska Reid. Blending her influences of Dinosaur Jr., Guided by Voices and Fleetwood Mac, Alyeska is equal parts noisy, guitar driven indie rock and delicate, lyrically driven vocals and compositions.

Earlier this year the band released their first EP Crush which was produced by legendary indie rock producer John Agnello (Waxahatchee, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile.) Crush received critical acclaim from Billboard, Noisey, Stereogum and many more.

Since releasing the Crush EP, the band has gone on to open for Middle Kids, Frankie Cosmos and Blitzen Trapper.

Happy Omen is the follow up to the band's first EP Dusk of Punk which saw the completely independent band break through the indie rock noise, receiving high marks from Rolling Stone, Spin, The FADER, Indie Shuffle and DIY Mag, eventually landing them supporting slots for Grandaddy, Lucy Dacus, the Lemon Twigs and Starcrawler and performaing at FADER Fort during SXSW with NPR naming them one of their "Artists To Watch."
