“Far From It All Seems Small” Seattle Compilation Released

Fans of all things loud and catchy rejoice, From Far It All Seems Small, a new compilation documenting the Seattle rock scene of 2024, is now available via KR Records. The 14-song collection features new tracks from Supercrush, TV Star, Shook Ones, Spiral XP, Star Party, Sun Spots, Fluung, and many more, making it a snapshot of Seattle’s current musical moment, and also essential listening for anyone who enjoys fuzzed-out guitar music. To celebrate the album’s release, Shine have shared a new music video for their contribution, Happy Diving, that follows singles from Supercrush and TV Star.

Continuing in the spirit of regional compilation albums like 1988’s Sub Pop 200, From Far It All Seems Small serves as a snapshot of the contemporary Seattle scene, highlighting the area’s abundance of incredible alternative, punk and shoegaze groups. The idea was conceived by the members of Supercrush while on a cross country tour, during long drives spent reflecting on the wealth of great bands back at home. From Far It All Seems Small is now available digitally and at record shops throughout Seattle and Tacoma, with an exclusive emerald city green colored vinyl limited edition available only at Sonic Boom Records store. The compilation will be available in stores across the rest of the US from June 28th. KR Records will be hosting a two-day record release celebration on May 31st and June 1st at Black Lodge in Seattle.

“We realized the scene here is the best it’s been in a long, long time. There was a good feeling of camaraderie developing between many of the groups from playing shows together and working alongside each other on various projects. The comp is an opportunity to celebrate the music from our extended circle of friends here in town, and hopefully to galvanize the scene and contribute further to that sense of camaraderie.” (Supercrush‘s Mark Palm)
