Independent Project Records (IPR) and the New York City trio Springhouse will reissue the band’s 12-track album From Now to OK on March 14. Originally a limited-edition CD from 2008, this new release features vinyl, CD, and digital formats, along with a bonus CD packed with previously unreleased demos and live recordings. Ahead of the album, the group has unveiled the single & video for “Moving Van”—check it out now.
The Album
From Now to OK dives into an acoustic-leaning, folk-rock sound, maintaining Springhouse’s dreamy, melodic core. You’ll sense the late-sixties British influence of Nick Drake and The Beatles, woven into the band’s distinctly Anglophile style. The physical editions boast vibrant designs by master designer Bruce Licher.

About Springhouse
One of the earliest major-signed U.S. shoegaze bands, Springhouse rose to indie prominence in the early ’90s with two albums on Caroline Records. They toured with heavyweights like Ride, House of Love, The Chills, and Belly, while frontman Mitch Friedland channeled Britfolk underpinnings with his heavily processed nylon-string acoustic guitars. Along with bassist Larry Heinemann and drummer Jack Rabid, the band delivered a high-energy, melodic take on dream pop/shoegaze long before the mid-’90s alt-rock explosion.
