TURN IT UP
Music written as Rob Cross and King Robby
"Catchy, ethereal songs; grooving bass and drums; unique often Rhodes like rhythm guitar playing; and the distinctive and sultry vocals of Janie Oliver" - Electronic Musician Magazine
"The sunny, breezy vibe of this soulful indie-electrojazz trio cuts through the fog of their native San Francisco to deliver smart sketches of love and life without crossing over into the unholy landscape of adult contemporary shibboleth. Not an easy trick, but Weather Pending pulls it off with aplomb" - QRO Magazine
"Dreamy and imaginative collection of soothing and beautifully delivered sound that melts into your inner core and transports you into a world where only good things happen. Just imagine biting into a chocolate bar when you were a kid and thats exactly the same feeling you'll get when you listen." - Deftune

Music written with Weather Pending
"And How! is at times touching and reflective, at others uplifting. Janie's is not the only subtle unique voice on the record; as a whole the mesmerizing, intertwining rhythms, timbres and textures elevate the debut offering from Weather Pending above the level of potentially ambient fusion pop to a much higher plane. The forecast is most certainly bright thanks to this soft little ray of sunshine." - The 405
"Janie Olivers vocals warm, chill, breeze, shower, and stream through the music like a climate unto themselves." - East Bay Express
"Fueled by spacey reverb ballads and lo-fi, electro pop, Weather Pending have crafted one of the years most pleasant surprises. Already a favorite with Nic Harcourt and the KCRW crowd, it's only a matter of time before the East Coast finds out about this powerhouse trio." - Absolute Punk
"I love, love, LOVE, this album. The combination of Janies voice with the warm rhythm section and great guitar work of Rob and Brian make this an album absolutely worth looking at...do yourself a huge favor - buy it." - Indieophile

Music written with Deepfried
Santa Cruz based duo Deepfried are Robby Cross and Peter Chester, who met studying electronic music at the University of California and went on to build a empire of sun-drenched beats and cozy, tripped-out jams inspired by their favorite incense fragrances. Cool-as-hell dad Chester (vocals/keys/guitar) has been known to chill with his toddler in the studio and let baby loose on the mic and remix the results.
The latest feel-good offering from this affable team is a funky single titled “That’s Fresh,” and listeners partial to late deejaying greats like Bonobo or Nightmares on Wax will feel right at home with the track’s ambling, convivially synthetic trip hop energy, meandering saxophone, heavy digitization and uplifting vocals. Tuck into those Scooby Snacks and trek on back to 1997! - Gold Flake Paint
