Greg Mendez — I Wanna Feel Pretty
Played: 2026-03-12
Lead single and opening track from Beauty Land, Mendez's sixth album and debut for Dead Oceans, due 29 May 2026. Recorded almost entirely alone, direct to tape, in a small windowless room in his Philadelphia home studio. Video shot on 35mm film by Rhys Scarabosio in the suburbs where Mendez grew up. His 2023 self-titled album was a slow-burn breakthrough after 15 years of relative obscurity.
Greg Mendez — No Evil
Played: 2026-05-07 (Segment 6)
Philadelphia singer-songwriter who had an unexpected breakthrough with his self-titled album in 2023. "No Evil" is the final single from Beauty Land (May 29, Dead Oceans), his first full-length since. Recorded to tape, almost entirely alone in his makeshift home studio. Music video directed by Douglas Dulgarian (They Are Gutting A Body Of Water). On the song: "A lot of the time I feel locked inside my own head, or maybe it's inside all these screens. This song isn't about that, at least not in the 'about' sense… Like how a landscape painting can show the sky without being about the sky." Placement: closes Segment 6 — a quiet, self-contained end to the alt run that prepares the room for the final two tracks.
