Originally recorded and performed live at Nowadays in Ridgewood, Queens in September 2025. shinetiac follow up their sophomore release, “Infiltrating Roku City” with “live at café blue gelato”. A full audio-visual world to steep in. Mid-fi beats to study to, the lonely stoner seems to free her mind.

"...Somewhere miles outside of Roku City Jessica is sipping her perfectly steamed chai latté in the window of her neighborhood second-wave coffee shop, Café Blue Gelato in salt-stained Uggs. It’s a rainy but cool early winter evening, and her favorite local band, shinetiac, is playing the monthly open-mic-night.

She’s fully blissed out, sinking into the perfectly worn-in chair with a collapsed spring. shinetiac’s sounds fill the room with pine scented yankee candles & drip coffee. Acoustic guitars strum softly, Jaco Pastorius bass licks pulse through the floorboards, Jessica Pratt sounds chopped & screwed hum across tables, soft whistles and somber voices set the tone. The night is perfect, but she still can’t wait to be sitting next to her Amazon electric fireplace watching Mormon Wives in her beige sweatsuit and knitted pompom beanie..."
