Robert Peterson and The Crusade just landed on my radar this month with a new record titled “Change Coming On”. There’s a point about halfway through this album where I caught myself turning the volume up without thinking. Not for…
“Rapids” by Martin Lloyd Howard doesn’t feel like a typical single you just play once and move on. It’s the kind of track you end up replaying without really planning to. It’s one of the best insturmental pieces I’ve heard…
I discovered this artist S.K. Wellington by accident, and her new single “Honey Slow Down” has stayed with me longer than I expected. I kept replaying it over and over again and the first thing that clicked for me was…
Ian Vargo showed up on my feed out of nowhere and his new single stuck around longer than I expected. “I Love You Even More Now That You’re a Little Fucked Up”. It’s a long title but you’ll love it.…
Kevin Driscoll just released “Put It Behind Me” and it’s one of those songs that doesn’t try to impress you it just sits there with you for a while. Kevin is one of my favorite indie artists and his music…
I didn’t know what to expect when I pressed play on this new single, “The Road To Damascus” by Don Sechelski, an artist I recently discovered. So I played the song and within a few lines, I kind of stopped thinking about expectations…
Swedish writer and producer theophilia just dropped “Big Bang” a 10-track album that doesn’t sit still for long. I played it through once, then ended up going back almost immediately. Not because I missed something, but because it felt different…
Ker releases a new single called “Time Traveler” and it’s one of the best records I’ve heard recently. The song leans into that reflective retro sound he’s been building. The first thing that caught me was the chorus. The melody…
Varshana just landed on my radar with her amazing new single “Mystic Ringing”. I put it on last night without really expecting that groove to stick the way it did. It’s got that easy reggae bounce, but it doesn’t feel…
I put this on late at night without thinking much and it kind of stopped me in place. I just discovered this masterpiece “What We Lost II” by Hanan Townshend and it doesn’t rush into anything. It starts with these…
Stevie Lee Woods & The NRL Band just put out their version of “Where I Find God”. A song we already know from Larry Fleet, so this kind of release can go either way. It can feel unnecessary, or it…
I didn’t plan to sit with this one as long as I did, but here we are. I just discovered this talented artist 50mething and his new single “Drag Me by the Hair” kept pulling me back in. I played…
Shane Revers just landed on my radar with his new release “Inside Room 17”. I didn’t sit down with this record planning to write anything. It was one of those late-night listens where you just press play and see what…

I just dsicovered this amazing artist Joho and his new release “numbness is exhausting”. This album didn’t hit me all at once. It kind of unfolded slowly, track by track, like it needed a bit of time before everything made…
There’s a kind of song that doesn’t try to grab you right away, but still ends up sitting with you longer than expected. “City of Wind” is that kind of track for me.Cling Film just landed on my radar recently…
I didn’t expect this song to stick with me, but it did. Not in a loud way. More like something that quietly hangs around after it ends. Phoebe June has a pure voice and the way she conveys emotions through music is…
The first thing that grabbed my attention on TJ Howlett’s new EP was the guitar. I liked how it moves through the songs. On the title track “Easy Street” the guitar lines slip in between the verses. Like another voice…
Some album titles immediately make you curious. And “Ten New Toe-Tappers for Shoplifting & Self-Mutilation” by Tom Minor definitely did that for me. It’s the kind of name that hints at humor, sarcasm and maybe a little chaos before you…
