I played this one twice before even thinking about writing anything. The first run just kind of hit me straight on, the second time I started noticing how much was going on underneath. The remix version of “Stitch Me Up”…

Moonroof – Massachusetts
I’ve been keeping up with this band Moonroof for a while now, so this wasn’t a random listen for me. It was more like checking in on a band I already trust a lot. I remember writing about them last…
Maya Lumen – Maynard’s Song
I didn’t read anything about “Maynard’s Song” before hitting play which I’m glad about now. It’s the kind of track that works better when you just let it sit with you. It stays soft the whole time. No sudden shifts,…
Groovy shirt club – Believe
Groovy shirt club just released a new single called “Believe” and it’s one of those songs that clicks pretty quickly. I didn’t expect the chorus to be the part that stuck, but yeah… that’s what kept looping in my head…
Chandra – Boom
I had this one on while walking back from the store, headphones half on, cars passing, nothing special going on and it still pulled me in fast. “Boom” by Chandra leans right into that mix of pop hooks and straight-up…
The Tennessee Werewolves – Rise Up
I just discovered this amazing track “Rise Up” by The Tennessee Werewolves. It drops you right in the middle of it with loud guitars moving, drums hitting hard and no warning. I actually checked my volume in the first few…
Robert Peterson and The Crusade – Change Coming On
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…
Martin Lloyd Howard – Rapids
“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…
S.K. Wellington – Honey Slow Down
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 – I Love You Even More Now That You’re a Little Fucked Up
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 – Put It Behind Me
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…
Don Sechelski – The Road To Damascus
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…
theophilia – Big Bang
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 – Time Traveler
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 – Mystic Ringing
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…
Hanan Townshend – What We Lost II
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 – Where I Find God
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…
