Ten Word Reviews

Forestry Division - Idaho Potatoes
This recording is packed with vibe. Ear candy, dry mix.

Elon Thomas - Lone Pine
Lots of sonic depth here. Percussion sounds excellent, neat vocal.

Counterfeit Cowboy - New Orleans
Sounds like a party! Really sweet playing on this tune.

Riley Catherall - Bark At The Moon
Feels like a weightless, brisk autumn walk in the city.

Willy Tea Taylor - Knuckleball Prime
So much heart in this. Beautiful use of negative space.

Andrew Goldring - Listening for Angels
Great writing, sneaky good production. Woody, confident drums. Soft voice.

Caleb Caudle - Way You Oughta Be Seen
Delightful restraint. An eager, caring song that knows its limits.

Ryan Culwell - Wild Sometimes
Such a unique and emotive vocal. Band is on point.
