Ten Word Reviews

Anthony da Costa - Everybody Says
Lots of nice internal rhymes in the lyrics. Great production.

HORSEBATH - In The Shade
Vintage sound. The mellowest Hammond organ. Like driving a convertible.

Lydia Luce - Never Enough
Superb production. There’s a place for everything. Sultry vocal performance.

Courtney Marie Andrews - Satellite
Sounds like the early 2000s North-American songwriter scene. Awesome.

Mike McKenna Jr. - Grassfire
Sounds like a bear waking up from hibernation. Consequential, melancholic.

Cecilia Castleman - It’s Alright
So much tension in the negative space. Excellent guitar work.

Tow’rs - Baker’s Dozen
Breezy late-summer evening of a song. Lovely vocal harmonies.

Clover County - Glass & Gold
Chorus pulls on the right emotional strings. Steady rhythm section.

Michael Dunstan - Death By Your Side
A slow-moving, weighty tune about gratitude. Washed out, cozy.
