Indie Folk Americana Canadiana 101 - Vol. 12

This week features tunes from Jordan Ruiz, Elizabeth Moen, The Hackles, Rory Butler, and more.

Album picks and reviews in ten words for the roots rock/indie folk/singer-songwriter scene.

Jordan Ruiz - Amboy At Midday Production is slick on this one. What a fabulous song.

Elizabeth Moen - Headgear This song is just so funky. Hugely emotive vocal recording. 

The Hackles - Pictures of Elvis Cozy indie pop-folk-rock. Ultra-tasty vocal harmonies. 

Rory Butler - Carefree Slow enough to grab your attention, fast enough to knock.

nites - Living Off The Land Stunning pop production guides a delicately written indie rock song. 

Griffin Anthony - Troublemaker Tight, compact, slightly claustrophobic in a way that’s really cool.

Kid Mammoth - Heartless Big punchline chorus, some neat guitar work. Good driving song. 

Golden Suits - Only Waiting 90s indie rock confidence in a solid folk-rock tune. 

Tim Wheatley - Shiny Tacoma Awesome vocal delivery falling somewhere between nonchalant and deep care.

The Adriatic - Five Of Cups It spans so many cool musical ideas. What a ride.
