This week features tunes from Noah Derksen, William The Conqueror, Jacob Jeffries, Chris Kasper, and more.

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

Noah Derksen - Fuck You and Fuck Your Friends too Butter smooth vocal, soulful arrangement, vengeful lyrics coming in hot.

William The Conqueror - In Your Arms Perfect guitar tones, nonchalant vocal performance and effortlessly good writing.

Jacob Jeffries - Punchline The song that’s been on loop for me this week.

Chris Kasper - Shuffle On Through Really cool lilting vocal rhythm and melody for the chorus.

Harrison R. King - Before We Rise A slow jam with tight guitars and great percussion/groove.

Starpainter - Low-Hanging Fruit Canadian soulful twang. A soft organ dances in and out.

Sam Lynch - Off the Rails Vocal absolutely shines on sparse sections. Loops chorus is catchy.

The Actual Goners - Cannonball This week’s unstoppable guitar riff. Rhythm section is locked in.

MacGregor Burns - Keeping Up With the Trying Really dig the fuzzed and harmonized guitars between vocal sections.

Oliver Wood - Soul of This Town It’s such a convincing performance. Elegant and bluesy, soulful rock.

J.E. Sunde - Stop Caring Great song, driest mix in the universe. Soft keys slap.

Carson McHone - Hawks Don’t Share Guitar tones like the Beatles catalogue, propelling and exciting song.
