Album picks and reviews in ten words for the roots rock/indie folk/singer-songwriter scene.
Noah Derksen - Through It All Clean writing and a stunning vocal performance. Understated band shines.
Madeleine Roger - Love Only Grows So many perfect little flourishes here to support the listen.
M. Dunton - Forever, Soon Does the modern retro thing with style. Hello pedal steel!
Justin Saladino Band - Sink Or Swim Filthy good roots rock with tight guitar and vocal phrasing.
Jeremie Albino - Tears You Hide Chorus punches really drive the song home. Weighty snare drum.
Ryan LeVine - Afterlife Deeply minimal, but surprisingly rich. The percussion works really well.
Goodnight Blue Moon - Undertow A focused and driving tune. Airy vocals, dense rhythm section.
Left Arm Tan - Look at Miss Ohio Delightful Wurlitzer keys hanging out with some great vocal harmonies.
M. Lockwood Porter - Stumbling Toward the Dawn What a fade in! Everything here is just so groovy.
The High Divers - Right Direction Wait for the vocal. Holy shit, it soars. Great song.
