“Keep Me Safe” by talker: A Lo-Fi Scorcher
One of the things I miss most about college is the house shows we used to go to. I have a soft spot for anything that sounds like it could be at home in a sweaty basement, so with all the love in the world, I suggest to you the song “Keep Me Safe” by […]

Catching Up with Field Guides, Featuring Benedict Kupstas
Sonically ambitious and creatively raw, we get “Lucky Star in the A.M.” by Field Guides.

Corey Kilgannon’s Album, As Above So Below, Sorts Through the Noise
I don’t know if you’ve looked at the news lately, dear reader, but it’s entirely possible the world is coming to an end. Between the threats of nuclear war, totalitarianism, and climate change, there’s more than enough reason to think that we’re not going to make it. These feelings of instability and uneasiness have […]
Digging a Little Deeper: Noah Proudfoot and The Botanicals “Wild One”
Forgive me for admitting this, but I’ve been a little bored by Indie rock lately. Though the women of indie have certainly been bringing their A-game, the genre doesn’t seem to be evolving at the same breakneck speed as rap, pop, or country. A lot of tracks that came out this month probably could have […]

Let Elliah Heifetz Take You on the Road Less Traveled
One of America’s best-loved life lessons comes courtesy of Robert Frost and his poem, “The Road Not Taken.” If your high school English teacher skipped this unit, you can probably go ahead and listen to “It Will Shine For You” by Elliah Heifetz and get the gist. “Smoke yourself to sleep, with the fury […]
A Fresh Look with Brooke Sierra and LALAKI on “Separate Hearts”
When I first heard the opening lines of Brooke Sierra and LALAKI’s “Separate Hearts,” I knew Sierra reminded me of someone. I couldn’t figure out who I was thinking of though. Was I detecting something that sounded like Billie Eilish had a couple of years ago? Was I thinking of Milk & Bone? Banks? […]
“Moonlight” by Frogi is Definitely Dreamy
“Moonlight” by Frogi sounds a lot like something my 16-year-old self could day-dream to, and I wish there had been more songs like it when I was young. Take a listen. “Oh I was dyin’ and wishin’ I could get you back, a desperation so strong no one understands, I started closing my eyes to […]
