Jax Hollow Brings Hendrix Flash to “Wolf in Sheepskin”
(Photo by Tina Andrea) I predict that Jax Hollow will be a household name by this time next year. She’s simply too talented of a vocalist, songwriter and guitarist to escape your attention for much longer. The Nashville-based artist’s latest single “Wolf In Sheepskin” has it all: grabber lyrics, tasty guitar and powerful vocals. Plus […]
In the Middle’s Brain Games is Both an Album and Comic Book
Some artists are so far ahead of their time that it feels like they’re playing 4-dimensional chess. That’s the case with the bicoastal band In The Middle, whose new album Brain Games doubles as an intriguing comic book. The band Coheed & Cambria accomplished this feat in the 2000s, but I assure you: it ain’t […]
DistroKid vs. TuneCore in 2024: An Honest Breakdown
If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering whether you should choose DistroKid or TuneCore for music distribution. Here’s my bottom-line answer that you probably won’t like: Just pick one. It really doesn’t matter all that much. Yeah, there are minor differences between the two services, but let’s be real – they’re minor. Will an extra […]
What Musicians Should Post on TikTok
You know me… I love social media. Especially TikTok. TikTok is God’s gift to mankind. It’s totally conducive to human flourishing and is almost certainly the final capstone in our species’ history-long march toward utopia. As it turns out, we were only one AI-filter-inspired-dance-challenge trend away from world peace this whole time. I’m so glad […]
On “By Their Standards,” By Angela Sclafani
It’s a comfortable thing to hang out with people who ‘get’ you – people who think the same way, do things the same way, aren’t particularly startling in their emotional peaks and valleys. It’s also kind of boring. From her new single “By Their Standards,” I get the feeling that Angela Sclafani lives in a […]
Western Kite’s “I LOVE YOU” Ascends Blue Skies
Let’s just get it out of the way: Western Kite is my favorite find of the past year. A solo project of Park Seo-yeon, Western Kite (웨스턴 카잇) is her main project alongside her feature alias of “Kite Park”. Born in 1992, she debuted in 2017, taking off in the Hongdae indie scene in Seoul, […]
Mirabelle Skipworth’s “The Narrator” & Reverberating Voices
You never really know the difference between vanilla ice cream and vanilla bean ice cream till you have it. One is bright, fresh, icy and sharp, while the other creamy, luscious, aromatic. But it’s all kinda made-up: you just know. So how do I describe a voice, a sound, that is vanilla – not plain […]
Why Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” endures
You know that feeling when you’ve discovered a song and it feels personal to you? It feels like something in that song is speaking to you, and no one else. Then you find out that millions of people are listening to that song and it feels jaded, it feels like it’s no longer special because […]
Christopher Morse’s Covering Old Scars Is a Vulnerable Search for Closure
Colorado-based singer-songwriter and folk artist Christopher Morse’s new EP, Covering Old Scars, is a four-track exploration of self-doubt and anxiety. Vulnerably diving into some of the artist’s past and critical life moments, the tracks serve as an emotional journey to find closure – even when all hope seems lost. “Always Been You,” the first single […]
