Weekly Listens
From Indian Lakes
Of course, our first weekly listen is the one and only From Indian Lakes. The new album released in late 2019 showed all the amazing things this band is capable of.
The Magic Lantern
This band grabbed me in with the stand out vocalist and soft instrumental. A calming wave washes over listeners as they listen to this delicate tune.
The Brazen Youth
Our lovely cover artist for issue one. We admire these farm boys for their ability to make a song sound so natural yet so complex. No Cat No Cradle proves to be a fun song for any ear.
Lemolo
Off of her October 2019 album, this song showcases Lemolo’s soft yet powerful voice. The songs starts soft but quickly picks up the pace to one that demands listener’s attention.
Twain
Not an artist we listen to often, but one we appreciate fully. Twain brings listeners back to a simpler time with swaying, soft vocals and masterful artistry.
Will Orchard
Coming forward with his first album since changing his project Littleboybigheadonbike to just Will Orchard, the new music is a testament of his unwavering creativity and craftsmanship. The album as a whole creates an entire world for listeners, with stretching scenery, glowing streetlights, foggy windows, and some friends on a journey.
Squirrel Flower
Mixing a smooth, beautiful voice with rough guitar parts and drums, Red Shoulder is hard not to love. It is atmospheric and evokes emotion out of listeners.
Half Waif
In her first release in a year, Half Waif has not lost touch with her deep lyrical ability and emotion-dripping voice. Ordinary Talk marks the first song off of her recently announced March album. Half Waif constantly immerses listeners in her empathy driven work.
Conan Gray
It’s not often that you can hear an artists emotions oozing through a recording, but that’s exactly what Conan does in this first single off his upcoming album. Following his rough childhood, The Story is an inspiring tale about life’s struggles, and the hope we gain from them.
Retirement Party
An often loud band, Retirement Party’s Free Will is a treat. It’s a simple tune that carries a highly nostalgic melody. Somehow, you find yourself thinking of simpler times.
Phoebe Bridgers
“Garden Song” is a strong first single since Phoebe’s 2018 Stranger in the Alps. It carries atmospheric, story-telling quality that Bridgers has mastered.
COIN
Starting off their 3rd album, Dreamland, “Into My Arms” sounds like an indie pop classic. COIN has welcomed this new stage in their career.
Margaret Glaspy
Margaret’s voice is unlike any other. The same can go for her music, comparable to Andy Shauf and Haley Heynderickx. “Stay With Me” is an anthem about love, making the heart feel light.
Orla Gartland
Orla has an amazing story-telling ability with her catchy, emotional music. The seller line in the song is “I’m swallowed up by this catholic guilt.”
Spanish Love Songs
A high energy tune with classic pop punk vocals carrying through the song. “Losers” is sure to make you bop your head while also evoking a deep emotion through the pessimistic lyrics.
Giant Rooks
The first single off of their debut album, Rookery, is an energetic tale with a lot of personality.
