Another great month of music, almost too much of it, to keep the format of 40 songs from the month I ended up pulling a few favorites. But there are some great songs in here, and I know I will continue to come back to this mixtape as the year
First Aid Kit
First Aid Kit is sharing a new single called “You Are The Problem Here” in honor of International Women’s Day. It’s a foray into a very different style for them, and explicitly condemns sexual assault. It’s a really powerful track, where you can feel the palpable sense
Andrew Combs
February is always a fantastic month for new music. With SXSW right around the corner, it’s a huge driver for new music and this year was another great one. Now that February is over and we are two months down into this year, it’s time once again to
I got out of the habit of collecting / curating and distributing mixtapes back when mp3’s became harder and harder to come by. Since then, I’ve been putting together yearly song dumps that are a great catch-all to keep up with all the new music that comes our way.
Newport Folk Fest
Our favorite festival (by far) is about to sell their 2017 stock tomorrow and I feel like it’s my duty to impress upon the fact that if you haven’t gone, or you are thinking about it this year that I can unequivocally say it will be worth it
Alex Frankel
Holy Ghost!’s Alex Frankel is dropping his own solo EP and we just got a taste of the first single, the eponymous “Negative Space,” a delicious synthpop affair with a little disco flair. It’s got a killer groove, it bubbles and pops, and will have you chair dancing
Tallest Man on Earth
If there’s one thing Kristian Matsson excels at, it’s writing beautiful songs that seem to swirl around as if being propped up by the lightest wind. New single, “Rivers,” dances in just that way with delicately finger plucked guitar notes, subtle horns surround the sound that paints a
Adam Remnant
In 2011, I wrote lovingly about one of my favorite records of the year titled, Canary, by the Athens OH band Southeast Engine. It was full of wonderfully penned stories about an Appalachian family at the turn of the 20th century. Since 2012 the band has wound down, but with

To say we were excited to experience Black Pistol Fire last week at the Sinclair is an understatement. I’ve certainly experienced their records, but having not seen them, I prepped myself catching a boatload of videos of their live shows. It’s obvious listening to their records the live
joe purdy
If there was ever a stirring song that could shake you to the core, it’s Joe Purdy’s newest, “New Years Eve.” Written as a reflection of the year past, and looking to the future, it’s a shining example of pure optimism in songwriting form, and I’ll
Whitney
The beauty of a short song is they are usually packed in with a really tight hook. That’s definitely the case with Whitney’s newest single, “No Matter Where We Go,” a near insatiably repeatable song that is the perfect sound for the incoming summer months. This song is
