Simone Felice
[H]aving spent time with the Lumineers over the summer, we’re now seeing some collaboration on Simone Felice’s new single “Molly O!” as Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites of The Lumineers, have lent a hand on this track with additional vocals. The song marks the difficulty in lost
Natural Child
[A]ffectionately being called Natty Child, dusty 70s era rockers Natural Child just released this perfect jam titled “Saturday Night Blues,” a tune I’m quickly falling in love with. It’s the perfect jam to sit with a six-pack of cheap beer and drink your lonely Saturday night away.
Mutual Benefit
[D]esigned as a nebulous sonic canvas, Mutual Benefit, the brain child of Ohio, Austin, Boston, Brooklyn journeyman Jordan Lee, creates pop tunes that showcase a fragility, translucency, a sort of blurring that is ever ornamented with lush sounds of keys, guitar, violin, and homemade percussions. It’s warm, hopeful
Shovels & Rope
[I] was lucky enough to be exposed to Shovels & Rope’s original record years ago, when Michael and Cary Ann had first recorded it, a record I quickly fell in love with, and just couldn’t grasp why a million people weren’t listening to it. I’m so

Jamestown Revival

Probably not, but make room for another one, and one that sounds like it might just capture some hearts and ears. With a Lumineers’ rambling, plodding folk sound, Jamestown Revival has a
Peggy Sue
[P]eggy Sue’s follow up to their acclaimed 2011 effort, Acrobats, titled Choir of Echoes, to be released by Wichita Recordings and Yep Roc Records at the start of 2014. The first single, is the moody, “Idle,” a slow burning song bookended by prayer-like moments that give off a
The Bynars
[I]t seems as though our local pals, the Bynars have been doing some growing up, and their music is really exploring further and further the soundscapes of experimental synth. Their new track is really grabbing me, with its subtle ambient sounds, emotive lyrics and a major sense of loneliness.
we are scientists
[T]he opening riff to this song reminds me totally of Wolfmother’s “the Joker & The Thief,” but what we have here is a blistering tune from We Are Scientists off of their upcoming Business Casual EP, out 10/14. The guitars are huge, the song flies at an
