DeLange – “Images”-Living in 2020 in the US has had us all dealing with images we never thought we’d see. I’ll leave the politics out of a post about a beautiful song like this, but let’s just say this soothing piano work was …

Unique and Indescribable Thursday Tracks
A Sea of Dead Trees – “Hannah” The slow burning intro into this track is exceptional. We felt a wide array of emotions, contemplated existence, and brimmed with hope all before the sound builds to its final note. A post-rock and shoegaze beauty …
Three unique new singer songwriters

Three fancy new Americana jams
Kathryn Legendre – “One long sad song”-It sort of breaks my heart that a pure country tune like this feels more “Americana” than country in 2020. This song should be a top 10 country song as far as I’m concerned. Legendre’s vocal is …
