The January Lanterns – “the kid that wrecked it all”
-The narrative of this song is really interesting. I have half a mind to say I won’t write anything and you can just listen to the words. If you’ve ever been self conscious about your life, you will relate to the lyrics for sure. The atmospheric work creates just enough depth to allow the guitar to pop in the mix. The combination makes it so that the vocal narrative is nestled perfectly in a comfortable middle space. Just gently close your eyes and listen, open to the main idea and connect. It’s worth your time.
Olive Klug – “Casting spells”
-There’s a gentle softness about this track that I really appreciate. Klug writes with a sweet, intelligent precision. The whimsical style of the acoustic does a nice job of allowing the message to come through. The whistle solo is wonderful. The subtle harmonies are one of my favorite parts of the song, allowing for the sweetness of the song to really feel comfortable. This is perfect for an easy going acoustic playlist.
Victoria Staff – “Olive and Ruby”
-If you’re a musician, when you hear this song your brain will say, “123, 456” in the background. It’s okay, the timing is a big part of what creates the sense of movement in the song. It’s a cool, engaging style of folk singer songwriter work that we’re happy to support. The sweet, relatable lyrics make intimate connections feel so ordinary and relatable. This one is perfect for a coffeeshop or just a chill folk playlist. It’s beautifully nostalgic in all the right ways.
