I looooove the way that Quiet House’s self titled album opens. “Evening Hymn” is an absolutely breathtaking song. I would love an entire album of gentle hymnic, harmonious, a capella melodies like this, please. The whole album is pretty sweet, though. It sounds …

Album Review: AM and Shawn Lee’s “Outlines”–Futuristic Soul Music
Ok, so these guys are cool. Their sound is really great, but here’s the really neat them about AM and Shawn Lee—they don’t record together. They just send the songs back and forth between LA and London until they’re perfect. They have some …
Album Check: Chris Marshall and the August Light–Some Kind of Dream
I was a runner in highschool but then I had a knee injury and a hip injury from running, from dance. I’m still really active. I do ballet, yoga, hike, pilates but I don’t run. Not much makes me feel like running. I …
Kate’s Top Albums–2015
Here’s the good stuff, kids. In no particular order (unless indicated), these are my favorite new albums I have listened to this year. Morgan Mecaskey’s “Lover Less Wild” Morgan has a gorgeous, divergent, smokey voice and a bluesy, rock and roll style. She …

One of my favorite musicians has gifted the world with more beautiful music. Ashley Raines’ latest EP covers songs from artists like The Kinks, Wilco, and Bob Dylan. Before you write this off as another cover album, hear me out–this EP is a …

Calgary James–Bay Cruisin’
It’s sunny and gorgeous here in Cleveland today. I know that most of the people on the internet think that daylight savings is a meaningless, worthless, and outdated construct but gaining that hour this weekend has seemingly brought me new life. As it …
Album Review: Bearcoon–El Guapo
These songs are the black and white polaroids you find in a basket in an antique store. The ones that are captivating enough to grab your attention, to make you wonder, “Who has touched this before me? What happened to it that it’s …
Album Review: Seneca and the River EP
I just got back from some time in the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. We were fortunate enough to be able to attend the most lovely wedding. I’d never been there despite growing up only a couple of hours away. I didn’t expect it to …
Album Review: Poema– “Pretty Speeches”–strong, loamy girl-pop.
Poema is a sister band which is powerful. I love sister bands. Ella and Shaeleen grew up in New Mexico and have been working, playing, and surviving with each other all over the country since they were small ones. They semi-recently moved to …
