Dougie Poole - "The Rainbow Wheel of Death" | Album Review
Recorded live in five days amidst beer and BBQ (according to the liner notes), the songs and characters populating Poole’s latest are full, well-thought and well-executed. His voice sounds better than ever, and though much of the psych tinge of his previous work is gone, he finds himself grounded in a fresh spin on classic Americana.
Jordan Holtz - "Not Close For Comfort" | Album Review
New Hampshire feels particularly positioned as the sort of place that’ll seep into its inhabitants' expression.

Florry - "Sweet Guitar Solos" | Album Review
Sweet Guitar Solos is far from just a stopgap project, and “Cowgirl in a Ditch” is just the first in a handful of worthwhile tracks. The four-song EP is raw and rough alt-country bliss coupled with moments of polished clarity and, as promised, you’ll find some crunchy guitar solos throughout that are, in fact, pretty fucking sweet.
Disheveled Cuss - "Into The Couch" | Album Review
On Into the Couch, the second LP under the Disheveled Cuss moniker, Nick Reinhart continues to stay weird in all the right ways.
