Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard's "The Shadow Remains" was written from the inside of a survival-mode spiral. Literally, the track captures what it feels like when fear becomes so eerily familiar it starts to feel like furniture!

Damien Cain's "Caleb (JD Radio Edit)" is a piano-driven, pop-rock ballad about memory and loss, followed by a beautifully done male duet.

A Beech Landing's "HERMIT" might just be the perfect listen for people who are addicted to screens.

Fierce Friend's "Make Me Forget You" stands as a breakup song wearing the disguise of a burst of energy which is short-lived, restless, and held together by equal parts guitar momentum and emotional contradiction.

"Firelight" is essentially a heartbreak song, but better. It's about the process after that. Salmikivi captures that specific kind of emotional limbo better than most artists manage in an entire album.

Korda Korder's new release, "Everything You Ever Wanted To Be", begins just as good coming-of-age movies do: with a drumbeat establishing itself, followed by a guitar riff that sounds almost like a remembered melody.
