"My Fault" is Durango Blue at their most deceptively simple! The song moves with a funky acoustic groove around it alongside Paul's steel guitar curling around the edges.

If this is your first run-in with Alien Friend's world, "Happy People Won't Hear (Album Version)" is a perfect place to start.

Vemalo's "Sense of Home" is about searching for somewhere you feel safe, loved, and held. It may be a place, or a person, who just feels like home, you know?

The Rickenbacker guitar work in Franklin Gotham's latest release, "Lisboa", truly steals the show here.

Fierce Friend's "Put You Right" arrives with a driving guitar lick, layered against sharp synth textures. The arrangement does what Grice does best: it feels bright on the surface and a little unstable underneath.

Deportee's 'Black Women Are Not Cheap' is that rare kind of song where the message and the music stands a irrefusable statement.

GISKE's "August Came" is a gorgeous piece of jangle-pop that wears its inspirations proudly on its sleeve.

I'll be honest. I didn't expect to still be thinking about this record three days after I first heard it.
