Silence – Grace Carter
The smooth piece is played over simple piano chords and slow-mid tempo beats. It’s a powerful track that showcases Carter’s strong and rich vocals while featuring emotively honest musings that will make you an instant fan of hers.
Dissociation – Ajuni
“Dissociation,” the second career single by Indian singer/songwriter/pianist, Ajuni (Anupreet Kaur), is truly moving and thought-provoking. The artist characterizes the record as “a dark, stormy, dramatic ballad, and a melodic fusion of east and west.”
Broad Rock – Butcher Brown
The latest from #KingButch is a tactful type of funk. The grasp on their own sound is evident.
Nantes – Beirut
It’s been a long time since I’ve done a lot of things. It’s interesting to see life as a series of past events and then finally accepting it as the here and now.
Blue & Grey – BTS (방탄소년단)
Forgive me for putting the lyrics of the whole song, since each sentence pokes my heart deeply! Wandering between instruments and human voices, between singing and rap, between melody and lyrics, between disappearance and reappearance, my thoughts have also become blue and gray, uneasy and melancholic. While the song is over, the feeling of lost and endless aftertaste comes into mind…
We Will Burn – Monolord
What stands out about this one is the riff and groove that closes out the last two minutes, just plodding and pulsing in stoner glory. When I talk to someone about heavy, this is what I’m talking about.
Save Myself – Ashe
Ashlyn Rae Willson, known as Ashe, is a wonderful American singer and songwriter from California. Her sentimental voice and beautiful songwriting are heart-touching.
0594 Help – Haich Ber Na
The electronic elements, along with the strong baseline are evidence of the constant efforts this artist puts in to push the envelope and create something new.
Hold On -East Forest
Hold on feels like the best advice we can manage just now as we ride out the turn of the year and in the midst of a storm that is yet to calm.
Chase It- Kosher, Eerf Evil & Joe Beard
Remember, it’s all about the journey, pace it.
Techno – John Scofield
The year was 1986 and it was this song Techno that turned me on to John Scofield, as it appeared on an acetate floppy record that came in an issue of Guitar Player magazine. For those of you who remember, this was standard fair every month in the magazine. It was great way of being turned on to new guitarists in those days-way before the internet, email, Instagram and all of the other geeky nonsense we have today…
Pressure Vessels
This is a bit of a mess of a piece. Think of it as a stream of consciousness, an examination of the pieces of thoughts that lie scattered about the ol’ mindscape.
