This is a great album for all men who are curious about women’s feelings and don’t wanna hear it version: two girls on their way to the nail salon holding oat milk matcha lattes and having endless hypothetical discussions together. Maren Morris sings for everyone, and as you would want to...
I hope you play the whole album around sunset right at the beginning of rainfall because this album is meant to be listened to. Or not. Maybe you’re the type of person who listens to an album while you’re cooking dinner. Maybe you have a long commute. Maybe it’s just...

Title: In Alpha Zones Artist: AA Wallace Record Label: Culvert Music Date:
January 2016 In one word: Feel AA Wallace is full of neon lights and nylon jackets. Just a bunch of people who get home from the Michael Jackson virtual concert and decide to go glow in the dark roller-skating. It sounds...
Title: Ante Meridiem Artist: Alanna Matty Record Label: Independent Date:
August 2014 In One Word: Evolved In this generation it seems as if there’s one criterion in which a solo musician lacks. The rawness and pureness of a smooth single acoustic guitar set is always soothing to the ear; however, experimenting...
