Jensen Sportag – “One Lane Lover”

If you didn’t hear Jensen Sportag’s last full-length release, Stealth of Days, you may not realize they’ve been moving into a territory that feels like it cops some very distinct 80’s production values.

There’s also the […]

Jordan Lehning – Jordan Sings It’s tough to buy an album these days – with all the free streaming options and preview widgets floating around the Internets, who would buy an album, amirite? I implore you to make an exception for Jordan Lehning’s Jordan Sings. If you like harmonies, pop music heavily drenched in Beatles influence, a […]

dianaleezadlo: Idle Bloom last night at their first show in Nashville. Stoked to see what these good humans do next. It was too much fun traveling with Olivia and Katie in their band before this, Fancytramp, so much respect to those ladies.
