Alice Costelloe - Move On With This Year
A delightful, urbane indie rock record that feels like a spiritual successor to Julia Holter’s incredible 2015 LP Have You In My Wilderness.
Barry Walker Jr. - Paleo Sol
An indie rock lifer and geologist leads his band through a bunch of thoughtful pedal steel instrumentals.

cootie catcher - Something We All Got
There are few bands that have been featured on this web site more than cootie catcher, and for good reason! Their new LP is twee excellence infused with a charming DIY imperfection, indie pop firing on all cylinders, this one deserves way more attention.

Del Paxton - Dogeared
Three cleverly arranged, lyrically opaque bangers that push the boundaries of whatever wave of emo we’re in.

Fabiano Do Nascimento & Vittor Santos Orchestra - Vila
They made an album to score to your next tropical vacation; lush, cosmopolitan stuff from start to finish.
Pullman - III
A long dormant experimental supergroup/studio project returns to show latecomers to the whole “cosmic Americana” thing how it’s done. Organic textures and acoustic instrumentation subtly manipulated in mind-expanding ways.

Grace Ives - Girlfriend
Every year there’s a handful of pop records weird enough to sink their claws in me and this year this is one of those. Unselfconscious, exuberant, confidently messy.

One Wheel Fireworks Show - Jason, eternal
While we are rapidly approaching critical mass as far as Americana-influenced indie rock that prominently features the pedal steel, the One Wheel Fireworks Show has hit a buzzer beater with Jason, eternal.

Sluice - Companion
Brainy, referential indie folk featuring some of my favorite songwriting of the year.

Star Moles - Highway to Hell
I can’t stop listening to this record, it’s intimate, warm, and full of personality. There’s a whole universe hinted at by prolific Bandcamp savant Emily Moales’ self-aware lyrics.

True Green - Hail Disaster
Some real slam dunk stuff happening over on the new True Green record: lovingly rendered character sketches, extended thematic riffs, and gutpunch one-liners delivered with a deadpan sincerity. In a world full of dollar store David Bermans, Dan Hornsby’s the real deal!
