Back to it after a very nice weekend. 

Featured Friday recap Part 2 (Songs 12-18):

12. "My Father Took Me Everywhere" by Chris Connelly & Monica Queen

First up, we have the first single from the ambitious and inspired new album from Chris Connelly (who has worked with Ministry, Revolting Cocks and more). The album - called My Birthday Poems is due out on June 15 and is a fictionalized account of the relationship between Scottish poet George Mackay Brown and his muse Stella Cartwright.

13. "Don't Look Down" by Doug Kistner

Next, we have a solo single from keyboardist Doug Kistner - known for his work with 

Trans-Siberian Orchestra, John Waite, and more. 

14. "Third Street" by Annie Keating

Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Annie Keating just released her new album Bristol County Tides on June 4. This is the lead track from the album. Great stuff. 

15. "Working Man's Dread" by The Contraptionists

Next up, we have the title track from the new album from L.A. based The Contraptionists, who bill themselves as a two-man, one-man band.

16. "Delicate Strong" by Scott Standley

Next up, we have a track from the debut solo album Victoria from this Austin native. The album combines Texas indie with neo-soul. The influences both traditional and modern come from an authentic place, and that shines through on this album. 

17. "Gone" by Desai (feat. Claire Donzelli)

Next up, we have a new single from this sixteen year old singer-songwriter and producer who is based in Washington D.C. Here he teams with fellow indie singer-songwriter Claire Donzelli who a native of Palo Alto, California. The song was written two years ago.

18. "Bewildered" by Ender Bender

And we close with a new single from Rome based, former L.A. resident 

Eddie Olguin who records as Ender Bender.  A great way to take us out of this segment of the playlist.
