A new week. This month finds your intrepid music blogger finishing up his tenth year of featuring great music without limits.
This week, I begin to tentatively venture out into this strange new landscape - with some events planned.
Next up - Part 2 of our Feat. Friday Playlist Recap and below the jump - our weekly Music City Monday shuffle...
Featured Friday Playlist recap Part 2 (songs 13-22):
13. "Say Something" by Emma-Jean Thackery
Up first today is the new single from London based bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer Emma-Jean Thackery from her forthcoming album Yellow (due in July). Fantastic music.
14. "Treading Water" by Charm of Finches
Next up, we have the new single from this Australian electric chamber indie folk sister duo. The lovely track tackles complex emotions.
15. "The Faded Ones" by Ben DeHan
Next up, we have the recent single from this Maryland based artist. Check it out!
16. "Welcome to the Big Top" by The Rose Petals
We previously featured an earlier single - but American Grenadine is out now from this West Coast duo of Elijah Ocean and Peter Donovan. Great tunes.
17. "Wasteland" by Tim Kile
Austin based singer-songwriter just released his debut solo album These Things Are Being Gathered for The Fire. Kile was a founding member of Arcade Fire and of the band Wild Light. Really dig this new music.
18. "And the Lights Went out All over Town" by Modesty Blaise
We continue coverage of the The Modesty Blaise - the first album in 20 years from this UK band. This is the latest single from that album, and it is a fresh slice of classic 90s British indie pop. A great song.
19. "Everything She Touches Is Gold to Me" by Said the Whale
Next up, we have the release from songs written during 2020s break from 14 years of constant touring by this band who are based out of Vancouver B.C. A wonderful love song.
20. "Stranger Among Friends" by Distant Voices
We have the latest single from an album we have been covering for a while - London based Distant Voices released their debut album Long Road to Home back in March. It is great to be able to feature more from this excellent album.
21. "What Did the Music Sound Like" by Lea Thomas
Lea Thomas is Japanese American singer-songwriter who was born is Hawaii and is now based out of Brooklyn. This is her latest single, and I love it.
22. "Burst Through the Borders" by Caulbearers
And we close out this segment of music with the latest from Manchester based Caulbearers - who formed in 2007. This is a worthy addition to the rich musical heritage of the UK city.
