You know the drill - I am running short on time and a ton of music to get to today.. or no further ado... 

Featured Friday Playlist recap Part 4 (songs 23-28):




23. "Flute In Da Hood" by Ambulance On Fire
First up, we have the opening track from the debut EP by this Lithuanian alternative electroacoustic folk duo.  A really fascinated release worthy of your attention.  
24. "Hole In My Heart" by The Low Countries
Next up, we have the lead track from a new EP from UK band The Low Countries - some really lovely UK folk pop with a murky back story and a great sound. 
25. "Mr. Wolf" by Hans Deville (feat. Andrew J. Davis)
Next up, we have the second single from the forthcoming Prophecies of the Lost (due out in August) from the lock-down album of the guitarist of the UK band King Prawn. Great stuff. 
26. "Infernal Heads" by CULT OF DOM KELLER
Latest single from the experimental rock group that formed in 2007. With elements of industrial and psych. I dig this.  
27. "I Better Run" by Napoleon (feat. Shane Told)
Next up, we have the new single from Toronto based alt-punk band Napoleon.  This track features Shane Told of Silverstein. Fast and noisy just the way I like it. 
28. "Moebius" by Trio Nilo
And, we close out this section of music with a new single from this Spanish progressive jazz - a wonderful instrumental track and a great way to take us out of the playlist for today.

We close things out with the release of Stripes from French-born, London duo Zebrah.  We previously featured their firsts single back in April.  A great band to close out this portion of the shuffle!

E2TG 5/21/2021 - Featured Friday - Under My Skin Mix (Stop for a Minute Remix)



Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!


Can you believe it is Friday?!  Actually, I kind of can... but anyway, it is time for another Featured Friday Playlist.  This week's list is a little smaller (we'll see how it goes but I am thinking about trying to avoid the extra long playlist for the foreseeable future).  But, a lot of that depends on the how much great new music is being released.  And I sure don't want that to slow down.

E2TG 5/20/2021 - Hugs and Beer - Separate Mix (This Ain't Love Remix)



Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!


A bit short on time, I was out last night - seeing people and checking out Mark Robinson Band with John Jackson - which was next level good  and the Brian Wright and the Sneak-Ups with guest Jon Latham.  I realized that both played as part of my 2017 E2TG Residency.  It was such a wonderful and needed night. 

Time to wrap up this week's Featured Friday Playlist.  And we really did save some of the best for last...




35. "Dreaming with Alice - Verse 1" by Mark Fry
This is a reissue of 1971 - sought after psych-folk album which came out just last week on Now-Again Reserve Records.  Tremendous. I didn't know anything about this album or about Mark Fry but I am captivating. Fry was just 19 when this was originally recorded. 
36. "Alive" by Dope Sagittarius

37. "Until When" by Jaffa Road
New single from this Toronto based Jewish roots band.  It is the lead single from an album due out in the fall. 
38. "Shooting Star" by Løwenørn
A new project from our old friend Sverre of Supercrashingstar.  Supercrashingstar has a new album out - which we will feature in the new Playlist premiering tomorrow. 
39. "Sad Girls Club" by I M U R

40. "Accountability" by DeLila Black
Great new punk country single from the UK - with BJ Cole on lap steel guitar. 
41. "Fierce and Delicate Things" by Shay Martin Lovette
And why not close out the playlist with one of the strongest songs on the list. Scatter & Gather is the new album from this North Carolina based singer-songwriter.  Fantastic songs and great sounding music. A wonderful way to close out the week's playlist.
