Say what you will about Kings of Leon, but their first two records are A+’s in my book.

weekly rec: the cave singers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTmmOKYjUAU I was recently reminded how great The Cave Singer‘s 2009 sophomore release, Welcome Joy, is. Here’s one of my favorite tracks.
weekly rec: josh ritter
Josh Ritter has been a prolific songwriter over the last two decades. Here’s a favorite off his 2007 release, The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter.
weekly rec: feist
I revisited Feist‘s 2011 release, Metals, yesterday. Unfortunately, I’ve overlooked her last two releases, but this tune, “Anti-Pioneer,” is by far one of my all time favorites.
weekly rec: josin
I was introduced to the new JOSIN release, In The Blank Space, last week. Boy oh boy, is it good.
weekly rec: sugar candy mountain
I first discovered Sugar Candy Mountain, with last year’s release, Do Right; however, only recently have given their 2016 release, 666, a spin. Here’s the excellent, psych pop title track.
weekly rec: r beny
The music of Austin Cairns a.k.a. r beny has been a recent discovery. His latest release, Echo’s Verse, is definitely on my Favs of 2019 (so far) list.
weekly rec: apollo sunshine
Apollo Sunshine‘s 2005 self-titled sophomore release was one of my college indie rock staples. Surprisingly, I just realized that Sam Cohen, who just released a new record and toured with Kevin Morby, was a founding member.
weekly rec: the 1900s
The 1900s are a solid Chicago based group, whom unfortunately went on hiatus nearly a decade ago. Rumor has it that they’ve been working on new songs, though. Here’s a cool one off their 2007 release, Cold & Kind.
weekly rec: cale tyson
Gia Margaret introduced me to the music of Cale Tyson, a few weeks back. Definitely a big fan of his latest EP, Narcissist.
