You Are Not a Stranger Out October 18 Via Loose

 Mellow Dad rock, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong wit-it.

Quiet in a World Full of Noise Out October 4 Via Merger Records

A chill one to unwind to or reflect with.

 

Total Tommy – Real

A bit poppy for our tastes but sorta infectious at the same time.

 

Fucked Up – Another Day

This song is primarily about cannabis and as such puts its thumb on the scale of publicity tipping said scale.

 

Caleb Landry Jones – Hey Gary

Hey Gary, Hey Dawn Digital Deluxe Out September 13 Via Sacred Bones Records

Great vocal/music matchup. Short and sweet too.

Bent Out October 14 Via Blue Grape Music
