Their ten song outing Sharp Divide covers an impressive breadth of sound while remaining internally consistent and tied together by unity of sound and themes. Lead singer Logan Andra Fongemie and guitarist Sean Hogan are the primary creative movers behind the project, but they are ably accompanied by a powerhouse rhythm section of bassist Preston Saari and drummer Mitch Billings. The rhythm section makes it presence felt on every song but, ultimately, the heart of the album lies with the conceptual and music...

Where the Light Bends’ six tracks are anchored by a defined point of view frequently verging on the poetic and demonstrating the same stellar production values courtesy of Stephen Leiweke that embodied the latter’s work on Birdsong’s debut. Birdsong doesn’t just have an unique flair with music and lyrics alike; there’s a genuine likability and charisma coming across through these songs that helps make them an even more pleasing listening experience than they would be otherwise.

Rarely are young writers and performers so fully formed in their artistic vision as theirs an obvious unity in her musical and lyrical presentation alike missing from other performers in her stylistic range. EZLA definitely embraces a recognizable electronic sound, but there are a variety of instruments making their presence felt throughout the course of this five song EP and she consistently manipulates seemingly conventional structures into vehicles for her own highly individual use. In this age where traditional gatekeepers of music have fallen, EZLA has managed to amass tens of thousands Spotify streams of her music, so she’s established a connection with an ever increasing audience ...

Tribute albums aren’t nearly as common as they once were and it is difficult to recall a single instance of a musical performer who debuted with one. Austin Carson, otherwise known as YYY, isn’t your typical performer however. Minneapolis based Carson has an all-encompassing musical vision that irrepressibly imposes itself on the iconic album’s fourteen songs and he further augments the effort by putting a cadre of local indie musicians and singers to work in guest star roles throughout the release. The production is very good and, despite the predominance of electronic textures in these reinterpretations, Carson calls upon a wide variety of instruments to help realize this album. One cannot accuse Carson of aiming low with his object of veneration. YYY tackles, with this release, one...
