Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Dead to the World – Music Stream

August 22, 2023

Noel uses his hazy, high-pitched vocals as an instrument on the song. A little sophisticated beauty from a man not necessarily known for it.

Alain Johannes – Hallowed Bones – Music Stream

September 3, 2020

“Hallowed Bones” is perhaps the most similar to Eleven’s output in the ’90s, and therefore a fave of mine.

Gin Wigmore – Feels Like Me – Music Stream

August 17, 2020

Randy Newman’s bouncy piano work and raspy, optimistic female vocals feel like the first sip of coffee in the morning or a cool breeze coming across the park.

Blitzen Trapper – Ever Loved Once – Music Stream

December 31, 2013

Seventh full-length. And the music, heard here on “Ever Loved Once,” is just as straightforward and unpretentious, with a confident alt.country swagger.

Rogue Wave – College – Music Stream

December 9, 2013

“College” is appropriately-named. Rogue Wave offer up a 101-level anthem for awkward, nervous late-teens.
