Juliana Hatfield :: Blood
Hatfield’s relentless output is given some inventive production, and I have to pause to carefully listen. There’s a lot to unpack, sonically and lyrically, and it refuses to fade into the background.
Shook Twins :: Some Good Lives
Solid songs that mix a generous dollop of traditional country elements with a big scoop of indie pop.
Waxahatchee :: Out In The Storm
A bold performance from Katie Crutchfield, who bares her heart and rips her chords out in a cathartic explosion that eventually winds down into a somber mood.
YACHT :: New Release
YACHT dropped out of sight right before the whole "yacht rock" revival thing happened, but this release reinforces the band's penchant for commenting on current themes with the musical equivalent of wearing sunglasses inside the nightclub.
