2017 is almost over! Here were our favorite albums! What were yours?

Overcoats’ latest release (who else is jumping up and down?!), is their pop-iest beat to date. And we are so here for it. [Read more]

Major and minor chords weave along a path lined by trees bursting with red and orange leaves in Night Flight’s “Death Rattle.” [Read more]

You Have No Idea, Man is a record that was made in the dead of winter in Eau Claire, Wisconsin by two brothers who now live on opposite sides of the country. In those moments spent together, the brothers have created a piece of work to assuage the frigidness of the outside, drawing from the warmth of acoustic guitars, shimmering synths and reflections upon love that has come and gone.

This release off of Bully’s sophomore album, Losing, is not hard to identify with. The drums in this song lay down a foundation, perfectly mirroring Bognanno as she ebbs between gentle verses tip-toeing around the topic, and choruses riddled with gravel, grit and the pain that comes with accepting circumstances as they are. [Read more]

There’s a moment at the end of Kat Cunning’s stunning debut single, “Baby,” when the slowly built layers of engrossing production spin off of Cunning’s voice, exposing her dry vocal. The effect is similar to being pulled out of a party right as it is taking off, and equally as jilting. “Take me home,” she intones. “I forgot my keys again.” [Read more]

This new version [of Plastic] serves as one of the more simplistic songs on the album, featuring just a fingerpicked electric guitar, a synth and Sumney’s captivating voice. [Read more]

Nashville-based Liza Anne Odachowski, better known as Liza Anne strips the covers away from mental illness in her newest single “Paranoia.” Addressing anxiety and themes of unworthiness and unwantedness, Liza Anne explores the underbelly of our fears and pulls them to the surface. [Read more]

Over a glittering music box and with an intimate vocal similar to that of Maggie Rogers, Pearla compares her journey to that of a ship “thrown from wave to wave at the moon’s discretion.” Each verse laments a loss of control over the childlike hope needed to propel ourselves into a future of our own making.

Noah McBeth, better known as NoMBe, has been releasing a song a month from his album They Might’ve Even Loved Me since January, and we have just received one of its most tender and stripped-down cuts. [Read more]

“Sucker/Saint” is the second single this fall from the Los Angeles indie rock band, Sego. The song is filled with grungy guitars, energetic shakers and a vocal that’s loaded with both angst and acceptance. [Read more]

We are stoked to share the music video for “River Days,” the second track off of Minor Poet’s newly released album, And How! Based out of Richmond, Virginia, the band’s influences range from The Beach Boys to Magnetic Fields to create a psych pop sound that complements their existential lyricism. [Read more]

Award-winning Manchester band Everything Everything is currently on a mini-tour to follow up the release of their album A Fever Dream. We asked them which songs meant the most to them, and here is what they gave us. [Read more] 

Former indie-folk now alt-rock singer-songwriter Noah Gundersen, just released his long-awaited third full-length album White Noise, to fans curious to hear his new sound. Many were pleased to see that even with his departure from quieter-folk songs to more cranked up rock-and-roll jams, the feeling and authenticity of Noah Gundersen is still heard all over the album. [Read more]

Brother Brother’s single “Novocaine,” starts with a bang. Energetic and fearless, the track takes an uplifting attitude to a “this won’t last forever” message. [Read more]

There’s something about the twangy, folk and Americana inspired sounds of Twain’s music that calls to mind a chilly night spent somewhere in the mountains, probably by a campfire, most definitely removed from the hectic rush of everyday life. It takes us back to a simpler time — a time that may only exist as a dream or a feeling, but that Twain comes pretty close to bringing into reality. [Read more]
