Librarian’s Picks

 


Sex Week
Upper Mezzanine EP [Grand Jury]
New York, NY        Rock/Pop
Cool indie rock with a spacey feel


Total Wife
Come Back Down [Julia’s War]
Nashville, TN         Rock/Pop
Warped, rough rock

LAST WEEK
 


The Cavernous
 – Please Hold [Beaverhill County]
Saskatoon, SK          Electronic
Bedroom electronic/ambient duo creates a call-in album (1-877-420-9159 to listen) of lofi beats, eerie downtempo and ambient electronica in the frame of the experience of being on hold. It leans into the cheesiness of the genre and sometimes explicitly pokes fun.
 


Joey Waronker & Pete Min
 – King King [Colorfield]
Los Angeles, CA        Jazz
Interesting jazz, nice sound


Far Caspian
 – Autofiction [Tiny Library]
Leeds, UK        Rock/Pop
Nostalgic, layered songwriting with a groove.


Dave Soroka
 – Dale Avenue and Off-Leash Heaven [Self-Released]
Carmi, BC         Folk
He mostly talks matter-of-factly about his life in a small town since moving to Carmi, BC over guitar strumming. Seducing, in a way. Reminds me of someone but I can’t put my finger on it.
