Brei Carter – “Country Lives In Me” review
Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ I thought I was a country girl for having grown up in the country, and I thought I was a country girl for maladaptively daydreaming about fleeing the city on a bicycle and settling somewhere in the sunny meadows of rural Greece… But alas, here we have a country girl who not… Read more

Dusty Edinger – “Welcome to Our Demise” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ Dusty… Dusty, Dusty, Dusty. I love your stuff, man, I really do. This was a great song (as I will briefly attempt to demonstrate, though it really does speak for itself), but why does the cover have to be AI-generated?

The Heard Eye – “Point of You” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ Now this right here, this is funky, alright. I previously tackled The Heard Eye in a review of their “Plenty Love,” and one thing about their – objectively pretty groovy – work that I found plenty disappointing was the relative lack of funk. Sobriety in sound is a-okay, but it is not… Read more

Logan Metz – “Sunrise/Overrated” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ By now, it would be no stretch of imagination to call me a person easily amused.
