REVIEW: Honestly, this is one of the best albums I've heard this year. On A Rising Tide, Jennie Arnau gives us stories about people muddling through, and trying to keep their light shining – and they're told with a breathtakingly wide imagination.

ALBUM REVIEW: NORA. claps back with a powerful breakup EP on Just Words. The big pop sounds on here match NORA.'s righteous fury – and they are definitely bangers. However, it's the softer songs that caught my ears.

ALBUM REVIEW: The Bootstrap Boys have never sounded better -- or bleaker -- on their recent album Some Boots. The tension between devil-may-care-defiance and existential angst may just be the molten core that keeps country music rotating.

REVIEW: Jennifer Vena Wood (@jvw) recorded her latest EP, The No Spoons Sessions, as she recovered from treatments for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The songs are perfectly imperfect, balancing Wood's mastery of guitar and lyrics with her all-too-human limitations. This is an EP that showcases the determination of the human spirit.
