Single: Evan Fox – Machine

This track infuses Fox’s bedroom folk stylings with spacious indie-pop arrangements and an edge of lo-fi grit to create a beautiful, moving piece of music in the vein of Sun Kil Moon and Nick Drake.

Single: Ellen Birath – Safe Hands

An unpretentious love song, declaimed by such a gentle voice of Ellen Birath. A catchy refrain wraps the melody in circles, while in conversation with the vocals, a jazzy-touch is omnipresent in this well produced piece.

Single: Bad Western – Countdown

Frankly, this is current indie music at its best: it breathes; it applies tasteful effects to the guitars without being showy; it provides plenty of changes without coming across as pretentious.
