Leggy - "Leggy" | Album Review
Leggy’s iridescent debut full-length release is a careful compilation of three previously released EPs plus one new song, “Kick the Habit.” Resulting in a crushing 37-minute narrative of self-love and unrequited (and sometimes overly-requited) romance, Leggy props up the common mid-twenties feeling of emotional confusion.

Eric Schermerhorn - "Flowers Now Dry" | Album Review
Written and recorded in the months leading up to his son’s birth, the album is a beautiful discussion of grief, pain, and loss. Sage Schermerhorn, born March 31, 2016, died June 25 from a Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation. His legacy lives on in this album, where Eric works to figure out his new identity as a father with only the memory of his son.
Nots - "Cosmetic" | Album Review
Squirrel Flower - "Contact Sports" | Album Review
Coaster - "Deuces" | Album Review
What makes Coaster a great band, what makes them true to themselves, at least, is that just as much as they lyrically own the contradictory purposes of making music, more importantly, they also own—and have really perfected on this record—their unabashedly goofy, sometimes haywire, sometimes tight-wire, guitar-rock.
