“Far Off Summer's Night” - MAHUNA
Mahuna doesn’t so much write songs as he exhumes memories and lets them flicker into melody. His new single “Far-Off Summer’s Night” is a perfect example: an intimate, ghostly lament lifted from his debut album Forever Is Mine—a record already praised for its lyrical tenderness and sonic weight. But here, stripped down to twilight and shadow, Mahuna reaches for something even more fragile.
“Ripples of the Past” - Ray Curenton
Ray Curenton’s Ripples of the Past is one of those rare albums that sneaks up on you—not with bombast or flashy production, but with a quiet kind of gravity. It’s an intimate project that feels less like an album you press play on and more like a conversation you fall into with an old friend who’s suddenly willing to tell you the real story. Out September 12, this is Curenton’s first full-length foray into indie folk, and it already feels like a defining moment in his career.
“Hey Mary (Play a Song for Me)” - Robin James Hurt
Robin James Hurt has always been a master of stitching stories into sound, and with “Hey Mary (Play a Song for Me)” he’s turned his gaze toward one of Dublin’s unsung heroes—the kind of street legend who makes Grafton Street more than just a shopping thoroughfare, but a living, breathing stage. Máire Begley’s name might not be familiar to everyone outside of Ireland, but if you’ve ever walked past Bewley’s Café and felt the air lift with her music, you know exactly why Hurt felt compelled to capture her spirit in song.
“Potholes” - Moss Henry
If you’ve ever been on the road long enough to feel both free and completely wrecked at the same time, Moss Henry’s new single “Potholes” is going to hit you right in the chest. This is a road song, sure—but it’s also a love song, a homesick prayer, and a wry bit of storytelling wrapped up in under four minutes.
“To Grow Old” - Amy-Lin Slezak
Amy-Lin Slezak is back — and she’s not holding back. Her second single, “To Grow Old”, is a rallying cry wrapped in country-pop brilliance, a bold follow-up to her debut “How Dare She” that solidifies her voice as a necessary one in today’s musical landscape — especially for women who are tired of being told to shrink, smile, and stay young forever.
“Stay On The Road” - Towse
Every once in a while, a song lands in your lap that feels like a time capsule, a diary entry, and a summer road trip all at once. Towse’s latest single, Stay On The Road, is exactly that—a foot-stomping, heart-thumping folk-pop gem that bursts with nostalgia, wanderlust, and a whole lot of love. If you’ve ever been in a relationship that was chaotic, spontaneous, beautifully imperfect, and somehow exactly what you needed, this song will hit home.
Couple(t)s - Couldn't Be Happiers
There’s something instantly charming — and deceptively complex — about Couple(t)s, the sophomore album by North Carolina folk-rock duo Couldn’t Be Happiers. On first listen, it’s easy to get swept up in the earworm harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and the sheer likability of the married couple at the heart of it all: Jodi Hildebran Lee and Jordan Crosby Lee. But spend a little more time with this 12-track record, and you’ll find a rich, poetic tapestry that digs deep into protest, folklore, and love — the three pillars that hold this project up.
“Be Kind With My Heart” - Staci Gruber
Staci Gruber is not your average singer-songwriter. She’s a Harvard neuroscientist, a seasoned GB band lead vocalist, and now, with her latest release “Be Kind With My Heart,” she’s stepping into the Americana spotlight like she was born there, guitar in hand, heart on sleeve.
“Western Soul” - Todd Adelman
There’s something timeless and a little bit haunted about Todd Adelman’s upcoming album Western Soul. Not haunted in a spooky sense—more like it’s inhabited by ghosts of all the great American songwriters who came before. It’s a fourteen-track truth serum for a country that's a little busted up right now but still has soul, grit, and stories worth telling. This record doesn’t scream or preach. It listens. It watches. Then it leans in and whispers the real stuff straight from the gut.
"Cold Hard Bliss" - Spyderhuff
It’s golden hour. You and your partner are cruising down a dusty two-lane road in an old station wagon. You’re not saying much, but the silence is full of history. That is the atmosphere of Spyderhuff’s new single, "Cold Hard Bliss."
“Walk With Me Through the Fire” - The Curse of K.K. Hammond
If The Curse of K.K. Hammond wasn’t already on your radar as one of the most unique voices in modern blues, her latest single, “Walk With Me Through the Fire,” is about to change that. Released on March 21, 2025, this track is a slow-burning, foot-stomping journey through the dark heart of Delta Blues, infused with spaghetti western grandeur, gothic mystique, and a cinematic intensity.
