“Kindergarten” by emmersonHall and fanclubwallet is a mellow tune with lots of bells and whistles to accompany a very deep rhythmic organic texture that I can only assume is a baritone guitar but could be wrong. The way the track slowly builds to itself is endearing and with a title like “Kindergarten” the track is quite nostalgic.
“Bridge to Eden” by Bjorn Rydhog is a gorgeous synthetic atmospheric track all about escapism. Gorgeous guitar work accompanies a very sensual track.
“Jacob’s Ladder” by The Band of Us is an Americana tune featuring gorgeous vocals and sweet organic tracks. Lyrically following a coming-of-age story and small-town life “Jacob’s Ladder” makes me nostalgic for the heartland and countryside. What an incredible debut from The Band of Us.
“Toil and Trouble” by Angelo De Augustine is a psychedelic song that is reminiscent of the tune “Scarlett Begonias” but only the down section. This gorgeous and nostalgic tune features a wide variety of layers including familiar singer-songwriter layers but also what sounds like marimba playing soft rhythmic accents.
“The By & By” by Nathaniel Riley is a gentle and sweet tune that features gorgeously performed vocals that have a ton of feel. It’s the most romantic and sentimental country sound.
“Wish I Was” by M. Byrd is a deep and atmospheric tune that features droning chords and a percussion performance that really utilizes the snare tastefully to support a soft vocal performance. Stick around for the lovely slide playing.
“Fly Right” by Oliver Hazard and Olive Klug is a wonderful duet with a very minimalistic arrangement. The harmonic qualities rise with the tune and “Fly Right” is not to be overlooked. Wonderful use of modal interchange in this.
