WITH BLINDFOLDS ON
CHLOE CHARLES
A fantastically talented
artist from Toronto, Canada,
Chloe Charles draws us in
for a closer look with her
sophomore release, With
Blindfolds On. Her unique,
self-taught fingerpicking
style combine with a voice
silky and soulful to leave one
spellbound and affixed.

APOCALIPSTICK
THE HARPOONIST AND
THE AXE MURDERER
The Harpoonist and the Axe
Murderer continue on their
upward trajectory with new
album Apocalipstick. This time
the B.C.-based duo have added
some soul to their gritty neo
blues/rock, creating another
dimension to their sound.
These two guys manage to
make an album sound like
one hell of a live show.

BODY LANGUAGE
JUNIOR ASTRONOMERS
Junior Astronomers is an
awesome four-piece rock
group from North Carolina
and their second full-length
album, Body Language, is
contemporary and riddled
with goodness. The more I
listen to this record to more I
like it. It’s the perfect backing
track for your summer.

continues to expand his
knowledge of theory
and technique.
YOUNG
OVERCOATS
The debut LP from NYC folksoul
duo Overcoats, Young,
harnesses the closeness
between the two musicians,
allowing for something special
to unfold. They weave
an intricate tapestry in our
minds through bright harmonies
over dark, brooding
electric backgrounds. There
is no getting over an album
this good.

LINGERING
SLEEP PARTY PEOPLE
Sleep Party People is
the brainchild of Danish
multi-instrumentalist Brian
Batz, who writes, records,
and produces everything
SPP. Lingering is his fourth
studio album and it features
some collaborations with
other talented artists. Sleep
Party People are known for
wearing rabbit masks on
stage. Follow them down the
rabbit hole once more.

THE ORDER OF TIME
VALERIE JUNE
Southern belle Valerie June
warms our hearts with
something lost yet familiar.
Her album The Order Of
Time is a time capsule of the
glory days when bluegrass
and country were in their
prime. It makes me smile
every time I listen.
