From time to time we invite befriended artists to reflect on records that have significantly shaped their understanding of music as such. Having just released his eighth studio album with Strand Of Oaks, frontman Tim Showalter felt it too difficult a task pinning down his love for just one specific record and instead decided to muse on the world-building virtue several albums have for him – and pleads a strong case for appreciating albums as a whole.
The hypnotizing "Antares" is opening this week's newcomer selection along with other memorable songs by Pink Lint, Alisa Tully, Matilda Mann, Walt Disco, LIN, Cats On Trees and more. Feel kindly invited to discover them.
