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 soulful "Hope You're Good" opens this week's selection of recommendable newcomer tracks which also features songs by Lisa Wanloo, Wildhart, Alexs Grey, Lime Garden, John Alone and others. You are kindly invited to discover some of these.
