Loves It! on YAY!

Loves It! on YAY!
Loves It! is Vaughn Walters and Jenny Parrott and last month they released an album titled YAY!  The result is a fun listen of folky often upbeat acoustic ruminations on loving & touching, Bobby Kennedy, dinosaurs, and other perhaps more reflective matters.

Listen to “My So Called Life”

The Valery Trails:: Ghosts And Gravity

The Valery Trails:: Ghosts And Gravity
Another album I’ve been playing lately is The Valery Trails’ debut Ghosts And Gravity, set for release on February 7th. Overall Ghosts And Gravity is an enticing work of mid-fi melodics done up in a grey backdrop of fuzz and jangle topped with skimming vocals. Most importantly the resulting combo of song and sound keeps my attention to the end.  Make your own opinion up with a listen below.

Listen to “Horizon” and watch the video
