Cabin Ghosts
CORY CHISEL Cabin Ghosts Black Seal Website
Excuse me while I'm about to combine an EP and a show review. It's not out of laziness, really, I just think my thoughts on the EP and the show are better combined. The EP consists of eerily comforting, subdued love songs with no trace of pretense recorded live at Robinwood, his family’s...

Nothing Can Come Between Us
OBI BEST Nothing Can Come Between Us Social Science Recording Website
I heard this song on the radio on my way to work this morning err.. mid morning. It instantly reminds me of a cross between The Bird and The Bee, Feist and Yael Naim. I jotted down the band name (yes, while I'm driving. I live on the edge. Literally.) and looked...

PEPI GINSBERG Red Park the Van Website
A couple of years ago, I learned about Pepi Ginsberg through a (now defunct) WHYME Podcast interview and an impressive recorded acoustic session. With a name like Pepi Ginsberg, a distinct singing voice and an overall charming songs, it's hard not to keep going back and check on her music. So, during...
