You Got Me Mixed Up With That Bottle by SANDY KING is an alternative take on the classic country trope of hard liquor and enigmatic fun.

Siren´s Lullaby by ELECTRIC HIGH delivers a spaced-out yet tense alt-rock sound. It’s clear ELECTRIC HIGH went into this track with a specific vision, and they’ve delivered from start to finish. The track’s mood ebbs and flows throughout the verses and choruses. It feels most tense during the verses leading to this climax of energy […]
Voice Of One Crying In The Wilderness by VALLEY OF SALT is a beautiful concept album twisting and turning from country to prog rock to folk.

With roots in electronic disco and a vintage eighties-inspired sound, this track combines its influences to create a tune that suits the dancefloor as well as it does a long road trip.
