Issue #141
Featuring tracks from The Starting Line, Palette Knife, crushed, Mini Trees, Night Moves, Waxahatchee, and Kevin Morby.
Welcome to Issue #141 of Sonic Postcards! The release I am most stoked on this week is the new album, Double Life, from Night Moves.
One of my most memorable concerts is still seeing them in a dorm basement at Grinnell in 2011. An absurdly loud wall of sound that sounded like MGMT with Americana twang came roaring out of nowhere when they opened with Headlights. It was so fucking good. The new album is missing some of that energy but plays through in such a beautiful and cohesive way.
Outside of Night Moves, the track that is getting the most airtime this week is “You Found Me” from Waxahatchee and Kevin Morby. With each new release Katie Crutchfield cements herself further as my favorite artist.
Happy listening.
Looking for new music? Love art? Every week I create a short, five track playlist of the songs I am feeling at the moment along with a beautiful, found postcard. It’s a spark of joy for your eyes and ears.
