Ani DiFranco: Gravel

Featured Artist

This week our featured artist is Frances Quinlan. Over the past decade, she’s made a name for herself in the indie community as the lead songwriter of the band Hop-Along. During her years with the band, she used her music to work through her ideas of female capability and what she herself is capable of as an individual. I personally really love her airy vocals mixed with some really different instrumental combinations that you don’t hear in a lot of music; like synth and harps together. If you wanna get a really good taste of everything Frances has done, I suggest looking outside of her solo work (which at this point is just two songs) and checking out Hop-Along too.

NEWSLETTER #3

I hope that your Saturday wasn’t too dreadful without your usual 12:00 update from me earlier. I’m here to make up for that with some great music and artists! Lay back, close your eyes, and soak up the sounds. Let yourself really absorb the music this week—especially our throwback artist (who may or may not be featured).

New Five

Spoon: Is This The Last Time

Jacob Collier, Daniel Caesar: Time Alone With You (Feat. Daniel Caesar)

The Chainsmokers, Amy Shark: The Reaper

Tame Impala: Posthumous Forgiveness

Harry Styles: Adore You

Throwback Track

Nick Drake: Northern Sky

Featured Artist

Nick Drake! This guy produced the most wonderfully somber music in the seventies. His breathy vocals and acoustic compositions captivated a small subset of the English folk music community, and many compared him to Donovan. He didn’t get a huge following until after his death, seeing as he almost never performed live. The way his melodies and lyrics express the uniqueness of each individual person’s melancholy is uncanny, and I really hope that you enjoy the song that I’ve picked for you to check out (and also listen to his other albums cause they’re awesome).
