Alivan Blu makes The Fall feel like a fresh find worth bragging about.
Pete Christianson
Guitars stay warm and sun-faded and the groove keeps a loose.
Bright acoustic strums, a clean low-end pulse, and a vocal.
For late-afternoon walks, train rides, or the stubborn calm.
Josiah and the Bonnevilles turn “Stolen Love” into the kind of song.
Wax Owls land “Carry Me” like a song you somehow missed until now.
Guitars glow at the edges and the rhythm keeps a clean.
The mix feels lean and lived-in, all punch and friction.
The Natterjacks sound like a band that already knows the room.
Stephen Sanchez turns "See The Light" into the kind of fresh find.
The hook hits fast and the groove feels lived-in.
The production keeps things clean and close: crisp percussion.
Guitars ring with a crisp edge and the drums land in a clean.
My favorite Mellow songs from the past year.

Jordy Maxwell turns “Sunday Morning” into the kind of track.
Guitar strings ring clean and close and the vocal sits front and center.
