Emmett Cohen- Vibe Provider

 

A few good tracks on this one, but ultimately not the most re-listenable album.

Reaction:

Good set! Kind of themed pairing with Wrap My Head and Northeast (questions) and Out of Control and Earth Intruders. Debut of a few new good tunes.

Do I Want To Hear More? My Morning Jacket

 Time to explore the MMJ catalog. Coming soon.

Do I Want To Hear More? (Heavy Makeup)

 

I do want to hear more from Heavy Makeup after listening to their debut album. It's light stuff, but sometimes Edie Brickell and bandmates hit on a mood or vibe and it's compelling.

Artemis (Artemis)

I listened to the debut album of the jazz group Artemis. I'd listened to it before. There were a few songs that I liked, so they'll go on playlists soon. I'm going to listen to their second album again.

Do I Want to Hear More? (Noah Kahan)

 Artist: Noah Kahan

Album: Stick Season

It's weird- I don't dislike Kahan's album. I bet he'd be great live, but there's a sameness and a blandness to his music. He's kind of Mumford and Sons-ish, kind of the 2010's folkie, kind of Don McLean. If I wanted to hear more, there's a whole slew of bonus tracks. As of now, though, I'm not eager to hear too much more.
