The Shootouts - Switchback
Label: TransOceanic Genre: Indie Alt Country Reviewed by: Len Comaratta
With previous albums strongly influenced by honky-tonk and Western swing or the Bakersfield Sound and roots rock, their latest claims its inspiration from their home of Akron, OH and the Rust Belt. The progression in sound is natural; it isn’t forced or contrived, but there is an intention behind incorporating taut arrangements and well-defined hooks. Something about Ryan Humbert’s voice and some of the vibe throughout kept me thinking of this album as a somewhat laid-back, slower, alt-country version of The Thermals.
Legends were once told of the tales of New Music, today it returns at long last
Julien Baker & Torres - Send a Prayer My Way
Label: Matador Genre: Indie Alt Country/Folk Reviewed by: Kayra Ersoy
Julien Baker & Torres is the coolest and most unexpected country/folk collaboration. This album is an ode to both artists' upbringings in such an expressive manner. The instrumentals will make you tap your foot while the lyrics scratch your noggin. Torres's lower and fuller singing tangoes with Baker's higher and raw voice, creating the most beautiful harmonies.
