“She plays a kalimba (I learned this by googling her). It sounds like a cross between a xylophone and a harp. Her story songs are interesting and confounding, familiar yet alien-sounding. Fans of Joanna Newsom should check her out.”

Artist: Shortstack
“Great vocals and harmonies. Love the overall sound. Kinda reminds 70's rock. I imagine this as part of a movie sound track... maybe the opening song....big old caddy convertable driving down the highway on a hot summer nights day.”
THE RUN DON'T WALK! REC

“You would never know this was a Japanese Rock band, because they sing perfectly in English. Fast-paced punk/pop-rock that hasn't been duplicated in the US in the past few years. Instead of following the "emo-pop" trend, they stick to good old-fashioned pop-rock similar to blink-182 and Yellowcard.
If you're a fan of ANY pop/punk-rock, GET BOTH CDS, NOW!”

“Through an artist on Amie Street when the site was young I first heard of Blockhead. This was the song that was sent to me. I've been waiting for this moment to REC this one track for almost 2 years and it's finally here. Insomniac Olympics is AMAZING. REC REC REC REC REC dammit REC'd!!!!”
