PONY is a really pleasant album from Rex Orange County. 10 songs with a total running time of 34 minutes… classic pop! Released in 2019 this cool bunch of tunes features bright keys, gentle rhythms and excellent vocals arrangement. Rating ★★★★
Bombay Bicycle Club
Bombay Bicycle Club‘s 2020 album ‘Everything Else Has Gone Wrong’ is great! It features cool guitar sounds, riffs and arrangements that are paired wonderfully with the Bombay's terrific blend of vocals and synthesizers. On-Point rhythms and first class studio production earns a GOLD STAR from me, especially when I enjoyed this album through quality speaker and cans. This album is majestic, uplifting and hopeful with great pulsating and tight rhythm. Wonderful! Uplifting! Sonically rich! Glorious and magical. Rating ★★★★★
Sebadoh ~ Defend Yourself ~ 2013
Sebadoh’s Defend Yourself is a great indie album. It’s a warm album that rolls along nicely when you are at your desk at work or writing an assignment for college. This ain’t no party starter… just a solid cool indie album from one of the coolest band ever. I love SEBADOH and this album get high rotation in my remote-office. The fuzzy low-fi guitar and “real” drums make me feel warm and like the Sebadah lads are still that cool new band I just discovered im 1991 and I want to see them play live… because they are so cool. Rating ★★★ —— so cool and so indie!

Wilco
Album of the Week Ode to Joy by Wilco ★★★★ Gentle, rich, steady and very Wilco! Wilco strip everything down to the bare essentials on Ode to Joy and have produced a wonderful low-key collection of quality and largely skeletal tunes. Ode to Joy is a beautiful album that takes a few listens to get into it, but it is 100% worth it. Ode to Joy – Wilco’s 11th studio album - 11 songs written and produced by Jeff Tweedy and recorded by Wilco at The Loft (Chicago, IL) in January 2019. Stand out tracks: Everyone Hides, Love Is Everywhere (Beware) and Hold Me Anyway.

The Head and the Heart’s fourth album fresh and strong album with rich arrangements.
