Standout tracks

“Uh oh” by Romanie
Feels like you know where this song is going until the guitars kick in. I hadn’t heard Belgian/Australian Romanie before this, but I’m sure you’ll see her here again.

“PCH” by waltzerr
The Seattle band just released a perfect warm-weather drive song.

“Mr. Babylon” by L’Espiral
I was sure that this duo was from Europe, but nope: California. This song has had me hooked all week. It sounds like it was just dug up in a time capsule from like 1971.
