Pittsburgh haze pop ensemble Flower Crown are back with fantastic guitar album, Heat. Their latest album runs the gamut of emotions, featuring feelings of despondence, hope and even playful indifference — a reflection of the band members’ evolving relationships and changes in trajectory over the tumultuous last year and a half.

Lizzie Lieberson has just released her debut solo album, You Don’t Know, which marks a new beginning for the well known Brooklyn artist. For ten years she was a member of TEEN alongside her sisters, as Lizzie Loveless she ruminates on her past relationships and offers an optimistic reprieve for the future.

Ruminating on the risks of taking things for granted in our daily lives, Ian Felice, the lead singer/songwriter of The Felice Brothers, expresses how meaningful the experience of playing music with his band has been after long months of social distancing. From Dreams to Dust, their eighth and most recent studio album reveals a folk-Americana-rock-country band with deep roots in varied genres. The Felice Brothers are what Rolling Stone lauds as “musician’s musicians” and poets. This album is highly recommended.

Elsa Carmona made her first song when she was 7 years old. She was born in Barcelona and came to Stockholm in her early years. Constantly being surrounded by music while growing up made songwriting feel like a natural part of her life. Elsa writes mysterious but catchy songs about visceral emotions and genuine experiences. This is all on display on her new EP ‘Sacred Rebel’
