2020 Nick Costa

According to Nick Costa, “Tell My Mother I Love Her” was recorded “in the wake of a 10-year relationship” and it really shows. The album is 10 songs of downtrodden introspection and wondering where things went wrong. The burnt out beauty of songs like “Sicka Tryna Love You” and “Ashes” are as heartbreaking as they are stunning.

His passion is on display from the first…

2020 Becomestrange

Becomestrange are really great at combining experimentation and beauty that defies any clear genre. “Hearts in the Right Place” is a lovely track that explores the very definitions of a song. It’s amazing how the song seems to change drastically from the very start. It floats somewhere between ambient, pop, electronica, and musique concrète, but honestly is undefinable. It’s…
