“Heavy Metal” by Cameron Winter ()

“Cameron Winter’s solo debut, Heavy Metal, is a heart-on-your-sleeve, intrusive thought-filled, molasses-dripping, gooey, chaotic masterpiece. His vocals, ranging from a deep baritone to a desperate screech, stretch across the album and haunt each track. This solo work diverges from his other project, Geese, to reveal an even more experimental side of Winter. His self-critical lyrics and erratic percussion dance from track to track and really build the album into a full universe. It’s surreal, but not nonsensical–each track tells a full story and perfectly, purposefully weaves into the next track. The album’s biggest moments ensue on the epic six-minute tracks of ‘Nina + Field of Cops’ and ‘$0’. The former begins with a driving piano roll combined with a half-sung half-spoken manifesto that can only be described as a beautiful descent into madness, followed by the haunting a capella opening of ‘$0’ that transitions into a darker piano and string-led ballad. The full lyrical composition and emotional delivery make for the most gut-wrenching, emotionally destabilizing listen. Just fantastic, off-putting, and addictive.”

"Cleaner Than Clean" by Astrachan ()

"Chicago’s own Ben Astrachan creates a sound on ‘Cleaner Than Clean’ that’s effortlessly lo-fi and charmingly twangy. With upbeat, folk-influenced songwriting, Astrachan’s project brings both melancholy and unprecedented silliness to the table. Particularly the song 'Monkey Mind' contains an air of Sufjan Stevens-esque musicality–down to a soft choral backing track and soft, introspective lyrics. Another artist returning to straight-to-tape recording, Astrachan gives a glimpse into the future of authentic and artistic Midwest indie rock."
