Ellie Sennhenn – Editor-in-Chief: I am fully back in my sad folk music era. I think I have spent the last four nights curled up listening to “100 ghosts” by Field Medic and letting the lyrics crawl deep into my soul. The artist pairs beautiful lyrics like “I’m a silver balloon, hardly a reflection” and…
Ellie Sennhenn – Editor-in-Chief: I am a sucker for painful lyricism and an unsteady guitar. Pinegrove’s album “Everything So Far” is everything someone would want in these depressing February weeks. Slushy ice, sticky mud, long Facetimes to my siblings; it all reminds me of Pinegrove. Specifically, the song “On Jet Lag.” I will let the…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief: For my final staff pick, I’d like to highlight “IGOR’S THEME” by Tyler, the Creator. I graduate college this weekend and Tyler has consistently been an artist that I’ve listened to since high school. Being the album’s theme track, it is such a timeless and powerful tune, and I would like…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief: This month, I’m choosing “Laramee” by Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners. I spent a lot of time taking alternative routes on my way back from campus, and this song allowed me to sit and reflect on my thoughts. My time here will quickly come to an end and the job…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief: I’m reverting back to my roots for this one. “Understand” by Greer has been stuck in my head lately and despite seeing them perform live back in 2022, my sentimentality toward the lead singer continues to thrive. The strong electric guitar paired with his smooth voice and the emotion with each…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief: With the commencement of autumn, tumultuous adjustment periods and a smidge of post-summer heartache, I’m proud to announce: INDIE ROCK IS SO BACK! I’d like to honorably mention “At Home” by Slow Pulp. As somebody who desperately tries to avoid any reminder that winter is approaching, I listen to this song…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief This month finally marked the beginning of spring as the leaves began to appear on trees, cherry blossoms bloomed and students crowded the quad. To celebrate the warm weather and the feeling of having to air out the heat marinating in my car, “Can I Kick It?” by A Tribe Called…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief This month I went on a trip to New Hampshire with some friends of mine during spring break and rediscovered a personal favorite: “Bobby Boucher” by EARTHGANG, Spillage Village and Benji. Something about the second verse, man. Amps me up. This song on repeat on the drive to school produces enough…
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief This month, a song that has been on the top of my list is “Tomorrow” by Shakey Graves. The first time I felt the full impact of this song, I sat in my car with two beloved friends and watched the sun set in a swirl of reds, pinks and oranges….
Lauren Drapeau – Editor-in-Chief For the month of January, I decided to listen to “Mesa Redonda” by Hermanos Gutiérrez on repeat. Part of the reason being that I keep playing the recent songs saved to my Spotify out of laziness, but also because it makes me feel like I’m coasting through a warm desert with…
