Two weeks ago, ‘the Heartbreak Kid’ Logan Micheals dropped his 3rd mixtape titled “Lo-Fi Logan.” As you may expect, the sound of this project is right in the title. Logan Micheals arranges fifteen lofty, smooth riding instrumentals that encapsulates nearly 40 minutes in run time.

Harper's Jar have rumbled around the Twin Cities underground for awhile now. Even before putting out their first track, the quick and saucy "Aphrodite," back in 2017, their raucous clattering has boomed from beneath the floorboards of DIY venues and out onto the streets of neighborhoods like Marcy-Holmes and Midway.
Read MoreRABECA "POTLUCK" REVIEW
Remember the quaint ol’ days of quarantinis and toilet paper shortage? Seems like so long ago. I find myself wanting to transport back to that time in order to be able to properly assess the debut album “Potluck” from the local food and jazz enthusiasts, Rabeca.

With a debut album that tallies over 14 features from a bevy of Twin Cities legends, Rising Path shares the most absolutely stacked lineup in an album this year. This album does not feel like a producer/vocalist duo project, but a compilation that dabbles over a vast spread of different sounds and styles with a heavy chunk of local flavor.
Read MoreBUGSY "TALK TO YOU" MUSIC VIDEO
Bugsy takes their green screen outside for some digital fun in the sun. The video is full of smiles and the band acting silly, which feels a perfectly in contrast with the typical breakup song. Like all the best Bugsy songs,

Dua Saleh is not here to fuck around. The Sudan-born, Twin Cities-based artist has proved that they are a force to be reckoned with since the release of their Nūr EP in January of 2019, and their follow up, ROSETTA, is no different.
Read MoreA SUNKEN SHIP IRONY "EVERYONE IS SAD" REVIEW
Bluntness. It’s the source of a great punk song’s power, when raw lyrics turn a straightforward chord progression into something transcendent. This ethos comes through in spades on Everyone is Sad, the latest EP from the Minneapolis folk-punk duo,
