Read MoreSHUSH "I COULD HAVE IMAGINED ANYTHING" REVIEW
Shush have arrived onto the Twin Cities music scene with one of the most buzz-worthy local releases of 2021. This album has a very unique vibe that’s haunting and at times dark but not spooky. It’s visceral and cathartic. It’s part indie rock, melodic punk, with tones of sludge that stay sweet.

Read MoreJOEY NOVACHECK "NATURAL" REVIEW
When it comes to songwriting and mood-setting, Joey Novacheck is a natural.
Natural is great at putting you into a place with minimal and typically warm instrumentation. Generally, this is an album for relaxing, sitting somewhere comfortable, and simply listening. Joey primarily uses guitar, piano, a droning synth tone, and plenty of his signature banjo stylings. The minimal sound draws you to the vocal delivery and the lyrics, which are worth the attention.
