Day 16
Backward Town
The Grapes of Wrath
From "Treehouse"
Impeccable Byrdsian jangle-pop from a band that never quite broke out. Anyone who grew up in a small town or rural area will recognize the sentiment.

Right Back to It
Waxahatchee feat. MJ Lenderman
From "Tigers Blood"
2024 (US)
A nice thing about the 2020s is the country-folk revival. Waxahatchee's harmonies with Lenderman really add something to this heartfelt song. Nice video too!

Seven Day Fool
Jully Black
From "Revival"
Canada isn't known for its smokin' soul music (understatement), but Jully Black really brings the heat here. She's part of a growing trend of Black Canadian musicians.

Walk Home
Bon Iver
From "SABLE, fABLE"
2025 (US)
Bon Iver is perhaps the most innovative alt-rock artist of this era. He tones down the electronic touches, while bringing in soul influences. This seems to be his only (solo) pick yet. 😮

Let Go The Line
Max Webster
From "A Million Vacations"
This is an unapologetic classic rock and roll reverie from a band that originated just down the road from here. Very much of its time yet somehow out of time too. I still love this!
