Skeleton House by Crooked GhostHumongous-sounding music — this band sounds like an orchestra — with a talented singer whose tone is exactly between hopeful and despairing. This band will go far. Our favorite song: Sleepwalker. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)

Lunatic by George WildingThese are some long, thoughtful lines of music and George Wilding sings them with everything he’s got.

Chimera Camera by Love PortEighties pop, seventies harmonies, nineties rock, and a mix of external sounds that sounds very right now. Experimentally-listenable music from Albany, New York. Our favorite song: In My Dreams. (Featured on our #28 podcast, Hampton Inn Hallway.)
