They’ve got the pop vibe going like ‘The Shins’ and the spectacular depth of ‘Bon Iver’, but Sylvan Weekends still stand out with their own brand of charm. They manage to marry folk-pop with modern-day style, still keeping it an easy listen.

Whether you’ve been into folk-pop or indie folk from the word go or you just dabble with the genre, this EP’s gonna pull you in—and hold you there! It’s not just listening—it’s an immersive experience from start to finish.

Justin Levinson's "Collamer Circle" is a Sonic Masterpiece

Sometimes, an album just comes along and smacks you right upside the head with just how utterly fantastic it is. You know the kind I’m talking about. Like when you first heard Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” or U2’s “Joshua Tree,” and you just kind of stood there in awestruck wonder thinking, “Man, this is some deliciously good sonic therapy people.”

Well, smack dab in the middle of our socially distanced hellscape, Justin Levinson goes and does exactly that with his fifth album “Collamer Circle.” Like sinking into a well-worn leather couch with a warm cup of your favorite beverage, this record just envelops you with its cozy, homely charm, all the while wrapping you in thought-provoking, soul-stirring lyrical melodies.

Levinson’s Vermonter roots resound passionately throughout this layered and evocative album. There’s an infectious maturity that oozes from the audial grooves here, no doubt a product of his collaboration with fellow Vermont homeboy and composer extraordinaire, Ben Patton. It’s like they’ve managed to mix their own little batch of musical maple syrup, sticky, sweet and unmistakably made in Vermont.

The space “Collamer Circle” occupies is kind of a soft rock land space with hard pop jutting out at intervals. The lyrics are uncomplicated but profound, the kind of tracks you just casually hum along to until you catch what Levinson’s actually saying and go “Huh, that’s damn deep.” It’s a brilliant little exercise in the ‘less is more’ philosophy of music.

“Burn Your Whole World” and “Madeline, For The Win” are like a tour de force through the emotional mania of modern relationships, while “I Wasn’t Capable” and “Then and There” posses an introspection that’s as startling as it is poignant. There’s a kind of lyrical sorcery at play here that’s part and parcel of Levinson’s narrative charm.

The instrumentals from the lustrous strumming of guitar strings to the resonating depth of the bass, each note harmonizes to form an irresistible pull towards the core of each song. Patton’s treatment here deserves special mention, it’s like he’s managed to convert Levinson’s very soul into tuneful strokes on an audial canvas.

“Collamer Circle” is an album that reminds you why music is such a primal force for humans. It’s a beacon of hope in these grim times, the kind of record that cuts through cynicism and despair to remind you of the enduring power of love, resilience, and, well, darn good melody.

So, if you’re looking for something that’s gonna hold your hand and take you on a reflective sonic journey, get your hands on “Collamer Circle.” Trust me, this is a gem of an album that’s got “masterpiece” etched into each beat. Justin Levinson, you sly fox, you’ve gone and done something fantastic here. As always, though, don’t take my word for it. Give it a spin and watch the magic unfold.

Jennifer Tefft's "Love and War": A Stellar Serving of Indie-Rock Brilliance

It’s tough to nail down exactly what makes Jennifer Tefft’s latest single, “Love and War,” so magical. Seriously, folks, it’s a barnstormer of indie rock energy that bounces from one emotional peak to another, all the while sketching a bright and complex portrait of the crazy dance between fire and calm in relationships.

We’re still reeling from her impressive win as the ‘Female Performer of the Year’ at the New England Music Awards, and now she’s gone and hurled this absolute gem our way. “Love and War” whiffs of the exciting new shades we can expect in her upcoming sixth album. This track has Tefft wading into the messy waters of love – showcasing a relationship that’s teeming with passion but also burdened with the hefty weight of maintaining a long-distance affair. Worst bit? Her guy’s a disaster at keeping in touch.

Musically, this piece is a delicate blend of dreamy effortlessness and laser-focused craftsmanship. Those thunderous toms and searing strings weave a rich, broad canvas that is as pulse-pounding as it is emotionally exhausting. There’s a real streak of energy buzzing about, lighting up the atmosphere and hooking you right into those gripping three-and-a-half minutes. And oh, can we talk about Tefft’s vocals? Raw, genuine, just oozing authenticity – a real high-point transporting the narrative of the song right at ya.

Let’s doff a hat for producer Munk Duane, who has spun this into an aural feast that has your ears pinned from the get-go. And Hans DeKline? Mastering this piece into a clear, crisp and powerful journey that neatly delivers Tefft’s heartfelt sentiments.

What’s cool is that Jennifer shakes up her crew a little. We’ve got Chris Georgenes on the skins and Stephen Beccia grooving on the bass and backing vocals. Coupled with the rock-steady John Parrillo, they lighten up as the fresher and more energetic Jennifer Tefft & The Strange. This shift is evident in “Love and War,” with a punchy, well-coordinated performance that keeps echoing in your head long after the final notes have faded.

You know, on hearing “Love and War,” you’re swept into this fleeting universe, a lush mix of love’s intoxicating sweetness savoured with the bitter scraps of hopeless chats. Despite its indie rock roots, there’s a high-flying quality to the tune that rounds it to the masses. It’s a sure-shot sign of Tefft’s unyielding talent to engage, surprise, and keep pushing her own boundaries.

So here’s a cheer for Jennifer Tefft & The Strange, charting their own path through the choppy waves of indie rock like it’s a walk in the park. Soaring above the ordinary, striding over the great divide between victory and disaster, their music resonates with a deep-seated yearning and the promise of epic tunes yet to come. For now, though, let’s drown in “Love and War” – a stellar serving of indie-rock brilliance. But let’s not forget: it’s perfectly imperfect as it should be – just like the best love stories. Do you get me?

Patoranking Blends Afrobeats, Reggae, Dancehall & Hip Hop On His Fourth Studio Album World Best

Raking in over 500 million YouTube views, a quarter of a billion DSP streams for his previous 2020 album Three, Nigerian star Patoranking lives up to his anointed moniker “World Best” from his devoted fans, a following of over 8.7 million on Instagram alone. Through his long standing reputation of layering afrobeats, dancehall and reggae, the Lagos-born artist is in a class of his own. He was instantly drawn to the pulsating native rhythms of galala, an uptempo reggae-inspired music and dance that took over his streets in the 1980s and 1990s. His fourth studio album, aptly titled World Best, is a masterfully modern culmination of this genre fusion – driven by love, life and conscious lyricism.

On World Best (out today Sept 6, 2023), Patoranking taps international icons like American hip hop legend Ludacris, Jamaica’s own dancehall don Beenie Man and Kingston’s unruly boss Popcaan. His homegrown sound is nurtured with more talented collaborators hailing from Africa – including hitmakers Kizz Daniel (Nigeria) and Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania) as well as rising stars Victony (Nigeria), Gyakie (Ghana) and Zion Foster (UK by way of Nigeria). From lush instrumentation to synthesized beats, the LP’s range of production holds a celebratory tone and is provided by an all-star cast of up-and-coming and well-known African producers. The list includes Phantom (Nigeria), Kel P (Nigeria), Killertunes (Nigeria), C-Tea (Ghana), Mix Master Garzy (Ghana) and many more.

Over the last year, Patoranking has been steadily releasing key cuts from World Best. The intoxicating “Kolo Kolo” ft. Diamond Platnumz (produced by Young Willis) has already received almost 30 million YT video views and recently won Best East Meets West Collaboration at East Africa Arts Entertainment Awards (EAEA) 2023. “Abobi” followed with its full-bodied melodies created by Nigeria’s Kel P, whose credits include multiple hits on Burna Boy’s African Giant 2019 landmark album. Over the summer, Patoranking dropped “Higher,” a spiritual vibration featuring cracking percussion sound and soft glowing synth chords produced by Mix Master Garzy, and unleashed the party starter “Tonight” ft. Popcaan produced by DJ Breezy (who is responsible for Patoranking’s 2014 hit “My Woman, My Everything” ft. Wande Coal. The latter Nigeria-meets-Jamaica anthem is already over 2m+ YT views and climbing Nigeria’s Top 100 chart.

The swoon-worthy collaborations continue throughout World Best. Ludacris finds common ground with Patoranking as they recall their humble beginnings before fame on “Miracle Baby.” On “Gyal Like You” featuring Nigerian star Kizz Daniel, both icons are smitten over a breathtaking sight as their vocals ride over the feel good beats by the young Nigerian producer Killertunes (Wizkid, MUT4Y, Duncan Mighty‘s). “Women of the Year” ft. Zion Foster is a sultry ode to the ones they dedicate their hearts to. The words of admiration float over a mid-tempo afrobeats groove by N2THEA, the UK-based Ghanaian producer (Tion Wayne, Afro-B and Alicai Harley). With an earnest feeling fueling the melody in every word on “Amazing Grace,” Patoranking and the self-crowned King of the Dancehall Beenie Man declare their vows and boast unconditional love to their prospective queens. The song’s shimmering guitar licks and an ensemble of wind instruments are courtesy of C-Tea, the Ghanaian producer/sound engineer who earned a Grammy win for Black Coffee’s 2022 album Subconsciously. Patoranking is head over heels and hypnotized on “Control Me” complemented by the vocals of the fast-rising Ghanaian songstress Gyakie and rhythms built by Mix Master Garzy. The album’s standout track “Babylon” features one of Nigeria’s latest musical exports Victony and is an alluring wonder into the unknown. The seductive sounds are crafted by Nigeria’s renowned Phantom, the man behind Burna Boy’s “Ye” and Camidoh’s 2022 anthem “Sugarcane.”

World Best follows Patoranking’s albums: God Over Everything (2015), Wilmer (2019) and Three (2020). Listen Here

“Cellar Door” is the newest track from A/V CLvB, giving us a taste of what to expect from their upcoming EP, “Dumbwaiters to Die For.” This song delves deep into a troubled love story marked by lies and a strong desire for stuff. They got inspired by the mysterious movie “Donnie Darko” and made a song that feels like an emotional rollercoaster about human connections.

Hailing from Plymouth, MA, A/V CLvB brings us “Cellar Door,” a wild art-rock song that tips its hat to bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Queens of the Stone Age, while keeping its feet in punk, grunge, and emo. This song’s charm lies in its jumbled chords and refreshing simplicity, with a smooth bassline amidst the noisy guitar bits.

This new single “As Simple As It Gets” marks an intriguing departure from his previous work, which primarily focused on classical and Christian worship music. In response to a friend’s encouraging challenge, Marcus decided to explore pop music, and the result is this fresh and captivating single.

“As Simple As It Gets” gives off a laid-back pop vibe, something far different from Marcus’ earlier compositions.

This song speaks volumes about the struggle with depression and sadness, emotions that can sneak into our lives when we least expect them. For many of us, music becomes a comforting companion during these times. We turn to our “sad playlist” of songs that resonate with our feelings and offer solace. It’s as if these songs understand us when words fail.

But “As Simple As It Gets” also touches on the power of human connection. There’s that unique person who has the remarkable ability to brighten our world, even if just a little. Their presence can transform our sadness into happiness, and our despair into hope.

Marcus Barnes’ shift into the realm of pop music is a commendable exploration of new horizons. It’s a testament to his versatility as an artist and his willingness to embrace different genres. “As Simple As It Gets” captures the essence of human emotion and the role that music and meaningful connections play in our lives.

This song actually resonates with people from all walks of life as no matter what part we choose to pursue we come across adversities and hurdles that sometimes they look impossible to overcome.

"EC_ET" by Eddz: A Sonic Postcard from England's Vanishing Townscapes

You ever heard an EDM track that acts like a tour guide walking you through abandoned cityscapes and silenced nightlife? That’s exactly what my dude Eddz cooked up with “EC_ET.” Picture a mixtape formed from nightclub echoes and industrial vibes; kind of like a love letter to the neon-lit ghost towns. Let me tell ya, this ain’t your regular club banger – it’s a socially aware jam packed with twists and turns of pop genres that speak volumes, if you care to listen.

The minute the rhythm gets going, you’re hooked. You feel like you’re sinking and surfacing at the same time, amidst wide and unexplored sonic depths. Picture your favorite small town in England dwindling under the growl of synths and the churn of electronica bits- a weirdly entrancing perspective.

What’s crazy though, is how the vocals come across. You got this dude talking about harsh realities in a gravelly voice that could be telling you stories over a pint in the pub. And on the flip, a soft, haunted chorus from this mystery girl chanting like she’s whispering secrets into the fading night sky, painting a picture of peculiar allure to the decay we’re living in. Never heard of sea breeze hitting against smoky streets? Listen to this track!

But here’s the deal – “EC_ET” isn’t just some tune, mate. It’s more like a sonic telegram to the big guns, blasting out a desperate cry in frequencies only the finely-tuned can decode. Digs deep, it does, into the hollowed hearts of towns and cities, shaking up the skeletons of dusty alleys and long-lost communities all over Blighty.

You ever wondered how some DJs just know? That every beat drop, synth swirl, and lyrical whisper fits right where it’s meant to be? That’s the genius in Eddz’s management, making sure every sound slice gets its share of the limelight without hogging it all. It’s a masterclass of spoken word.

No lie, “EC_ET” is some next-level work from Eddz, balancing on the thin wire between EDM and artistry while delivering a sobering story about our dying local hearts. Way more than a headbanger, it’s a wake-up call, urging you to see the world we’re in. And in that, it’s a symphony that goes beyond head nods and foot taps– a tune you feel in your bones. Music, mate, more than reflecting life, it frickin’ mirrors it, pushes it, pulls it, and swears it into eternity.

"Synergy" by The Greatest Entertainer: A Unique Piece

Look who’s hitting the scene harder than a caffeine crash in the afternoon – It’s The Greatest Entertainer. Yeah, you heard that right. This bloke, who used to huff and puff bumping into huge men in the gym, is now setting his sights on making the music world his own playground. And how’s he gonna do that? Well, he’s dropped his latest single, “Synergy.”

This tune ain’t something you just hum along half-heartedly. Nah, it’s got a twist and turn, kinda like a salsa dancer! Mixing yesterday’s sound with hints of what’s coming next in alt-pop, “Synergy” isn’t scared to shake things up. Imagine a symphony of drums piling it on, layers of sound flying around like a flock of excited seagulls onto an ice cream. That’s “Synergy” for you.

Now, where this track does a little jig on your heartstrings, is down to The Greatest Entertainer’s unique knack for wrapping rhythm around catchy alt-pop melodies. Not one to stick to the boring ol’ rules, our man here marries his kickass melody skills with his energizing vibes. End result – you get everything you never knew you wanted from a song. It’s like bringing a bomb party right between your earphones.

If you recall his earlier bangers, “That’s Why They Call Me The Greatest” and “Get in the Gym,” you’d think he’s changed up his style. But he isn’t limited, he’s just leaning into this ‘90s alternative rock vibe with a dash of alt-pop – a little like switching your morning coffee to a cold brew. And boy, does it hit you right, with a thick layer of nostalgia.

“Synergy” isn’t just a tune; it’s a freakin’ roller-coaster – a produce of every genre you could think of. It’s got the beating drive of alt-pop. An added layer of that raw ‘90s rock energy. And finally, topped off with some good, old electronic beats that’d start any party. Despite all this genre clash, it doesn’t feel crowded. It feels vibrant, like a heart slamming against your ribcage.

“Synergy” isn’t just a song. It’s the beating testament of what The Greatest Entertainer is and can be — a wild card who can make the oddball sound profound, the standard look blah. I’m telling you, he’s found the secret ingredient, the spice that gets you dancing, not caring about who’s watching. And believe me, this guy’s future in music? It’s brighter than a disco ball at a house party.

Disconnect to Reconnect: A Closer Look at Juliet Callahan - "Heal"

In the fizzy, bubbling arena of pop, there’s a fresh face bobbin’ to the surface, Juliet Callahan. A New Yorker with a knack for knocking out tunes that are more heart jerking than honey-dripping. Her latest piece, “Heal,” is less of your ordinary electro-pop confectionery and more of a wholesome meal, cooked up with a distinct zest of digital-age commentary. And did I mention? It’s all cooked up, mixed and mastered in her cozy home studio — giving us a rousing reminder of her musical gifts.

What’s on offer with “Heal” might appear as your classic jam, but it digs deeper. It’s a piquant mash-up of cosmic-sounding vocals and automated elements that are stitched together with surgeon-like precision — all done without being too clinical. Callahan throws in twinkling tidbits in the mix, inviting listeners to a little more than mindless head bobbing – it’s more like a ‘head-first’ into an ocean-deep sonic experience.

One listen and you can’t help falling for the enchantment of Callahan’s voice; got this slick vibe to it, can’t miss it, not polished to plastic but the soulful kind, flush with genuine rich emotion that dances elegantly with the introspective lyrics. It’s not your standard cookie-cutter stuff either; she tackles the topic of social media head-on, ain’t afraid to show some vulnerability, ain’t afraid to reveal some home truths.

Disconnect to Reconnect: A Closer Look at Juliet Callahan’s Single - "Heal" — Disconnect to Reconnect: A Closer Look at Juliet Callahan’s Single – “Heal”

Her words, sharp and precise, slice through the pristine electronic soundscape, hitting right on the money on the irony of our social media reality. You know, that strange world where likes generate living, bridges are built digitally, yet knocking your self-esteem off the edge. Callahan, in her cleverly nuanced style, nudges you to face this fact, reminding you of the importance of ‘healing’ from the relentless digital ticker tape, the need for unplugging, putting your wellbeing up front.

Now, you may feel ripples of big leaguers like Robyn or Grimes in “Heal,” but hold your horses. Callahan’s got her own groove on, giving the genre a good stir with her insightful songcraft, melding accessible rhythms with deep-meaning lyrics. It’s a heady mix that puts her on the chart of rising talents to keep your ear out for.

“Heal” shows us that Juliet Callahan isn’t just another voice in the choral tapestry of female music artists. She’s the real deal, a force to reckon with. Her voice echoes strong in the vast panorama of pop, steering us into a much-needed meaningful conversation, albeit wrapped in the irresistible packaging of electronic pop. Don’t mistake the song for some wishy-washy self-help treasury though; it’s a legit beckoning light, showing us that sometimes it’s okay to hit the pause button, to sit back, relax, and let the healing begin.

We get an eyeful of her grappling with self-worth and the tangled process of figuring out who the ‘right’ folks to have by her side are.

That kind of raw honesty seeps into her music and hits you right in the feels, making it just that much more gripping.

While she strides alongside pop powerhouses like Sia and P!nk, known for their kick-ass anthems, Natalie carves out her own spot in the crowd. “MANTRA” is staking her claim—not shy about flaunting what makes her unique.

Hope Dawns with Shanti Chapman's "Joy Comes in the Morning"

Taking a dive into Shanti Chapman’s latest single, “Joy Comes in the Morning,” it’s like soaking into a much-needed bubble bath of soulful rejuvenation. With its gospel strains pulsating right through you, it’s impossible not to feel a kind of communal warmth, the kind that stems from shared human experiences, vocalized against the societal margins we often forget.

Now, Chapman ain’t just another singer – the fella came from a time when he used to play tunes for the U.S Army. But eventually, he gave his whole dang heart to creating his brand of music. Weathered by life, this man’s music feels like a testament to human resilience, the kind we need to remember when times feel too tough for comfort.

The arrangement is worth a mention too. Simplicity at its best, it lets Shanti’s vocals savor the limelight while balancing an authentic gospel vibe. It’s like the instruments understand; they’re doing their part, create a place for you to feel easy, to reflect, and to just… breathe. It’ll have your feet tapping and your head nodding.

Gospel and soul ain’t just song and dance – they’ve been the hymns of tempest-tossed hearts and the whispers of societal critique. Taking this torch forward, Chapman echoes to inspire listeners with a message of hope and persistence even during tough times, using his song as an anthem that “Joy Comes in the Morning”.. Having helped the homeless folks of Richmond, Kentucky, the man knows what he speaks – or rather, sings – about.

“Joy Comes in the Morning” walks up to you like a hopeful anthem, a testimony to human grit and guts, like stained glass windows with songs inhaled in every shard. It’s like Chapman’s found the secret recipe for a healing poultice with his concoction of music melted into his verses and refrains. Can’t help but say, gives you that Marvin Gaye level empathy; brings the Sam Cooke vibes of yore; albeit, in a new flavor.

Chapman’s story doesn’t just make you respect the artist, but the human behind the notes and lyrics. You don’t just listen to “Joy Comes in the Morning;” you soak in the faith it diffuses – the faith in healing; the faith in the dawn that follows the darkest nights. The man’s not pulling lyrics out of thin air, friends; he’s using his gift to light up life’s nooks and crannies – he’s more than a musician, he’s a beacon.

Life ain’t been a bed of roses for our man Chapman. In the last four months, he’s been dealing with some serious false accusations trying to spoil his reputation in social work. It’s hit him hard, practically turned his world upside down. But that hasn’t broken him. Chapman got unshakeable faith in the big man upstairs and his own relentless spirit. And you can bet he didn’t let it slow him down. Matter of fact, against all odds, Chapman came out of it stronger, proving that nothing can keep a good man down.

Roundin’ off, “Joy Comes in the Morning” isn’t just a run-of-the-mill single; it’s a snapshot of Chapman’s resilient spirit, his vision to cast light in darkness using the beam of his music. A shiftin’, swayin’ anthem, it lifts you and plops you down from the pain-etched bylanes of society to a sunrise of better tomorrows. Give it a listen and let it feed your soul, folks. Walk through its soundscape and with every step, let it guide you towards the brighter side of life, just like the morning sun peeking over the twilight.

"Late Train" to Love: Natalie Clark's Expressive Pop Single

The Scottish musician Natalie Clark, who’s pretty big in the indie-pop world at the moment, has a new single on the airwaves. It’s called “Late Train,” and this lass sure knows how to charm an audience with her soul-filled voice. She’s dead set on spinning these modern tales of romance, all wrapped up in some real chill tunes. You can’t help but feel a kind of warmth when you tune into this beautifully crafted song.

Listening to the tune, you feel like you’re being swept away into this amazing musical world, all thanks to Clark’s deeply emotional voice. It’s almost like hearing echoes from the glory days of Neo-soul. I mean, it’s hardly even started and you’re left sort of hanging, waiting for what comes next. Her voice? It’s like Amy Winehouse’s and Adele’s had a baby. There’s a raw honesty there which is both heart-breaking and uplifting at the same time.

The way Clark manages to weave these out-of-this-world catchy rhythms into her music is pretty unique. It’s kind of avant-garde. In “Late Train”, she amplifies this other-worldly voice in her lyrics. Coupled with comforting declarations and uplifting tunes – it’s like she’s holding up a mirror to our pandemic-hit world and telling us it’s gonna be all right.

“Late Train” isn’t just any music destination, it’s bloomin’ journey from start to finish. You could be forgiven for thinking the song is light and breezy, but take a closer listen and you’ll hear the soft beat of percussion dance alongside atmospheric synths and some melodic guitar. And it’s that beautifully tragic piano that ties it all together. It’s a feeling that sticks around even when the music’s stopped.

I have to mention as well, the production on “Late Train” is top-notch. Natalie combines indie pop and soulful vocals to create something that feels really fresh. With some quirky lo-fi vibes contrasting against a bit shinier, crystal-clear sound, it’s hard not to be amazed by her talent.

And when you really listen to the song, I mean really listen, you can’t help but sense Natalie’s sheer honesty and real emotional connection to her music. With ”Late Train” it’s clear she’s got something special going on in the indie pop scene. If you rate music that stirs your soul, gets you right in the feels, and gives a bit of calm in a world that seems all over the place, then get on that “Late Train”, mate. You won’t regret it.

But this time, he’s got a squad with him. There’s Ilodica, the voice and melodica magician; Funky Paulo, the keyboard, bass, and drums dynamo; and James Cox, the funkadelic wah-wah guitar guru. Together, they’ve conjured up some serious magic.

Now, let’s dive into the single “When Said Is Done.” It’s like this wild mashup of Jazz-Funk awesomeness with a sprinkle of Reggae vibes. Imagine dancing in a neon-lit cloud – that’s the vibe. And don’t even get me started on the lyrics. They’re like a cosmic pep talk, all about having faith in some higher power and letting the goodness in the universe shine, especially in our crazy world.

And here’s the kicker: this track ain’t no AI-generated shortcut. In a world where robots are tinkering with our tunes, this one’s a pure human creation. No auto-tune nonsense here. It’s like a reminder that real music is all about heart and soul, not just lines of code.

Let’s talk about the music itself. “When Said Is Done” is like a sonic tapestry, woven with care and crazy skill. Each note, each beat – they’re like strokes of genius that’ll tingle your eardrums. Seriously, you can tell these folks poured their hearts into making this tune a total masterpiece.

In the big ol’ world of music, “When Said Is Done” shines like a dang diamond. So here’s the deal: give it a listen, buckle up for the suspense, and let yourself get swept away on this funky, suspenseful, and oh-so-awesome journey. John Goldrust and the gang have cooked up something seriously special, and all you gotta do is hit play.
