Always a sucker for album covers featuring cats, I was instantly drawn to 3 1/2’s debut EP, First Recordings.  “Branches,” is one of my favorite tracks off the EP, which is available for free on Bandcamp, or for purchase on high-quality cassette tape. <a href=”http://co-wave.bandcamp.com/track/branches”...

Quite enjoy the retro feel of this track by Portland-based, Mars Water aka Ponny Kosmas. The EP Olympus Mons follows his debut full-length, Here We Are — an album which he wrote one song for each month of the year; each song following the first two were written and recorded in the same month. <a href=”http://marswater.bandcamp.com/track/chills”...
