We hope you've enjoyed at least one if not multiple songs at this point and if you haven't, well, here's another 7 for you to try. Ninjas never give up. Santah - Springfield [...]
Art credit: Terra Schneider, Maddie Rosemurgy Music is inherently and intrinsically weaved into my life. Virtually everything I do, day in and day out, has a meticulously-chosen soundtrack. My guess, dear reader, is that we share this quality. For many years, I chose my music based on a single facet, be it lyrics, vocals, intricacy, simplicity, or whatever else delighted me at the time. I would study this quality, taking in as much as I could, until that artist or genre was exhausted for me, then I'd move on. As my tastes matured, however, this method [...]

Santah is a Chicago band who just recently released their EP, You're Still A Lover . "Indigo" is a slow-drive track, mixing organ chords and methodic guitar melodies with ease. The real highlight comes 3:40 when an burst of emotion is released unexpectedly. This band definitely got overlooked when they released their LP, White Noise Bed , so hopefully this new EP gives them the attention they deserve. [...]

1. Ken Stringfellow – “Doesn’t It Remind You Of Something” (The excellent first single taken from Danzig In The Moonlight , the new solo album from the former frontman of The Posies and member of Big Star and REM, is a classic country-style duet with Charity Rose Thielen from The Head And The Heart.

Our Music Director, Don yates, calls their third album "their sharpest batch to date, ranging from Thin Lizzy-influenced rockers to desolate, country-steeped ballads."
