I’m definitely on a nostalgic, smooth rock kick right now, so sit back and think back to summers long passed. Hopefully these albums inspire you to create new memories with the same warm summer vibes.

New Album
Album – Iron
Artist – Post Animal
Top Tracks – Last Goodbye, Setting Sun, Iron
Genre – Psych Rock, Garage Rock, Prog Pop
My take – Big riffs and dreamy detours. This one moves between fuzzy Tame Impala territory and more grounded, Queens of the Stone Age-style grit with a dash of 80’s Americana rock. Tight jams, layered vocals, and kaleidoscopic grooves perfect for sitting on a dock in a summer haze.
New Album
Album – Double Life
Artist – Night Moves
Top Tracks - Trying To Steal A Smile, Daytona, Desperation
Genre – Soft Psych, Indie Pop, Americana-Tinted Rock
My take – Smooth, sepia-toned synth-Americana that sounds like a male version of Stevie Nicks behind the mic. Feels like driving through the Midwest sunset with friends in 1986 with the windows down.
New Album
Album – Equus Caballus
Artist – Men I Trust
Top Tracks – Come Back Down, Ring of Past, Billy Toppie
Genre – Dream Pop, Indie Electronica, Chillwave
My take – More of that 80’s nostalgic vibe on this one but heavier on the synths with gliding basslines, hushed vocals, and grooves that feel like they’re suspended in the warm summer air.
New Album
Album – Velvet Dream
Artist – Rujen
Top Tracks – Velvet Dream, Present Past Futures, Spider Silk
Genre – Psychedelic Soul, Neo-Psych, Alt Rock
My take – Velvet is right—this one’s soft, colorful, and rich with texture like the neon posters under the black light. This goes a little further back to the 70’s with vintage grooves, modern fuzz and disco beats.
