She & Him
I have to say, I wasn’t super impressed when I listened to it. Without M. Ward, I don’t know how successful Zooey would be in the music industry. Nonetheless, it’s a nice listen, but Volume Two wasn’t quite what I was hoping it would be.
I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody’s Business
Ace Enders has been in quite a few projects. From the Early November to his two different solo projects. One of them aptly titled I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody’s Business. It has been six years since his debut release under this moniker. Typically Ace fits under the indie rock style that you would find from a Drive-Thru Records pop/punk artist. However, under this title, he focuses more on his singer/songwriter side, with some pop sans punk mixed in as well. I wish he could come across live as he does on his records, as he never seems to capture the same vibe. Nonetheless, The World We Know has some catchy tunes and I recommend checking it out.

The Unthanks
An interesting alternative folk album with great female harmonies. The Unthank sisters sing well together, and the compositions of the songs are intriguing. There are some that take me a bit longer to get into than others, but the talent is undeniable. Give Here’s the Tender Coming a listen.
