For the Record

Matt Maeson	- A Quiet & Harmless Living
Matt Maeson - A Quiet & Harmless Living

A Quiet & Harmless Living is Matt Maeson at his most stripped and unsettled—a record that trades polish for proximity and comfort for candor. It feels less like a debut statement and more like a confession caught mid-thought, where faith, doubt, addiction, and self-sabotage sit side by side with no clear resolution.

Spinal Tap — The End Continues
Spinal Tap — The End Continues

With The End Continues, Spinal Tap do what they’ve always done best: turn rock mythology inside out without losing their genuine love for it. Released decades after Break Like the Wind, the album feels less like a comeback and more like a stubborn refusal to ever stop—an intentionally absurd victory lap that’s self-aware, loud, and unapologetically juvenile.

Ruston Kelly	- Pale Through The Window
Ruston Kelly - Pale Through The Window

Pale Through the Window feels like Ruston Kelly standing still long enough to really look at himself—and inviting the listener to do the same. It’s a record shaped by reflection rather than reaction, quieter than his earlier work but heavier in its emotional aftertaste.

Sombr - I Barely Know Her
Sombr - I Barely Know Her

Sombr works in restraint, letting minimal arrangements, hushed vocals, and lo-fi textures carry the weight of songs that feel half-remembered, like conversations you replay long after they’ve ended.

Jeb Loy Nichols & Cold Diamond & Mink - This House Is Empty Without You
Jeb Loy Nichols & Cold Diamond & Mink - This House Is Empty Without You

This House Is Empty Without You is a late-night soul record in the truest sense—unhurried, bruised, and quietly devastating. Jeb Loy Nichols’ weathered voice drifts through Cold Diamond & Mink’s deep-pocket arrangements like a ghost moving room to room, haunted by love that’s already gone. It’s not flashy, and it’s not trying to be. This is music for after everything else has settled.

Buckingham / Nicks
Buckingham / Nicks

The lone album by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks—released two years before they would change the course of Fleetwood Mac—Buckingham Nicks is a strange, beautiful, and quietly powerful record.

Greg Freeman - Burnover
Greg Freeman - Burnover

Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-day resonance in the eccentric ugliness of the past. His songs all have a palpable sense of place thanks to his urgent delivery and evocative lyricism, which mines history for character-driven tales of violence, loss, and epiphany.

Briston Marony - JIMMY
Briston Marony - JIMMY

According to interviews and press notes, JIMMY is deeply personal — describing the album as Maroney’s attempt to reconcile and explore the dual worlds of his upbringing: the structured environment of Knoxville, Tennessee, and the looser, more free‑spirited influences from parts of Florida.
