You wouldn't know that this weeks albums are less than ten years apart on first listen but they are. This week we tackle Flood by Hippo Campus, the most recent release that we're covering this week. While we both agree it's not the strongest album in their discography there's still plenty of beautiful melodies, searching lyrics, and true friendship that shines through on their first album released with Psychic Hotline. After that we jump into A Drink After Midnight by The Country Side Of Harmonica Sam. With their sweet blend of blues, swing, doowop, and old style country (specifically from 1959-1961) they blend pedal steel, guitars, and longing country vocals to create one of the most vintage country sounds and all the way from Sweden? That's right! To learn more just tune in and kick back with us on another episode of No Singles.

We're back at it again people. In today's episode we're talking two albums that are very distinctly from two cities in the US that have become known for adopting their respective sounds. First up is Chicago Bound by the late, great Jimmy Rogers, the very man behind the world famous sound of Muddy Waters. Late nights at Chess Records making odd recordings here and there in the 50's lead to the creation of this album and we're sure glad to discuss it, harmonica solos and all. Next up after that we have Transistor Radio by M. Ward. An album that is distinctly made up of indie guitar licks, and calm vocals that could only come from Portland, one of the most indie rock towns in the US. A love letter to radio and it's ever shrinking ability to provide somebody a full education in music, this album explores influence after influence on M. Wards sound while never losing sight of it's ultimate goal to encourage all of us to keep a bit of radio in our lives. It's all boozy heartbreak and soft radio melodies this week on No Singles.

Today we dive into an album from a solo artist that dropped off the map nearly ten years ago. One of the first artists to ride the wave of bedroom pop when it was first blossoming, (much like the album cover) we discuss Idle Labor by Craft Spells. Piecing together what information we could we dive into the sweet indie guitar melodies dispersed all over this debut album. Afterwards we dive into an album that's been covered a million times and has information readily available for us to dive into. It's The Colour and The Shape by Foo Fighters. We discuss the drama, the alt rock drop D guitar licks, and heartbreak that went into the making of their sophomore album. We had a lot of fun digging into these albums on this episode of No Singles.
