E.S. Posthumus
Makara |
| Electronic: Pop Crossover |
| You probably just heard this ensemble’s collaboration with rapper Jay-Z featured at the Super Bowl. Here, you can hear more heart-thumping anthems that blend classical, world influences, and electronica. |

Red Molly
James |
| Country: Americana |
| On their latest release, Red Molly delivers an eclectic, exciting mix of originals, cover songs by well-known artists, and songs by up-and-coming writers. Recording with a drummer for the first time, the ladies delve into some darker material, yet balance it with some hopeful, playful songs. |

James Dupré
It’s All Happening |
| Country: Contemporary Country |
| The YouTube sensation steps away from his webcam and journeys into his first proper album, trading his lone acoustic guitar for a talented team of top-notch musicians. He promises to bring country music back to its roots, and even add a touch of class. |

| Whispering Pines
— Family Tree |
| Rock: Roots Rock |
| Hold on to your beards. These roots-rockers will take you in a lot of different directions (Southern rock, honky-tonk, classic rock), but they always come back to the combination of dark-twanging guitar and gravely vocals that, against all odds, give these songs polish. The lyrics stray away from cliche, the instrumental sections are wide-open but not overly so, and though the entirety of this album will have you wondering how an act that should have been touring with the Allman Brothers back in ‘73 somehow got transported to modern Los Angeles, you won't have to worry about things slipping into tribute territory. |

| Project Trio
— Project Trio |
| Classical: Chamber Music |
| Beat-boxing flutists. Percussive string players that could give the folks in the Turtle Island or Kronos Quartets a run for their money. Amazing compositions. Spirit. What more could you ask for? On Project Trio’s third outing, they expand upon their intelligent fusion of classical, jazz, and pop, pushing it into more energetic and experimental territories. Oh, and did we mention the Guns N’ Roses song? |

| Elephant
— In the Moon |
| Folk: Jazzy Folk |
| Straight out of Cork: armed with witty, insightful lyrics and an upbeat sound that evokes elements of 60’s folk mixed with peppy modern folk groups like The Decemberists and Belle & Sebastian, this album has a clean, full mix and plenty going for it. With lead vocals from Catherine Ireton, who recently collaborated with Belle & Sebastian leader Stuart Murdoch on the “God Help the Girl” project, the vocals are the clear highlight of many of the songs, while the occasional violin or trumpet help spice things up in the instrumental department. |

| You might know Ben Hubbird as a seasoned customer service-er, taking your calls in stride without fail. By night, he takes the stage as Ben Moral, one half of Portland’s beloved folk rock veterans The Morals. While boasting such stalwart influences as Elvis Costello and Mountain Goats, they craft their songs from scratch and don’t resort to any gimmicky sound-alikes. With their longstanding DIY aesthetic, they’ve been known to appear as an acoustic duo at house shows, or as a full band at rock clubs. While their incisive songs range from immediately hummable to the more woven vocal-interplaying type, the melodies are always accessible and the lyrics are reassuring without being overly sentimental. Plus, they’re giving away 3 songs from their EP (that’s FREE folks), so you should at least snag those while you can. |
