To cut me down
To cut me down

Here's another nice find from Tiny Engines: Minneapolis group Strange Relations. "Say You" is the lead single from their upcoming album Editorial You and it's dreamy, ethereal and catchy. The follow up "LIN" leans a bit more of the shoegaze side, and they both remind me a lot of that 4AD sound; Cranes, Cocteau Twins, Lush, Slowdive and the like.

Most of Wyatt Blair's music sounds like 80's movie soundtrack rock. Think Rick Springfield and "Jessie's Girl" with a touch more glam and you'll get there. His 2016 album Point of No Return is a hoot, and perfect for an end-of-summer afternoon.

Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
That you’re alive and have a soul
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m alive
She’s the tear in my heart
I’m on fire
She’s the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I’ve ever been
The songs on the radio are okay
But my taste in music is your face
Truly my fave TØP song. Maybe I shouldn't have picked "Trees" last time (shoulda gone w/Keith's fave, "Ode to Sleep" or even "Guns for Hands" or "Fake You Out" or - oh god Vessel is such a good album). Of course, "Tear in My Heart" is from Blurryface, also an awesome album, if slightly less perfect end to end than Vessel. Seeing them at ACL about 3 years ago was amazing. I can't wait to hear what Tyler and Josh come up with next. Anyways, this song is rad and suits a lot of different moods & purposes for me, including remembering my first tattoo, and second trip to New York.
