Whitney

Forever Turned Around devale

 It’s a record very much a child of the ’70s. But with sprinkles of country, a falsetto that pairs well with Bon Iver, and a warm and enveloping horn section that feels like the first sweater after summer.

 10 tracks for about half an hour of music. Short songs without choruses repeated until death. They say what they have to say and then move on to the next track. Like music should do.

 Listen to Whitney's Forever Turned Around and experience a warm, heartfelt indie folk journey from Chicago.

Tom Brosseau

North Dakota Impressions sotomayor

 His songs are somehow scenic and engaging representations and have that magical power to drag the listener inside these structures set up by what at this point I want to define more as a storyteller than a singer-songwriter.

 The trilogy is a tribute to what he himself defines as his way of feeling and conceiving the idea of 'home', something he considers the most precious thing he possesses and an emotional heritage he is absolutely determined to preserve.
