Mt. Kili – Don’t Start A War
Mt. Kili’s ‘Don’t Start A War’ is a rustic acoustic folk track. It’s made of mellow melodies and a raw vocal line. The setting is intimate, the feelings are deeply human and the vocals bare it all. It’s the kind of song that grounds you with its simplistic beauty and casual depth. It is calm but the things that are being sung about can be shattering. It’s the deepest of thoughts that is floated into the acoustic stream. Stripped and just as is, the song calls to mind artists like Nick Drake and Neil Young. Artists who have a remarkable way of carrying emotions and sentiments in their vocals that it’s enough, by itself, to create an ambience. That presence itself is everything. It’s magic. Such a beautiful song.
Valley Taylor – Laika

The landscapes change, the feelings shift and it gets more and more surreal. But you’ll be contained in this dreamy, dazing bubble and it’s the best thing that could happen to you. Taken from the album is ‘Laika’, a track that is a soft aching song about all the ways in which humans feel and fall in love. The backdrop is textured with powder riffs. The acoustic strings are in kind of a free journey forming with intuitive rhythms and progressions. The artist’s vocals are husky baritones that give dimension, soul and spirit to the theme within the soundscape. A beautiful listening space for sure, something that feels like serenity and warm thoughts.
