Synth strains and blessed indie warbling. A kind of slick War On Drugs under neon lights. Our highlighted track is “Hard To Accept” by Trace Mountains. Straight outta New York per Bandcamp. Not New York City. Which usually means the artist is located too far from NYC to claim residency, even in the fudging sort of way that “greater” Boston artists do when they say they’re from Boston. But not far enough that the artist lives in a whole other orbit. You know, like Buffalo. Go Bills! Off the full-length Into The Burning Blue. Via Lame-O Records.
