Rich Clark’s Wayward Sparrow: A Folk Debut from Detroit with soulful guitar.

Rich Clark has said that he creates music primarily for himself, but hopes that listeners connect with it in a way that keeps them coming back. That intention feels honest here. “Wayward Sparrow” isn’t chasing trends or trying to be everything at once. It’s comfortable in its own space, trusting that the right listeners will meet it there.

There is something quietly elemental at the heart of La Rivière Des Choses, as if it isn’t simply being played so much as allowed to pass through the room for a brief moment before continuing on its way. Raffaele Scoccia has always had a tendency toward introspection in his writing, but here that sense feels even more distilled.

And yet there is a contradiction running through it. For all its inward focus, the piece never feels small. Inspired by ideas of time, memory, and the movement of history, La Rivière Des Choses carries a sense of scale that is almost cinematic in its emotional reach. It’s a meditation, yes, but one that keeps glancing outward, aware that the personal and the universal are never really separate things.

"After great success with their Real World Records single “I Rise”, their worldwide hit “TAKEITALL”, as well as their cover of “Hole In The Sky” honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne- they are back with another head banger. “Dark Horizon” will be Plastic Rhino’s heaviest song to date with the most amazing and brutal breakdown. Lead singer Atara Glazer mixes the perfect balance between brutal fry screams and beautiful singing melodies throughout the song, meanwhile Jack Glazer, the co- founder of Plastic Rhino, is also debuting his fry scream vocals on the song as well as his signature guitars and bass playing."

Much of Five. reflects a shift in Selby’s life. His daughters are now all grown up and his focus is turning inwards, his creative voice becoming more assured. You can hear it in the lyrics, in the phrasing and in the way he lets songs develop naturally rather than pushing for dramatic moments. There is maturity here, but also curiosity and a hunger to keep growing.

Much of Amana's musical identity comes from her heritage. Born in Germany, raised around the globe and descended from jazz greats — including her grandfather, bassist Jimmy Woode who played with Duke Ellington — Amana carries this lineage with ease and grace.
