First Impressions of Earth by The Strokes

“When this album was released in 2005, it was maligned by critics who felt the band was turning their back on their original sound. 17 years later, the experimentation has been proven to be a success. In 2022, this is the perfect summer album!” – Ed, IT

The Strokes’ ambitious third album.

SUPERBLOOM by MisterWives

“I’ve been listening to MisterWives for years, and their latest album SUPERBLOOM is the album I’ve been listening to in order to get me moving and dancing even during the loneliness I’m experiencing during the isolation of quarantine. Many of the songs are about coming out of a dark place and finally living your truth and loving life.” – Gina, Circulation

MisterWives is an indie pop/alternative band that has a good mix of songs you can dance to and lyrics that you can relate to.

Please Don’t Be Dead by Fantastic Negrito

“It’s soul, it’s funk, it’s blues, it’s Fantastic!” – Kelly, Kids Room 

This two time Grammy winner connects with the audience and contemporary issues like none other that I’ve heard. The title comes from a near fatal car accident that left him in a coma for 3 weeks. His label dropped him during that time and he stopped making music for 7 years. He came back with a vengeance and we are luckier for it.
