Kris Mars flips the classic XX “Intro” and it takes. No denying “Conversation With Myself” is hungry.

Former Hot Water Music guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Chris Wollard has recently released his first solo record. The Gainesville native shows us a different side from his well known punk rock roots. Chris Wollard & The Ship Thieves intertwines folk, acoustic, and alternative rock to create infectious melodies and ear-grabbing rhythms. “Same to You” is an upbeat and driven song, offering a melody that attracts your attention right away. I listened to this album several times while driving across the United States and there is something about Chris’s voice that offers a rare verisimilitude to its listener. Contributed by Trevor Meyer

Piers Faccini takes us all on a trip with the expressive “Tribe”. The track’s worldly, soulful and almost retro sound captivates from it’s initial measures.

I was Dolby’s A&R guy at Capitol when “She Blinded Me With Science” came out. The Golden Age of Wireless album was already released but when Thomas played “Science” for me, there was no way we could wait. I suggested a special release for “Science” which Thomas agreed to. The song went to #3. His first studio album in 20 years drops today. It’s really good but mostly pretty quiet. The dancy “Spice Train” contains lots of the fun we remember Thomas for. It’s so good to have him back and making fine music again. Sure I’m biased but if you’re a Dolby fan, I doubt you’ll fault me for this pick. Contributed by Bruce Rave

Electro outside the box. Composer/producer Anchorsong is Masaaki Yoshida and “Ghost Touch” is the flip side on his latest double A-side single with “Plum Rain”. If you appreciate an intellect with syncopation, space and minimalist ideas in your music then Anchorsong is someone for your radar. Get familiar.

If you dig anything The Weeknd is doing with pop music, shit if you dig slow jams with soul then you need to give “Alone” a spin. #LUSHASFUCK. The self produced track by JMSN is the strong follow up to his debut song “Hotel”. Somebody get Drake on this shit.

Intergalactic super collective of rock veterans Chris Holmes and Brian Liesegang team up with the one and only Alex Ebert for a stellar collaboration. Folky, anthemic, Ziggy Stardust and commercial are just few words to describe the record which talks the masses.
