A few words about a few local tracks that hit the spot this week

Great American Racer – Desire
The opener to a concept album inspired by the drug addictions that ravish Rust Belt towns, this one uses stargazing guitar chords and weary vocals to convey a sense of plaintive desperation in a way that feels not exploitative, but empathetic.

Ghett Dray – BAGGAGE (ft. Shot Gam)
An instrumental built around twinkling pianos and rumbling bass glides underneath melodic bars that contain Beamers and Rovers, demons and snitches, life and death.

Ryane – Champagne (ft. Hana Daisy)
A carefree party anthem whose hazy synths and fluttering hi-hats (courtesy of Jewels 412) would sound perfect soundtracking a slideshow of blurred, booze-soaked polaroids snapped over the course a long night.
