MusicAlbum Review: mon cher – tell me babyDenver’s femme trio, mon cher, explore synth-driven dream pop in their new EP tell me baby.

MusicAlbum Review: The Matterhorn Project – TravelerWhen the phrases “prog metal” and “solo studio project” occupy the about section of a band’s website, a couple of red flags go up.

The coarse-voiced busker has found himself a home in unincorporated Boulder County, at a place called Dharma Farm – a small hippie commune near Hygiene, CO. The location, in fact, where Maloney recorded his latest EP – a six track EP that encapsulates the simplicity of a working farm, which, after having been recorded in a ruined grain silo, ‘checks out.’ It’s a bare-boned, extended play that is completely comfortable with skimping on the pleasantries.Cole Peterson · Sep 5, 2021
