Single of the Week: “Cardinal Feather” by Julie Odell

For those of you following this column every week, you’ll notice that I find myself veering towards anxious music. “Cardinal Feather” by New Orlean’s Julie Odell drew me in immediately, but I didn’t pick up on the anxiety at first. Then I read her bio and she said, “Cardinal Feather was born out of a panic attack.” However, this song does not wallow in the anxiety. It’s really a song of optimism and finding your way through the anxiety. Sonically, Odell sounds like the record that Jenny Lewis never did with fellow Louisianans, Givers. 

“Cardinal Feather” can be enjoyed in all the usual places. It’s the second single off Odell’s debut album, Autumn Eve, due to your local DSP and/or turntable on September 30th, and can be reserved here. 

Single of the Week: Night Terrors by Diet Cig

It’s been FAR TOO LONG since we’ve heard from Diet Cig! Today is your day to hear your first taste of what they’ve been working on the last three years… “Night Terrors” still features Alex Luciano’s signature passionate tremble in her voice, complimented by not just her on guitar and Noah Bowman on drums, but with fully fleshed out production! We have bass filling out the low end, as well as synth flourishes creating a wash of sound. This is the biggest, boldest single from Diet Cig yet!

UK & US East Coast tour dates were just announced, so if you leave somewhere near the Atlantic Ocean, go buy tickets ASAP. The new single is streamable in all the usual places, and you can purchase it on Bandcamp! Oh, and if you wanna buy a gift for your favorite music blogger, I could totally use a new pillow case.
