By Jason Grishkoff on Feb 28, 2018 | Nothing too fancy here. Just a nice intermission track that I quite fancied the sound of. Hopefully you do too. (And yes, that might be the shortest review I've ever written. But so is this song.) read more →

Tags: Editor's Pick, experimental, fyfe, mesita

By Jason Grishkoff on Nov 4, 2017 | Coldplay, is that you? Oh, it's not? Seriously though, the first few moments of this song remind me a lot of Coldplay's "Fix You." The rest, though, is quite different. Scotch Mist caught my attention a few months ago with a wonderful instrumental t... read more →
