I hope it's raining where you are so it adds to the mood of this song.
Similar to Jamison's last release "Real Peach," the lovely and slow acoustic intro of "Through A Glass" sets a tone of introspection, then breaks open to reveal an honest narrat...

I'd never heard of bi-coastal US duo TIDES until this release. Upon doing some sleuthing, I've come to find they started the project a mere six months ago and are already making some big waves (pun intended) in the music world.
Their sound ties tog...

Gosh, this song starts out real safe and easy, and for a little while struggled to win me over. It's that refrain at around 2:15 ("All Is Fair In Love And War") that wins me over. It has a National feel to it with the slightly baritone vocals, and I ...

But then...what did he just say? Did he just com...
