I’ve been taking a deep dive into the Chicago music scene lately, and have been super impressed by what I’ve been hearing. Chicago has a very dark and unique sound (there’s a reason why all the recent signed artists by Matador have come from this city). But mostly, the sound isn’t commercial, and artists choose to build off of each others experimentations. Check it out, and let me know what you think!

Modern country that’s actually amazing. It’s the perfect mix of pop country. I recommend listening to the album Golden Hour (an album that even people who don’t like country music like.)
