If It's Too Loud...

Another short week, but some stuff landed on Spotify so we'll cover a few. Artist : Kristen Hersh Album : Wyatt at the Coyote Palace Quick Description : Kristen Hersh's latest double-album-length affair. Why You Should Listen : Kristen Hersh is a must-listen even in a busy week. Overall Thoughts : Kristen Hersh's new album sounds a lot like solo Kristen Hersh in a lot of ways. That's not a bad thing at all, but it means there might not be a standout track on the album for a lot of listeners, either.

You can watch the video for "Deliver Me Home" below. You People's debut album, Dropouts , is due later this year on Custom Made Music. For more information on You People, check them out on Facebook .
