Today, Zephaniah OHora releases "We Planned To Have It All" (listen/share), the third and final single to be shared in advance of his forthcoming studio album, 'Listening To The Music,' out August 28 on Last Roundup Records. The song is a classic honky-tonk country ballad that makes peace with loss and change. 

"I Like The Way You Talk About The Future", the newest hit from Sam Roberts Band, is an infectious, thick groove with trippy vibes and inspired lyrics. Watch the animated video here.

Next Friday, August 21st, Lotus releases their new studio album, Free Swim, a ten-song hypnotic voyage featuring the best of the band’s strengths, which is to say a sublime mix of rock, funk, disco, and jazz, and - true to form - a healthy dose of catchy melodies and harmonies.

“The backing track for this song is from a piece called ‘Prelude to Play It Like The Record.’ A great piece of music to improvise to on guitar. We looped it, got a great tone from my Nash ‘telecaster style guitar’ on the neck pickup by using my late 1970’s Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier and Full Tone’s Full Drive 2 pedal. We recorded multiple takes and over time engineer Jose Salazar masterfully edited the piece together. He and I take very detailed notes on guitar tones and what we did to get them.
