Hippie Sabotage, Drifter: Eloquently captures the bass within the mix. The low end rumble resembles the mood of a sine wave. The guitar creates a textural groove adding more character to the song.

Lord Huron, Ends of Earth: An alternative song having an adventurous spirit about exploring the world we live in with someone we want to do it with. The crescendos add emotion and an upbeat sound.

Odesza, It’s Only ft. Zyra: A melodic single soundtrack, from a statement that things happen, good or bad. Traveling back through historically influenced events, bringing a deeper meaning to the song.

The Lumineers, Angela: Focusing on the idea of living with regrets and the questions that come along with it. A tragic song of “Angela” fleeing from her problems both physically and mentally, hoping she eventually finds her way “home.” Quiet and powerful at the same time, the intricate melodies come together nicely.
