The Alt Root Top Ten For April 20, 2022
Picture
Though at its core, Chicamocomico, the upcoming (06-10-22) release from American Aquarium, the album is about loss the band provides a DIY guide for getting out of the sadness, parking in the #1 spot with “All I Need”, a tune about the transformative abilities found in music. The Builders and The Butchers are set to release Hell & High Water (05-06-22), making the list with “Montana” alongside David Quinn, the Chicago musician offering the title track to his recent release Country Fresh and Adam Ezra Group with their new single, “Lay Lay”. Drawing inspiration from the works of Ernest Hemingway, Left Arm Tan debut the title track from their upcoming (05-20-22) Undefeated (their sixth studio album) while Old Crow Medicine Show sing of “Gloryland” from their upcoming (04-22-22) release, Paint This Town. Buffalo Hunt has her upcoming debut (04-29-22) Ambitions of Ambiguity waiting for release, on the list with “Life Not on My Terms” sitting beside Banditos offering “The Waves” from their upcoming (05-20-22) Right On album release as Luther Black and the Cold Hard Facts sings a blue-collar testament to perseverance in “Long Way to Go”, the title track from their upcoming (05-12-22) release.
