Mars Hill Chicago, Illinois
Mars Hill is a rejection of the relentlessly loud and unvaryingly fast.
The group, based in the upper-Midwest,
typically consists of John, Neal, and Chafe. Together, their guiding principles are to exert patience, explore the spaces between notes and allow the songs to evolve, whether in dynamics or structure, from one performance to the next.

All the Roads that Lead Us Home [2015 Album]
by Gaelynn Lea
Gaelynn Lea won NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, and it's easy to see why. Haunting, beautiful country songs, laced up with weeping fiddle lines.

Hushed, low-lit, folk-based music from Wales that recalls Mojave 3 at their most beautiful.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
