Choice 5 for August
Our Choice 5 for August 2015 features some of the most diverse music we’ve put together in one feature, with four albums and one EP from artists around the world.
Wasted Puppets draws influence from classic rock acts while adding their own special twist to the mix. The Finnish quartet’s debut album, Puppet Show is catchy and upbeat throughout with some standout tracks being “Black Tar Medicine” and “Your Mother Knew I Was Bad News”.
Out Comes Woman features a cool mix of eclectic music composed by singer-songwriter Monique Mizrahi, who performs under the name Honeybird. A multi-instrumentalist, with a particular knack for the bass, Mizrahi ranges from soul to jazz to pop in this collection of unique but honest songs.
