Telescopes EP by Pale Blue Dot
On the EP Telescopes, we find funky arrangements and an original sound where the guitar parts seem intuitively placed. These songs by Virginia-based Pale Blue Dot feel familiar and comfortable on the first listen, despite being completely original and with philosophical and poetic lyrics.

Color / Echo EP by The Invisible World
The Missouri-based rock band The Invisible World forges an alternative rock sound with a strong hint of country influence. Every song on the EP Color / Echo is a bit different while maintaining an overall beat-driven rock sound with a good sense of pop craftsmanship.
