If you need a sonic companion for deep existential pondering or just a really epic walk through a blizzard, Beatrice Deer’s new album ‘Inuit Legend‘ is your new best friend.

Keyframe by Palette Knife
Palette Knife’s ‘Keyframe‘ is a caffeinated blast of Midwest emo that refuses to sit still, blending dizzying guitar taps with the kind of frantic energy usually reserved for a toddler who just discovered sugar.
