The Morning Star
by Daniel Bachman
supported by 24 fans who also own “Leap Frog”
What an album. Dark, disturbing ambient noise tracks sit uncomfortably alongside roughly gorgeous acoustic guitar pieces. Part John Fahey, part Amps for Christ, and still all its own. Anyone who can make an 18 minute noise piece feel like no time at all is a genius.

Landwerk
by Nathan Salsburg
supported by 21 fans who also own “Leap Frog”
Salsburg’s excellent guitar stylings laid carefully over antiquated looping 78s à la The Caretaker for a rich and meditative listening experience. Goes down great with coffee.

Ghost Forests
by Meg Baird and Mary Lattimore
supported by 20 fans who also own “Leap Frog”
Mary Lattimore is a longtime favorite of mine. Her harp playing is often tagged as 'ambient' because it's enhanced by subtle delay and looping experimental treatments and is almost always instrumental, but here it finely is garnished with Meg Baird's achingly wondrous voice, and it is a perfect pairing. There is magical fairy dust in this record I'm pretty certain. Enter the Ghost Forest and be prepared to be enchanted.

Tides of a Teardrop
by Watchhouse (formerly Mandolin Orange)
The forthcoming album from Mandolin Orange blends rustic Americana melodies with aching, orchestral arrangements.

On “Meet Me By the River,” Dawn Landes’s self-described “Nashville record,” buoyant country melodies settle deep into lush instrumentation.

Deep Fried Grandeur
by Ryley Walker And Kikagaku Moyo
supported by 19 fans who also own “Leap Frog”
Hypnotizing and dense jams by some great musicians. It does so without ever becoming too intense for intensity's sake or wanky.
