3 Songs: On Repeat (Extended Edition)

Joshua Hedley – “ I Never (Shed A Tear)” (The retro-minded Nashville singer-songwriter is set to release his debut album, Mr. Jukebox, today on Third Man Records.  After playing “second fiddle” as an in-demand fiddle player, Hedley now snags the spotlight with his smooth classic country croon and impeccable songwriting.  He delivers nine timeless country & western originals complimented by cinematic strings and choral-like background vocals, as well as a cover of “When You Wish Upon A Star”, resulting in a more than promising debut album.) http://smarturl.it/inevershedatear

Lume – “Loss Leader” (Themes of death and loss penetrate the Chicago-based post-hardcore trio’s new album, Wrung Out, out now on their new label, Equal Vision Records.  Musically, a sense of dread is marked by their bottom-heavy grooves and noisy outbursts but hopeful catharsis is found in the alternately atmospheric melodies; as heard on the standout single here.  Additionally, Johnny Dang of o’Brother and Spencer Ussery of Big Jesus collaborate on several tracks.) http://lume.merchnow.com/
