A follow up to Eg, X Ambassador’s three-song project released earlier in 2021, “My Own Monster” is also the first song off the band’s upcoming third album, The Beautiful Liar, out later this year, and was inspired by Harris’ owns struggles with personal, professional, and other responsibilities, living out his own choreographed “dance” with the monsters in his head.
There’s a corner in Pennsylvania where timeless guitar-building techniques never go out of style. Where tradition rules and is respected. Where handmade still matters. You can only create guitars with amazing tone when artisans do honest work with care and patience without taking shortcuts. Handmade guitars are special; they have a soul all their own, and you can hear it in the music they create. Every handcrafted Martin is a stand against a mass-produced, disposable, speed-obsessed world. See, hear, and enjoy the difference.
Jakob Dylan's life’s work continues with Exit Wounds, the brand-new Wallflowers studio offering. The collection marks the first new Wallflowers material since Glad All Over. And while the wait has been long, the much-anticipated record finds the band’s signature sound – lean, potent and eminently entrancing – intact, even as Dylan surrounds himself with a fresh cast of musicians. Available now on New West Records.
