PEAKK – DIY Singer Songwriter Moves With New Reflection ‘WON’T LET ME GO’

Reveries for the laziest day of the week

6 September 2026

Artist: PEAKK
Who: The moniker of a DIY
singer-songwriter named Devin.

TUTV: I don’t know much, but enough to listen, to this musician. He mailed me some songs that sit “somewhere between indie rock, alternative and indie folk, with influences ranging from
Bon Iver and The Neighborhood to The 1975 and David Kushner.” and who writes songs as he quotes for the almosts, the maybes & the memories.

Won’t Let Me Go is the musing that caught my ears’ attention. Its darkish acoustic tone, reflective moodiness, and melancholic vocals got me in a self-rumintive headspace.

Let’s have the music do the talking.

Enjoy.

Reveries for the laziest of the week

30 August 2026

Band: LAMBCHOP
Who: Nashville‘s crooner, balladeer and
troubadour Kurt Wagner‘s collective.

Pitchfork:“Kurt Wagner reinvents his band yet again, this time slimming down to a bare-bones acoustic setup and stripping away the studio artifice. But his storytelling remains as expansive as ever. While Punching the Clown is the most mysterious and disquieting album in Lambchop’s discography, there’s a triumph in it also being their most emotionally direct.”

Sit down, make yourself comfortable
and enjoy the sound of silence.

American singer-songwriter star SHERYL CROW is gearing up
for her 13th full-length. It’s titled Pick You Up and will show up

FREEDOM BUS is the first single and features
vocals from young songsmith Jesse Welles.

Crow wrote the song with her musical husband, guitarist Jeff Trott, during weekly
sessions at Crow’s home in Nashville: “We’d get together, eat lunch and bang out a song
in two hours,” she says, “fully finished, and do a little demo of it, and then go about our way.”

“I do not take freedom lightly, because our freedom has
been paid for in the lives of others throughout history,”

Reveries for the laziest day of the week

9 August 2026

Artist: BRANDON FLOWERS
Who: The charismatic Californian
frontman of The Killers

Track: TIGER’S BLOOD
Newest single from his 3rd solo album,
named Thrasher, out on August 21st.

The LP is recorded in Nashville, the mecca of country music, with some renowned
country musicians. Rooted in his formative childhood years in the small town of Nephi, Utah, the timeless sonic approach proves to be the ideal home for Flowers’ most personal and vulnerable songwriting yet.

TUTV: An avid Springsteen-esque flow and Flowers’ distinctive
romantic touch induces melancholic sentimentality.

“Last thing that I heard/ You were doing okay. I still smile when I remember us in younger days/ The things that we can’t explain/ Roll on like a runaway train/ Into the fire and out of the frame/ Wild and gone like a runaway train.”

Artists: TWIN TEMPLE
Who: Los Angeles-based spouses who
describe their music as Satanic Doo Wop.

The pair will launch their new, 3rd album, named
Doomed Lovers on October 9th. More info here.

TT about the new album: “We wanted to push ourselves creatively and expand the
production further than we have before, drawing inspiration from the lush orchestral productions of Roy Orbison, The Ronettes, and The Shangri-Las, and added in some Countrypolitan flair. We wanted to make something as beautiful as we possibly could,
of course with our dark spin on things.

“The truth is, this album was made during one of the darkest periods of our lives. We had been struggling with grief, health issues, addiction, and depression. But day by day, going into Sunset Sound, making music with incredible people who believed in us, and being surrounded by that creativity slowly brought us back to life. We started smiling and laughing again. I was becoming alive again. It connected us to why we fell in love with music in the first place and became our most personal album yet.”

The first single is the title track Doomed Lovers.

60s teardrop love melancholia.
Think Nancy Sinatra and Brenda Lee.
