Way back in the spring, Artist To Watch Paddy Hanna announced his third album, The Hill. So far we’ve heard two songs from it, “Cannibals” and “Colosseum.” Today, he’s back with another.

Gunn-Truscinski Duo, the project of guitarist Steve Gunn and drummer John Truscinski, announced their new album Soundkeeper last month.
