Vodka has a few favorite artists that show up over and over again. One of those is the husband and wife team of Sinnober. Over the last year and change, they’ve been churning out a set of magical singles that I hope will culminate in a new LP at some point in the near future.

If you are a fan of beautiful music, incredible harmonies, and lush, yet properly tuned production values, then Ignite The Sky is for you! If you are up…
Read MoreVodka describes In My Room (seen/heard here) from power pop multi-instrumentalist Noah Chenfield as full-on fun. While the subject of the song tends to be tried-and-true material (love y’all!) the feeling of this track is playful. Noah says that this track is: “a love song about a very specific time and place.
