| Ryan Adams becomes a Prisoner
Valentine's Day is in the rear view mirror and the warmth of the spring is on the horizon. February brought a sheet of ice, but it also brought a blizzard-sized pile of new music.
North Carolina rocker Ryan Adams is back in the fold with his latest album Prisoner [February 17, via Pax-Am]. Coming in at twelve tracks, this may be Adams' most complete record to date. On the loud single "Do You Still Love Me?", he shows off his guitar chops as he asks a former lover a burning question. Check him out on tour as he weaves through the United Sates this spring and summer.
The winter is almost behind us and the sunshine of the spring is just around the corner, The February Playlist makes a great soundtrack for these last few remaining icy nights.

| Bon Iver crunches the numbers on 22, A Million |
The signs of the fall have began to surface in the form of red and orange leaves, and brisk evening breezes. Signs of new music have also surfaced, and the first batch of the season does not disappoint.
Wisconsin's Bon Iver is creating a buzz with their latest album 22, A Million [September 30, via Jagjaguwar]. Frontman Justin Vernon wrote all ten tracks on the album, most of which contain various looped recording techniques. On the eerie track "10 Death/Breast" Vernon has a message as he proclaims 'love, don't fight it'. Check them out on tour as they roll through Germany, the U.S., France, and the U.K.
Summer is officially behind us and hooded-sweatshirt weather is upon us. As we shift into fall, it's always good to know the iPod is stacked with fresh cuts. The September Playlist makes a good soundtrack for the first bonfire of the season.

| Imagine Dragons use Smoke + Mirrors |
In the aftermath of a bitter cold February comes a heat wave of piping hot new mp3s. The long winter is winding down and the excitement of spring is just around the corner.
Las Vegas alt-rockers Imagine Dragons are creating a buzz after releasing their latest record Smoke + Mirrors [February 17, via Interscope]. While not containing the stadium anthems of its predecessor, the album is still a colorful display of rock. On the single "Gold", the band uses a haunting beat and blends it into alternative pop song. Check them out as their massive tour makes stops through the U.S. this summer and features a festival spot at BottleRock.
As the snow begins to melt, the iPod is reloaded with fresh tunes which makes the warmth of the spring seem that much closer.

| American Authors plan to write their own script |
December once again offered up a mountain of snow to keep all the skiers and snowboarders busy. There was also a stocking-load of fresh mp3s that made for the perfect companion alongside a fire and some eggnog.
Brooklyn indie-rockers American Authors are ending the year with a bang. Although their self-titled EP was released back in the summer, the band is riding the waves of their songs into the winter. The folk-pop sound comes out on the track "Best Day Of My Life" and features some good banjo work by James Adam Shellby. Only one show in Huntington, NY, is scheduled for the tour so far.
It's a melancholy feeling as one chapter ends and one chapter begins. This year has brought some exciting, unique, new music, and it appears the future will be just as bright in 2014.
