Emissary – The Christian Album
Genre: alternative, hip hop
Emissary: “Music is not about how many records you can sell, but how many lives you can touch.” Apparently, music also is not about who you are, but about what you do. Emissary does music. He plays various instruments, including the mridangam, a percussion instrument. His present album is not religiously motivated. In this case ‘Christian’ refers to the name of a friend.

Saddles – Paychecks & The Guillotine
Genre: alternative, indie, acoustic, folk, rock
Saddles is a band from Phoenix, Arizona. The ‘album’ only contains two songs, but these are a must-hear and thus a must-feature! On their Facebook page they write: “Some Saddles songs are fanciful stories. Some are embarrassingly autobiographical. Others are embarrassingly autobiographical but are disguised as fanciful stories. All of them are a struggle between accessibility and integrity.”
Paychecks & The Guillotine is a name your price download from Bandcamp.
The Narrows – Through Constant Decay
Genre: electronica, progressive, rock
From their Bandcamp page: “Through Constant Decay is The Narrows first EP. It is a dark, brooding collection that touches on post 9/11 paranoia, love, death and the human condition, all explored with a musical arsenal of loops, synths, scratching guitars, heart-pounding drums and melodic clarity.
It is an EP put together with precision and thought, from the songs to the artwork to the photography.”
Through Constant Decay is a name your price download from Bandcamp.
Technology vs. Horse – Bearula: The Bear Dracula
Genre: alternative, experimental, art rock, funk, post punk, psychedelic

Logan Maughon – Take Five
Genre: alternative, pop, rock
From his Facebook Biography: “What started as a small child in August of 1988, Logan Maughon grew to become the most successful manchildish music legend no one’s ever heard of. He would soon become known for phrases such as “Skeet Skeet Shawty”, “I don’t remember that being there”, and “Where are my clothes.. and why is there a statue of Elvis in my room?”. If there is one word to sum up this majestic creature, it is passionate.” This makes two albums from artists based in Auburn, Alabama in one edition of Sound Sunday!
Take Five is a free download from SoundCloud.
