Ian Galipeau Keene, New Hampshire
I write songs about ideas and characters I find interesting. I've always been fascinated by the grey areas in life, and writing music is one of the best ways I've found to explore the nuances.
Ian Galipeau recommends:
Satellites and Frequencies
by The 123's
Catchy melodies, interesting and thought-provoking lyrics, time signature wizardry, and one of my favorite guitar solos ever recorded (on the title track). What's not to love?

Josh and the band manage to fill 9 songs with nostalgia and longing without ever getting depressing. The album mixes Byrds-style country with 60s retro-pop, without every knocking you off-balance.

How Cruel That Hunger Binds
by Dietrich Strause
Dietrich's thoughtful lyrics are alive in his effortless melodies. Each song is beautifully produced, served by instrumentation that varies between intimate and expansive. "Around the World" is a gem.
