The Prickly Pair unveils the untamed odyssey “Wilderness”
The Prickly Pair, comprised of Mason Summit and Irene Greene, have released their latest single, “Wilderness.” The musical composition takes the audience on a sonic voyage through indie Americana. It was penned during the duo’s nomadic cross-country odyssey from Los Angeles to Nashville, with an interlude in the dusty roads of Durango, Colorado, to record amidst the rugged landscapes. The track “Wilderness” is thematically linked to their previous release, ‘Long Gone,’ as it explores the enigmatic pursuit of isolation.
The musical composition “Wilderness” portrays an anonymous protagonist’s footsteps as they traverse the wilderness, ultimately succumbing to its allure. The combination of Mason Summit’s guitar strings sets the tone, and Greene’s haunting vocals create a sense of intimacy and a narrative reminiscent of a modern-day ballad, complementing each other brilliantly. The rhythmic heartbeat of Jim Doyle’s percussive drums and Luisa Marion’s evocative fiddle strokes make the song a tapestry of sound that envelops the listener in its rustic embrace, showcasing the musicians’ craftsmanship and skill.
Inspired by Chris McCandless’ tragic tales of adventure and solitude, “Wilderness” was expertly mixed by Oliver Roman and professionally mastered by Bobbi Giel at Welcome to 1979, demonstrating The Prickly Pair’s commitment to their craft. The duo’s upcoming performance alongside Jeff Plankenhorn at McCabe’s Guitar Shop promises to captivate audiences with emotive storytelling and mesmerizing musicality, encapsulating the essence of yearning and the irresistible pull of the unknown.
The Prickly Pair adeptly traverses the emotional terrain with a distinctive fusion of exceptional artistry and contagious energy, leaving audiences entranced with captivating lyricism. Its excellent work of musical art caters to the discerning tastes of audiophiles who seek outstanding sound quality. The music invites listeners to embrace the alluring yet capricious nature of the wilderness while simultaneously venturing into the unexplored realms of creativity and imagination.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
