Cory Driscoll Finally Released the Much-Anticipated Album, “Eureka Springs.”

Jacksonville recording artist Cory Driscoll’s conceptual album titled “Eureka Springs” is out now. In this nine-track album, Driscoll demonstrates the story of a father’s journey to the heart of America in search of redemption and understanding. The release of “Eureka Springs” follows his 2018 EP “Tropical Depression,” which will be marked with the video premiere of the album’s highlight track, “Ahead Of My Heels,” on March 25th, 2022. Cory was looking for a creative outlet during quarantine, so he collaborated with nine of his musician mates from all around the United States to create the full-length project. All of the musicians were in different locations due to the COVID-19 restrictions. They all recorded individual tracks, which were then assembled piece by piece using file-sharing technology. Each song on the album was built differently depending on input from the band members, resulting in a diverse range of sounds.

“Eureka Springs” begins in a tropical atmosphere and gradually progresses westward toward a more delta-influenced sound and eventually onto the mountain range, where it becomes a blend of modern country-folk psychedelia and other influences. Eureka Springs is named after the Arkansas town that sits immediately on top of a naturally occurring water source that is abundant in minerals. It combines unique sounds throughout, from the tropical beginning “Ahead of My Heels” to the ethereal title track, giving audiences the impression they’ve just traveled from coast to coast. The album concludes with the menacingly melancholic “Anonymous Water.” Long Jump Records will release a limited edition of 300 pressed vinyl records in April, with all proceeds going to charity. Speaking about his latest album and its name, Cory said, “The history of the land made me feel extremely connected to the place and the mythological character of the life-giving spring… it’s replete with poetic language.” “We set out to tour the country from coast to coast and from the heartland of the United States through the flow of the record from song to song,” Cory explains. “That was the thread that ran through the entire composition process.”

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.

“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.

Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.

Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.

If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
