We’re so thankful to artists and producers taking the time to get in touch with us. Granted, the mailbox fills up with unwanted newsletters, but here’s a gem you need to know about. I’m talking about the debut solo LP from Orange County native Jacob Freddy. After having played in some bands down there he’s now located in New York, but the songs on Songs From a Quiet Aliso Viejo Wasteland are so imbued with nostalgia for a long gone California life.
