SoCal singer-songwriter Kaz Murphy digs into the roots of folk and Americana on OLD PROTEST RECORDS, turning a love of old protest songs into something loose, earthy and distinctly his own. Acoustic guitar sits at the centre, surrounded by fiddle, mandolin and a touch of bluegrass warmth, giving the track the feeling of an old record playing somewhere on a wooden porch. Murphy has been making music for decades, moving through folk, art-rock, country and anti-folk, and that history comes through in the relaxed storytelling and lived-in character of his voice. OLD PROTEST RECORDS is less about polished nostalgia than keeping an old musical language alive, with Murphy weaving fragments of the songs that shaped him into a new, flowing piece. It feels weathered, human and slightly ragged around the edges — exactly where this kind of folk song belongs.

E. Lundquist’s Chasing, featuring Michael Damani, settles into a smooth space where soul, R&B and downtempo grooves meet warm electronic textures. The track moves at an unhurried pace, letting soft synths, melodic guitar lines and Damani’s silky vocals sit naturally together without crowding the arrangement. There’s a calm, reflective quality to the production, but it never feels empty, with subtle layers adding movement beneath the surface. Lundquist has a strong ear for atmosphere here, keeping the groove understated while allowing the melody to carry the emotional side of the song. Chasing feels like a late-night listen, relaxed and spacious, with enough warmth in the instrumentation to keep it grounded. It’s a thoughtful piece of soul-inflected electronic music that finds its strength in restraint rather than excess.
