More Than Just a Phase: Said The Sky Drops Nostalgic Sophomore Album, “Sentiment”
After attending high school in the early 2010s, it’s tough not to feel sentimental about Said The Sky‘s new album and the definitive new direction in his sophomore album.

Between appearances by We The Kings, Parachute, The Maine, State Champs and more, the tracklist of Sentiment oftentimes more closely resembles a Warped Tour lineup than anything else. In fact, we’re still wondering how Said The Sky managed to pull a very rare feature from Motion City Soundtrack on the wittingly self-deprecating “Blue Etern...

Esperanza, a 21-year old London-based bi-racial artist, finds herself inspired by Michaux’s work. “Lewis woke me up to the reality of classism, rac...
