Buffalo Hunt, The Naps, Tearjerk

Three local geodes collide at FSG, converging shimmering indie rock, slide guitar country/Americana, and reverberating psychedelia. Stephanie Hunt spearheads the session with her genre-morphing solo project, Buffalo Hunt. Among honky-tonk snippets and synth-driven singles, the Shakey Graves collaborator offers Ambitions of Ambiguity, a 10-track delight commanding cavernous soundscapes and alt-rock leanings. Quartet the Naps teases jaunty, fingerpicking, and toe-tappin’ tunes via 2021’s The Wheless Sessions, while Tearjerk’s Vanessa Jollay unveils mellifluous dream rock with latest EP, Face to Face. – Kriss Conklin
