Amelia WilcoxBetter VersionsPop, ElectronicEP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)This was my first solo EP and I wrote/recorded it in my little apartment. I wanted to create a set of tracks that fit together, and was excited to lean into a "pop" sound. I like to think of these songs as "love songs" that are as much written to myself as they are written for the people who are most important to me.United States of AmericaVermontBurlingtonhttps://ameliawilcox.bandcamp.com/releases

Wild BranchHide & Go SeekSinger-Songwriter, AmbientEP (5 tracks or 20 minutes)I recorded this year's submission using only self-built slide guitars (two of which appear in the cover art). I almost named it "COVID Moods", but then decided I was sick of everything being defined by the pandemic, so thought the better of it. This one is kind of a mixed bag.  There are a few singer-songwriter kind of things I wrote interspersed with instrumental "ambient" tracks. If there's a common thread, I would say it is something like my inner emotional journey over the last couple of years. There's some anger and foreboding, some sadness and perhaps just a touch of hope!United States of AmericaVermontColchesterhttps://soundcloud.com/forrest-gardner-941541978/sets/hide-go-seek
