We’re less than a week away from the final 80/35. We’ve got a lot on our minds going into this one – so instead of a lineup preview, we’re giving our thoughts on the state of the festival as a whole. 🎙️ linktr.ee/prettyfort – at Breckenridge, CO

What better way to get back on that review grind than to cover every genre ever? 🐸 Kyler Boss’ ‘Omnitone’ is another exploration of classical, jazz, electronic, djent, and everything in between. Listen to PFW ➡️ linktr.ee/prettyfort

Perhaps the most mundane opening to any PFW episode ever! 🙏🏼 We’re getting experimental this week with Goyf @ Bodiah’s split EP! This is NOT chill beats to study to. 😳 Check it out ➡️➡️ bit.ly/3kzhRkU

Pictoria Vark jokes that she’s “the Carmen Sandiego of indie-rock.” The songs on her excellent debut ‘The Parts I Dread’ take her from Brooklyn streets to Iowa prairies. Read Why she's our latest Artist You Need to Know. trib.al/qStjVfq

Let’s put it this way, we’d consider at least HALF the songs here to be standouts.🔥 Elizabeth Moen (@emoenmusic) is back with ‘Wherever You Aren’t’, an LP that vibes, rocks, moves, grooves, and does it all impressively well.💯 Our thoughts ➡️ bit.ly/3vVN1ot
