SpinTunes #5: Round 4

There is nothing more jam-packed than an album collaborated by various artists. With only one track per musician, there is no room for remixes, experiments, and cutting room floor for fillers – just pure, unpretentious music.

SpinTunes #5: Round 4 is a collection of song entries for the SpinTunes songwriting contest by SpinTown. The challenge is to write a two-minute song for this photo within eight days. The product is an album of thirteen tracks that expands from acoustic rock, theatrical piano, to electro ambient.

Houses by Governing Dynamics opens with steady acoustic guitars. The earthly stripped-drown vocals add texture this soulful rock acoustic.

Edric Haleen’s My Friend exudes a theatrical flair to the collection with fluttering piano keys and lyrical verses. I like the straightforward and simplistic writing that’s relatable yet full of emotions.

Traversing an ambient sensibility, Graven Havens’ Onward to the West is part orchestral and part ambient. While Wash Away by Boffo Yux Dudes featuring Osmium creates classic rock arrangement with a pop flair.

For those who are seeking great track and artists, then this collection is suited for you.
