"Don't Shoot Guns Down" & "Free" by Sault

Song: "Don't Shoot Guns Down" & "Free"
Artist: Sault
Album: Untitled (Black is) and Untitled (Rise) (2020)
Commentary: Sault released two cool albums last year: Untitled (Rise) and Untitled (Black is). In researching this post, found out they had another this fall but it was only "available" for 99 days? What?! Membership is unclear but may feature some other musicians I've posted: Little Simz and Michael Kiwanuka

"Talkin' Like You (Two Tall Mountains)" by Connie Converse

Song: Talkin' Like You (Two Tall Mountains)
Artist: Connie Converse
Album: How Sad, How Lovely (recorded in the ...70s? released in 2009)
Also try:  Kimya Dawson
Commentary: Connie Converse is DOPE. This song isn't one that particularly makes me think of Kimya Dawson, but it's still awesome. CC has an interesting backstory; I hope she found peace.

"Hound" by Salem

Song: Hound
Artist: Salem
Album: King Night (2010)
Commentary: I really liked Fires in Heaven (2020), but the two dudes apparently did their third trio member (Heather Marlatt) dirty, so, idk. Selfishly, I hope they all make music again.
