Strum, haunt, and set sail: Ultimate Rick Jones' The Color of an Empty Room spins a twangy, Lovecraft-tinged tale of haunted spaces with John Serrano, while Bon Voyage takes a darker nautical turn with an unhinged vocal that brings the narrator chillingly to life. The Kintners' Some Folks offers a quiet folk meditation on inherited damage and the people we become, while The Lazy I delivers haunting alt-folk reborn with rare gentleness and elegant strings. Villahermosa closes things out with a breezy spring-afternoon single, as petals drift and you're gently asked to remain.
