With Riot of the Red, Durham, North Carolina-based artist/musician Lou Hazel delivers a full-length album featuring ten melancholic indie folk songs that shine the sun at any time of day. Laid-back music, subtly arranged with attention to detail, carried by an acoustic guitar and pleasant vocals. Personal, relatable stories—not without humor, just watch the video below—that wrap a comforting arm around you. Beautiful and heartwarming.

Riot of the Red, produced by Saman Khoujinian and Alex Bingham, is out now digitally via Superboco.
