Please meet Chris Root if you don’t already know him. Buy / listen to his debut solo album, Wind Made of Kisses (TL-144) here: https://ffm.to/wind-made-of-kisses

a focus on pop hooks, love stories and dark secrets

Spectral Nights

During his fifteen years of record-making under various guises, Chris Root has created music that’s been dependably – but deceptively — sunny. His work with AM-60 and Mosquitos boasted breezy melodies and recounted dreamily romantic tales about chance encounters, stars aligning, charmed lives led on the beaches of Rio de Janiero, in seaside Mexican villages, on the streets of New York City’s West Village. But harbored within his hummable tunes was a hint of melancholy, a longing, that gave his songs a deeper character. – Michael Hill [Read the full bio here].

Please meet Phillip Norman Watson, a lifelong student of the piano and an avid hiker who currently resides in the Pacific Northwest. Mists (TL-143) is a collection of meditations on natural phenomena. It is his first release on Team Love. We think of it as perfect chill. Listen: https://ffm.to/pnw-mists
