Hot Track: Luke Rathborne “Dog Years”
We’re not sure if Luke Rathborne is worthy of the John Lennon and Elliott Smith comparisons bestowed upon him by at least one other publication, but “Dog Years” sure is a nice little ditty for a sunny afternoon. Kind of makes you want to stop what you are doing and roll around in the grass for awhile. Look out for rathborne’s two new EPs Dog Years and I Can be One.
