Picture a calm summer afternoon of waves rolling by at the beach. Now imagine the sun is waning and the backdrop of the world is a bright and vibrant collage of colors, and all the while there is new, clean and clear-cut music playing as friends dance around having fun.

Newton Faulkner encompasses all of this imagery with the crispness of a lost sound of music that is brought back in his latest album, Hand Built by Robots. His voice edgy, the music of acoustic guitar heavy, and the melodic beats get heads bobbing and feet tapping.

The second track "I Need Something" is one to really listen to. With the opening line of "I need something to believe in, because I don't believe in myself," it is easy to see that Faulkner wants people to get connected with his music on a more personal level. Faulkner is relatable in his songs, which makes this album so enjoyable.

Other songs to listen to on this album: Feels Like Home, Sitar-y Thing, Straight Towards the Sun, Aging Superhero, and Lullaby
