Here is the first matchup:
Pepper Proud - Water
Water has a nice variety of tones and emotions, and a bit of a new agey spiritual vibe with its references to nature and river spirits and themes of going with the flow and eschewing worry. an enchanting and calming listen, even when it goes into bittersweet territory like on the beautiful piano-and-voice closer. i feel like im lying under a tree or floating down a river in the summer when i listen to this.

Vs.
Amigo the Devil - Everything Is Fine
Really fun and dark "Murderfolk" with a bluegrass twinge
