Rodes Rollins: The Cowgirl Poet
I love a Spaghetti Western vibe, and Rodes Rollins has that in spades, but what I love more is a story. Rodes has a beautiful way of turning her songs into little stories that come off as dreamy little morsels.

No truer example of this came in 2014, when I came across a video from The Wild Honey Pie’s channel called “By My Side” from Great Good Fine Ok.

Fast forward to 2018, the Brooklyn-based synth-pop duo has been a staple in my Spotify playlists and in the music scene as a whole.
