Like any busy music blog, Digital High’s inbox gets hit up with submissions ranging from the ridiculous to the ridiculously good, that this one dude can’t possibly keep up with. So I’m going to batch post the best of the bunch every Friday to help you slip on into your weekends. It’s my chance to spread even more exposure to the excess of deserving artists out there. Enjoy!

CHINCHILLA – “MF Diamond”
