Placing authenticity and the emotional value above all else, we’re diving into one of the most endearing and heart-on-your-sleeve recordings in our catalog, Untangle Me.

Featuring songwriter Ryan Necci, A Life Worth Livin' has the soul of classic country, packaged up in a tidy EP that touches the romance and heartache of anyone who has dared to love.

Ain’t It A Cryin’ Shame is the modern country equivalent of the Unflinching Walk, witnessing an ex crash and burn. But in this version, our narrator allows a little smirk of satisfaction to creep in, reveling for just a minute in karmic justice.

From the same pen that wrote the Win Some Lose Some (LMTL-037) and Dancing With The Devil (LMTL-036) comes an empowering modern country single that looks back at a relationship gone bad, but then celebrates her reliable squad that will be there no matter what.

Regret and reflection, an acknowledgment of choices made and paths taken. Modern singer-songwriter americana folk song with sentimental vocals from Ryan Necci (Ryan Necci and The Buffalo Gospel).

This bruiser of a country hit is an anthem for anyone who’s been beaten down only to get back up again.

Outlaw country featuring a smoky, haunting female vocal over a reverb-drenched bar band.

A sparsely populated alt-country ballad that pulls back the curtain on a broken man, written and featuring mournful vocals by Ryan Necci.

Richly textured and soft-spoken, the modern country sound of Philippe Bronchtein’s Catch My Breath explores the shadows while comforting the soul.

The possibilities feel endless with the uplifting, peaceful modern folk sounds of Sparkle Folk (OSPK-084). Utilizing the organic sounds of acoustic guitars and hand percussion, composer Philippe Bronchtein brings out the extra shine by adding tasteful touches of Hammond organ, pedal steel, and atmospheric electronics.

Modern Country vol. 2 delivers a brilliant balance of shiny pop production and hooks, uplifting Laurel Canyon sounds, and that signature Nashville twang with tracks that can crossover into the pop stratosphere while retaining the feel of today’s wide-ranging country landscape.

Though we first got to know songwriter, singer, activist, writer, and overall badass Buick Audra from her hard rock band Friendship Commanders, her recent return to her solo work show how Audra’s powerful voice, intimate lyrics, and message are a through line in all of her music. We chat with Audra about her solo work and upcoming record, being unapologetic and honest, and being heard on her own terms.

We sit down one of the most recent creative partners to join the License Lab extended family, Philippe Bronchtein, and chat about his career as a working musician and touring with The War and Treaty, his recent return to his own music, and how the parameters of production music can inspire creativity.
