Szlachetka (@szlachetkamusic) takes us to a destination with his song "Lifeboat". The power of songs, and a tune like this one, has a special magic to transport us to a sense of nostalgia. Tangible and intangible. Austin Plaine (@austinplaine) taps into just that but also the headspace outside the obvious of the song. Both nostalgia-visual-driven artists, remind us in conversation that layers of description always have a secret message that we may not catch at first but the beauty is that we can always discover new elements if we go along in the journey.

Austin Plaine is a Nashville-based artist and songwriter that just released his sophomore album, Stratford. Visit www.austinplaine.com for everything about Austin.
