Crate Digging is a Harmonic Radio show focused on spotlighting great independent music of yester-month, year, decade. Too often, once a release cycle ends, independent releases get relegated to the back catalog as short attention spans quickly move on to the next thing. Join us in giving these releases another listen!
To hear the songs, tune in to Harmonic Radio at 7pm ET / 4pm PT every day between September 30 and October 13! Listen via the player on app.harmonic.fm
A Good Moment At The Wrong Time
Cataldo feat. Your Smith (2022)
Cataldo's Dumber and Older is a no-skip album, but "A Good Moment At The Wrong Time" stands out for capturing the combination of anxiety and excitement of struggling to find the right time to ask someone out. With an immediate head bopper of an intro, AGMATWT is fun and catchy throughout, with enough ear candy and syncopated rhythms to keep the song from ever getting repetitive..
Christina
Your Smith (2025)
Your Smith sings backing vocals on Cataldo's AGMATWT. Her own music is soulful, poppy, and often has a bit of a rebellious edge. In "Christina", Your Smith (casually) offers to help Christina get revenge on a man who wronged her by killing him and dropping his body in the ocean. And you know what? She makes it sound fun!
Round and Round
Eliza Rush (2024)
Singer-songwriter Eliza Rush sings of being afraid to get off the metaphorical hamster wheel in "Round and Round." What starts as folksy and introspective ramps up in intensity as the hamster wheel moves faster and faster before a surprise ending. No spoilers!
Fall
Jess Corbin (2025)
Jess Corbin lends her impressive backing vocals to Eliza Rush's "Round and Round." Her original song, "Fall", is off of Corbin's 2025 EP Slow Time. Her vocals are on full display with a soaring chorus and some fun organ and guitar licks thrown in for good measure.
Outside
Matt Pond PA (2018)
Matt is a prolific artist with more than a couple seasonal and nature-themed releases. We've been digging into his catalog recently and Matt does an incredible of being both musically stimulating and interesting while staying hooky and accessible. This song is a great example of that.
Doomscroll
Liz Miller (2026)
We need protest albums more than ever, and Liz Miller's Devil's Dollars album delivers. Less political than the rest of the album, "Doomscroll" is a protest against algorithms and users being manipulated by big technology companies, all wrapped in a Western Rock wrapper. We - obviously - love it.
