"It Calls On Me" (streaming below), the title track off New Hampshire-based singer/songwriter Doug Tuttle’s forthcoming sophomore album, is an ominous yet ultimately sweet portrait of a ponderous mind. Soundling like a mix of The War On Drugs and Simon & Garfunkel, the guitar-plained song has the smooth-voiced Tuttle gazing up at the unknown while dealing with the reality before him. While it may be about "panic attacks and the feeling of being at the mercy of some unexplainable otherworldy force," as Tuttle explains in a Noisey interview, it is surprisingly charming and ultimately compassionate. Ahead of the release date of ‘It Calls On Me’ on 2/19, Doug Tuttle plays at Lillypad on 2/27 and Artspace on 2/28. – Zach Weg
