At various times in the past few years, the NYC-based house producer Galcher Lustwerk has used the alias Road Hog to explore his roots as a Cleveland, Ohio expat. His previous album, On The Lam, included the track "East Cleveland," and now, Lustwerk has dropped an entire album dedicated to the Midwestern city.

Each track on Tour de Hog takes its name from a Cleveland location. "Forest Hill" is a neighborhood, the "Chagrin River" runs through the city, as does "Fairmount" boulevard. But rather than follow in the Sufjan Stevens vein of bringing locations to life through lyrics, as Road Hog, Galcher instead creates tunes that feel more meant to be played as their soundtrack. If you're cruising around Cleveland at some point, why not give some of these namesake tracks a spin at the same time.

Tour de Hog is released on Bandcamp.
