by Jonathan Frahm • 11 April 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | Christine Sweeney – Anywhere, Anyway Photo by Shannyn KTChristine Sweeney’s Heart in a Hurry is a culmination of parts. Musical that would normally be perceived to clash despite their shared roots—R&B and folk—feel right at home on the album. It’s the New York singer-songwriter’s first LP since 2014....
Since the release of Yesterday Is Gone in 2020, Dana Gavanski has been through the wringer, making When It Comes virtually a new beginning, albeit one that almost didn’t happen. During the pandemic Gavanski lost her voice. With no tours, writing a new album became an incredible challenge. Lost in the inevitable isolation and unable to speak above whisper, “… it was...
David Ford and Annie Dressner, both acclaimed solo artists in their own right, started collaborating, writing, and touring together in 2022. The result was an album of lush duets finished in just two days, 48 Hours, and their upcoming Summer Holiday tour. We met over Zoom on a sunny Saturday morning to discuss their album, their musical...
by Duncan Martin • 17 April 2022 • Comments Off on Loris and the Lion – Mockingbird https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze1J-Z8qogU Today’s session video is a second track from one of my favourite EPs from last year Jorinde and Joringel by Liverpool duo Loris and the Lion. This track, ‘Mockingbird’, shows off the duo’s more electronic/experimental side with Georgia’s vocals and playing being processed...
There’s not a straightforward narrative to Abigail Lapell’s new album Stolen Time. It courses a path that wanders a bit, not because straight lines don’t make sense, it’s just that quite often our paths seem to avoid the straight and narrow. Sometimes to tell a story you need to show a million little details before you get to...
by Jonathan Frahm • 14 April 2022 • Comments Off on Video Premiere | Ana Silvera feat. Alan Hampton – ‘Early Frost’ Celebrated for her ride between the line of alt-folk and bluegrass, Ana Silvera’s ‘Early Frost’ is another feather in the cap for this progressive songwriter. The tune sets a stunning vocal performance from Silvera front-and-centre, dueting with Alan Hampton,...
by Alice Sage • 13 April 2022 • Comments Off on Album | Calexico – El Mirador A low-key, effortless musicality permeates Calexico’s 10th studio album. There is a confidence in being able to create something so musically complex and endearingly simple. Differing from song to song and mingling together in each track – voices, themes and rhythms shift playfully from...
Combining Hannah Peel with Paraorchesta is one of those feats of attraction that cannot be denied, and The Unfolding, the fruits of their labour, is a masterpiece that defies genres. Peel began her career as something of a folk artist, although her first release in 2010, Rebox, was a collection of music box recordings of Soft Cell, New Order...
Jerry Leger knows how to write a song, and the 11 on Nothing Pressing clearly illustrate a man with a sense of humor, a sense of taste and a sense of just how weird the last two years have been. Though recorded in three different contexts (two songs are basically four-track demos while three more were cut live in...
We all know the old saying “never judge a book by its cover” but does the same extend to albums? A lot of us play music these days through streaming services and probably don’t pay too much attention to album sleeves that often, but I would ask you all to make an exception with Midlake’s For the...
