by Jonathan Frahm • 5 May 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | Arielle Eden – U-Turns Westchester singer-songwriter Arielle Eden is finding her stride in the pop-country scape. ‘U-Turns’ is a slickly produced tune that confidently meshes organic and synthetic instrumentation. Neither one element hogs the spotlight from the other; rather, they’re evenly tended to by the common thread that...
Peaky Blinders may be over and finished – at least on television, with a film and likely other projects planned for the future – but here to put a bow on it is Anna Calvi’s EP drawn from her work scoring the final two series. Having only recently binged through the show (I was an extra in the final...

The rather lovely EP comprises of three reflective, contemporary folk songs in which Cara draws on themes from John Keats’s epic poem ‘The Fall of...
by Jonathan Frahm • 3 May 2022 • Comments Off on Premiere | AJ Haynes of Seratones – Freight Train In 1904, Elizabeth Cotten wrote her popular folk song, ‘Freight Train’, at just 11-years-old. Throughout her 90 years on Earth, she helped to mould contemporary American roots music and, thusly, is a pioneering face of modern folk and blues. With the...
by Pete Bate • 2 May 2022 • Comments Off on Album | Charles Watson – Yes For his second solo album since time was called on Sheffield’s Slow Club, Charles Watson seems in a bucolic mood. Gone are the woozy layers of 2018’s Now That I’m A River, replaced by a bright straight-forwardness. Yes is a perfect spring/summer record, full of...
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...
