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...
by Jonathan Frahm • 14 March 2022 • Comments Off on Single | I Said Yes – Virginia Oracular UK folksters, I Said Yes, have returned. Their all-new single, ‘Virginia’, is an earnest love song that builds up its tensities with percolative guitar and textured production. It all leads into a fabulous crescendo, replete with subtle horns, synth, and march-worthy percussion...
Photo courtesy of Sideways Media It would be safe to assume that The Accidentals take their Time Out Sessions literally. Compared to the lightning-quick pace of their average tour schedule, these sessions provide a conclave for Sav Buist, Katie Larson, and their noteworthy co-writes to unwind. Shows are an intimate, pared-back affair, replete with warmhearted banter and...
New Jersey singer-songwriter Jason Erie returns with a scorching and fun music video for his new single, ‘Amazon’. The tune is the latest cut from his forthcoming album, Tiny Fires (25 March). The song succeeds the LP’s titular single, itself a touching reflection on time spent in quarantine. Now, Erie is shifting gears; his newest tune has...
by Bob Fish • 18 February 2022 • Comments Off on Album | Lia Ices – Family Album In the same way that Joni Mitchell reflected the California vibe on Blue, Lia Ices mirrors a similar consciousness on Family Album 50-some years farther down the road. Her 2014 album, Ices, marched to a synthetic beat with layered electronics and loops. Having moved west and become...
by Mark Buckley • 18 February 2022 • Comments Off on Album | Hurray for the Riff Raff – Life on Earth 2022 promises to bring a host of new beginnings as the world emerges from two years under the pandemic’s thumb. The world is a very different place from the one that was present last time Alynda Segarra’s band Hurray...
