The Avett Brothers may not think so, but they are no ordinary band, and their new, self-titled album proves that point in spades. They have a way of making music that incorporates virtually everything while remaining tinged with folk and country roots. They can rock with the best of them, yet they also can become North Carolina’s...
Hot on the heels of last year’s Onliness, which saw Josienne Clarke recording, reworking and reclaiming a collection of her older songs, comes Parenthesis, I. Thirteen songs about finding who you are through the prism of where you came from and where you’re heading towards. Clarke always says that she only does sad songs, and there’s a certain truth...
When Sam Beam (the man behind the moniker Iron & Wine) was asked for the reasons why he named his seventh solo studio album Light Verse, he spoke about the process of making it “felt like coming out of a tunnel into a kind of light” and he wanted a title to reflect this. It’s very well named...
Humboldt County, California is where Six Organs of Admittance began some 26 years ago, and since 2019 it is again where Ben Chasny resides and where Time is Glass came to fruition.

Magic is a funny thing. When it occurs there’s no stopping it, and Oisin Leech’s Cold Sea is a product of magic. The stars aligned. There’s really no other way to explain it. A pause in the world forced Lost Brothers off the road. A return to Buncrana by the sea led to the songs. One was...
Home. Beginnings. Roots. Memories. These form the common thread that weaves through Loreena McKennitt’s latest musical treasure chest, The Road Back Home. In it, she invites us to look back on her earliest days on the folk scene and lend an ear to some of her first songs – many of which have never previously been recorded...

Grandaddy main man Jason Lytle has always had a country heart, notwithstanding the skateboarding and DIY punk origins of his band’s taped-together indie rock.
