The gestation period of a goose is 28 days. Mol Sullivan’s first album, Goose, needed to gestate a bit longer. Quite a bit longer, 15 years to be exact. She had to deal with a decade-long affair, not with a man but with alcohol. Along the way she became a new person, which effected everything else. It...
A whisper of wind through the trees, leaves rustling underfoot, a crackling fire, the smell of dirt after the rain. Mother Nature is a thread that weaves through Out of the Woods, a collaboration between Polish singer-songwriter Basia Bartz and British folk guitarist and producer Ben Walker. The instruments these songs showcase take us across the world...
Eric Schaffer sunk his roots into Southern Arizona’s robust Americana scene around a decade ago. He and his band, the Other Troublemakers, have since become standouts for their earthen, bluesy folk sound, running lockstep with the likes of Steve Earle. Earlier this year, the band dropped Dry Lightning, their second full-length album and third overall release. Schaffer’s...
All The Bee sneak up on you. While the music is quiet and seems unassuming, the effect it has takes hold and won’t let go. Kirsty McGee and Gitika Partington sing and play in ways that are outside of the commonplace. Partington has been working in acapella music for year. Her four books of choral arrangements are...
Life. It’s something you just can’t run from. It’s one big whirlwind of emotions, which forces us to face struggles, love, and loss and to make decisions on how we want to live it. Beans on Toast’s new album The Toothpaste And The Tube encapsulates all this and more. It is a real portrait of life, grounding...
In the muddled pathways of the pandemic, the Smoke Fairies looked less at the glass ball, reaching instead for reflecting on lives, loves and losses that formed Carried in Sound. What’s most striking is the way, with the aid of viola player Neil Walsh, they have created a less is more approach that never sounds like it...
Reunited with producer Des Lawson for a first album since 2016’s Astronaut Meets Appleman, much-loved Fife veteran King Creosote (aka Kenny Anderson) is in prime form on an eclectic set. A long time in the making – the central pairing of Walter de la Nightmare and Susie Mullen come from years-old lyrics rediscovered and burnished into fresh...
Following on from her latest album The Greater Wings, Julie Byrne is back with a new EP. And Laugh Cry Laugh is outstanding. One minute 57 seconds is not long enough for the opening track ’22’. I listened over and over again and never wanted it to end, Bryne’s beautiful haunting vocals washing over my soul in...
Sam Beam has been recording as Iron and Wine for over 20 years, so the thought of looking back at his career with a live concert film, Who Can See Forever makes sense. Evolving in much the same way his career has, the film evolved and what has now been released encompasses far more than just an...
“Above all, these lullabies are dedicated to dreamers of all ages, and to the eternal human quest for a good night’s sleep”. These few words perfectly encapsulate the soul of Abigail Lapell’s first entirely solo recording Lullabies, which explores this most intimate form of storytelling. For centuries, these bedside songs have carried the promise of safety and...
In what has become a November tradition, Guru Singh – the Fretboard Journal‘s favorite guitar-loving yogi and spiritual...
