In the four years since Itasca’s Spring the world has changed completely, so there may be no antecedents for Imitation of War. It is an electric album, but one with a delicacy unlike anything else heard this year. It exists out of time even as it has a sense of places and pathways dating back 50 years or more. Swirling...
by Ian Parker • 2 February 2024 • Comments Off on Album | The Miserable Rich – Overcome Tough times can overcome you, and they can be overcome. Every story is different, but the chances of finding a way through are much stronger with the love and support of family and friends. And that was the backdrop for the reforming of...
Since rising from the ashes of previous band Stillhouse a quarter of a century ago, Chatham County Line have been presenting their modern take on the bluegrass tradition to a devoted fan base across the world. Hiyo is their 11th studio album and sees the back expanding their horizons and fleshing out their sound with synthesisers, drum...
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.
