“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...
The strange days are over. Thea Gilmore survived a rancorous divorce with an album documenting that toxic relationship, Afterlife released under the name Afterlight. But now she returns with an album 25 years in the making, and one markedly self-titled, Thea Gilmore. While it is not a work designed to divide her audience, it will in the...
by Bob Fish • 13 November 2023 • Comments Off on Album | Kristen Grainger & True North – Fear of Falling Stars In a world that demands the ability to pigeonhole bands, Kristen Grainger & True North make life difficult. Their album, Fear of Falling Stars doesn’t fit easily into a particular box. Especially since a couple of the songs...
Laura Veirs’ music has been intensely personal in recent times. 2020’s My Echo? was the sound of her marriage breaking up, while 2022’s Found Light was a reflection, a record about what comes next. But now Veirs, as she reaches 50, is asking whether – musically at least – anything comes next. Phone Orphans is an album...
Amy Hollinrake has her feet planted in two worlds. She is an English feminist singer-songwriter combining folklore and mythology with contemporary sounds and instruments that are both contemporary and traditional. Creating a head spinning mix of yesterday and today, Sad Lady Songs Vol. 1 illustrates the way to successfully merge worlds often thought to be at odds...
A dreamer, a drug dealer, a lover, a man caught up in the hand life has dealt him, desperate to escape. Musicians are storytellers and on his new album, Dylan LeBlanc tells the tale of Coyote, a man drawn from poverty into the Mexican drug cartels, now seeking freedom from this dark world. The listener is taken...
How do you define who you are? To say Ebony Lamb is a recording artist simply doesn’t do her justice. She’s also a preeminent photographer, whose images of New Zealand’s literary figures and independent music scene gave her a certain cachet. In addition, she has also released three albums with the band Eb & Sparrow. While the...
I first stumbled upon Mali Velasquez by chance, taken in by her album art. It was a painting of three figures, two adults and a child between them, coloured in the yellows, pinks, and browns of an old family photograph. When I pressed play the song that followed felt like a continuation of the image, the shaking...
Recently struggling to sleep, I turned to Convocations – Sufjan Stevens’ 2021 49-track instrumental album, written in the wake of his father’s death. I was taken aback by this subtly inventive two-and-a-half hour, five-part song cycle. It came only one record (2020’s technicolour The Ascension) after 2015’s spartan Carrie & Lowell, which ruminated on the passing of...
The music of Jack Cooper’s current band Modern Nature bears little resemblance to the music he made as half of Ultimate Painting. There really is no standard path that leads from there to No Fixed Point In Space. The shift in direction over the last few years has been seismic, a point that can be made perfectly...
