The Magic Numbers “Outsiders” (Role Play Records, 2018)

May 30, 2018 MD Spenser 0
This courageous and beautiful new album from The Magic Numbers rocks in ways perhaps unusual for this band, which, early on, drew a large following due largely to the beauty of its melodies. This departure is apparent […]

The Wolff Sisters & The Last Cavalry “Cahoon Hollow” (Independent, 2018)

May 30, 2018 Jeremy Searle 0
There’s something of Australia’s Waifs about The Wolff Sisters. Both outfits take folk and Americana as a base and reinterpret  tropes, both make highly melodic, harmonic and listenable music, both are fronted by sisters (three in […]
