June 3, 2021 Mark Nenadic 0

A highly enjoyable collection of kitschy, melodramatic Gothic Americana. Danny Kiranos (aka Amigo The Devil) hails from Dallas, Texas. This fine record is oozing with dark humour. Waits, Cave and Cohen are stirred in liberally to […]

At once nostalgic travelogue, introspective head-trip, and rootsy showcase, Madrid-born Juana Everett’s second album should be her breakthrough record. Past Lives in California swims headfirst through the murky waters of transit, both literal and metaphysical. Bring […]
