December 24, 2020 Guy Lincoln 1

Josh Geffin “Islands” (Culture Recordings 2020)

December 22, 2020 Guy Lincoln 0

‘Islands’ is Josh Geffin’s latest release, a four track EP of spare, brooding and highly affecting Indie tinged folk. That Geffin may still be some way short of being a household name, even in the […]

J.E. Sunde “9 Songs About Love” (Vietnam, 2020)

December 1, 2020 Guy Lincoln 0

‘9 Songs About Love‘ is JE Sunde’s third solo record and what a supremely melodic pop-folk treat it is. It’s simple, wide-eyed loveliness may surprise, considering the LP was born from Sunde’s realisation that he […]

AUK’s Chain Gang: Jesse Dayton “It’s Like a Possum Ran Over My Grave”

November 30, 2020 Guy Lincoln 0

I didn’t know that ‘Wristband’ song before and, if I’m honest, I never much cared for Paul Simon, so I’m juggling this catch from Tim already. Having listened to the song I wasn’t immediately sure […]

Tyler Ramsey “Found a Picture of You” (Fantasy Records, 2020)

November 23, 2020 Guy Lincoln 0

Tyler Ramsey has been pursuing his solo career now for long enough and with sufficient rigour for us to approach his music without any thoughts of his previous band. The new covers EP ‘Found A […]

Finn Bonel “Spectral Songs”

Album Reviews
January 20, 2021 0

A worthy downer folk collection that flattens the spirits nicely. Louche, stoner-esque , psych-folk is served up piping lukewarm (in a good way) by South Londoner Finn Bogel. Beck Hansen is a significant influence here; […]

Chuck McDermott “The Thing About America” – Listen

Tracks
January 20, 2021 1

There’s no magic coincidence as to why this song is our feature today.  Chuck McDermott has crafted a single that looks at his homeland with an eye to clarity rather than rose-tinted celebration.  It comes […]
