Moon Shine “The Land In Between”

December 22, 2022 Jonathan Aird 1

An album of two halves – quite literally. ‘The Land In Between‘ is the debut album from Brooklyn-based Moon Shine, more usually known as Angie Glasscock, and its often autobiographical songs veer between two camps – […]

December 21, 2022 Jonathan Aird 2

This world is a real mess. Two things have hallmarked the later career of Neil Young – an incredibly high level of productivity and a legendary embracing of the ramshackle. Both of these are admirable, albeit […]
