Pinegrove “Marigold” (Rough Trade, 2020)

February 7, 2020 Clint West 0
In 2017, Pinegrove founder and principle songwriter Evan Stephens Hall issued a statement saying that a woman with whom he’d had a brief relationship, had accused him of “sexual coercion”. The band’s ‘Skylight’ album was put […]

The Epstein “Burn The Branches” (Zawinal Records/PinDrop Records, 2020)

February 7, 2020 Harold Hogan 0

February 7, 2020 Sean Hannam 0
If there were an award given for the most earnest album of the year, then ‘Lessons of War’ by Matt McGinn would be a shoo-in. For his fourth record, the Irish singer-songwriter has collaborated with musicians […]

David Keenan “A Beginner’s Guide To Bravery” (Rubyworks, 2020)

February 6, 2020 Linda Jameson 0
This is not a beginner’s guide to anything. From the outset it’s clear that David Keenan is an accomplished singer, nay poet, who is confident in his style and ability. Every song on ‘Beginner’s Guide to […]

Derek Hoke “Bring The Flood” (Independent 2017)

September 25, 2017 0

Kaurna Cronin “Euphoria, Delirium and Loneliness” (Songs and Whispers, 2017)

June 27, 2017 0
Kaurna Cronin is a youthful Australian singer-songwriter. His bio attests to a number of Antipodean folk awards won, yet this, his third album, is very much an exercise in subtle guitar pop/rock. Cronin has a polite airy […]
