The Hackles “A Dobritch Did As A Dobritch Should” (Jealous Butcher Records, 2019)

December 20, 2019 Steven Rafferty 0

The second time around the duo of Kati Claborn and Luke Ydstie took a much more collaborative approach to the musical arrangements that support their still lovely harmonies and vocal interplay. Whereas their debut album was […]

The Deer “Do No Harm” (Keeled Scales, 2019)

December 19, 2019 Clint West 1

The Deer are a five-piece band from Austin, TX. They describe themselves as ‘indie folk’, which is slightly disingenuous, because on this evidence they offer far more than that rather limiting label might suggest. Sure, there […]

Chris Landry & The Seasick Mommas “Two Ninety Three” (Turnup Records, 2019)

December 19, 2019 Mike Elliott 0

On their debut ‘One Fifty Five,’ Chris Landry and the Seasick Mommas found a proper balance between moody folk and Harvest-era country-rock. In fact, Stuart Rutherford’s pedal steel is at times reminiscent of the late Ben […]

Philip B. Price “Bone Almanac” (Signature Sound Recordings, 2019)

December 18, 2019 Rick Bayles 0

A winter release seems particularly appropriate for this solo album from Winterpills frontman Philip B. Price. ‘Bone Almanac’ is a chilling and haunting work that’s frequently bleak, given that much of it addresses very current concerns, such […]

Steep Canyon Rangers “North Carolina Songbook” (Yep Roc Records, 2019)

December 17, 2019 Helen Jones 0

Live albums can often feel a pointless affair: a selection of songs you already know usually played to a lesser standard than the studio version, a crowd you weren’t part of, cheering in the background, and […]

Something for the weekend: Son Volt “If I Could”

July 17, 2026 1

Well that’s it from us for this week and we leave you dear reader with a new song from alt-country heroes/pioneers/stalwarts/choose your own noun Son Volt whose latest album Sound Signal Serenades was physically released on […]

Artwork for Bell White album "A sign in the weather"

Bella White “A Sign In The Weather”

July 17, 2026 0

A strong third album from the rootsy Canadian “Appalachian” artist from New Orleans showing raw emotion and a degree of post-breakup positivity. As you listen to each song on Bella White’s new studio album you feel […]

July 17, 2026 0

Jawdropped, a four-piece from Los Angeles, have announced their debut album, Secret To Spare, due 18th September via Transgressive Records / Canvasback. The band has also released the first single, Split Lip, along with a video […]

Interview: What Taylor Bickett is shooting for

July 16, 2026 0

Nothing I Can’t Undo is such a deeply earnest, empathetic and personal album that captures exactly what a solo debut is supposed to be by introducing us, in full, to Taylor Bickett, a 20-something singer/songwriter from […]

Interview: Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry celebrates The Sadies’ Dallas Good and Watchtowers

July 13, 2026 0

Canada has continued to punch above its weight musically since the days of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and the Canuck members of The Band first rose to international prominence in the ’60s, and The Sadies, with […]

Interviews

Interview: Hank Alrich and his sonic explorations

July 7, 2026 1

Like the old sailors of yore, Hank Alrich sure knows how to spin a yarn, though I doubt his are made up or heavily stretched. They keep your attention. I would contentedly sit in an armchair […]

Deer Tick “Deer Tick Volume 1/Volume 2” (Partisan Records 2017)

September 13, 2017 0

In what is a slightly unusual move, Deer Tick have simultaneously released two albums of contrasting styles, their first for four years. Whilst being massively diverse in sound, both records actually do sit together very well […]

The Greatest Endangered Thing “Phosphenes: Volume 1”

May 24, 2024 0

A promising part one that indicates sometimes starting again is worth the risk. You may think that The Greatest Endangered Thing’s ‘Phosphenes: Volume 1’ is only the band’s second release, but there’s actually a pretty good […]

January 11, 2019 1

Rolling Stone Country have got a lovely little piece up today about Josh Ritter’s forthcoming new album which is more political than some of Ritter’s offerings to date, and which features the 400 Unit as his band. […]
