Josh King “Into The Blue” (Independent, 2018)

August 31, 2018 Elise Kennedy 0
Josh King’s solo debut album ‘Into The Blue’ is a deeply personal Americana album, which differs strongly from the indie-rock music he’s renowned for as the front man for the band House of Fools. A lot of […]

Sweet Billy Pilgrim “Wapentak” (PledgeMusic, 2018)

August 31, 2018 Phil Grant 0
It has been three years since Sweet Billy Pilgrim’s last release and it seems that more than time has been left behind. The stripped-down duo of Tim Elsenberg and Jana Carpenter (they used to be a […]

Claire Coupland “On The Other Side” EP (Independent, 2018)

August 30, 2018 Mark Johnson 0
For a self-released EP from an unestablished artist, Claire Coupland delivers a highly professional, and indeed astonishingly polished production. All 5 tracks are strong, individual and, whether it was intentional or not, go straight for the […]

Jason McNiff “Joy And Independence” (At The Helm Records, 2018)

August 30, 2018 Jeremy Searle 0
While never under-appreciated by those in the know, Londoner Jason McNiff’s folksy Americana has never quite garnered him the commercial success that it deserved. Since the mid-Nineties he’s released five consistently fine albums and played many […]

July 14, 2023 0
The new single by Jo Beth Young features engrossing, complex arrangements and richly layered textures.  Young’s voice floats dreamily over the bass from Jules Bangs and Ben Roberts’ cello.  It’s a dreamy soundscape to become lost in.  The […]
