Dan Michaelson “First Light” (The state51 Conspiracy, 2017)

December 22, 2017 Jonathan Aird 0
First Light is an album of elegant music which serves as a frame for Dan Michaelson’s distinctive cracked and battered vocals – like a canvas sail hauled out for another use in the face of an […]

Luke Daniels “Singing Ways To Feel More Junior” (Gael Music, 2017)

December 21, 2017 Mark Nenadic 0
Luke Daniels looks a little like a refugee freed from a Mumford and Sons labour camp. His new album makes use of children’s rhymes for grownups everywhere. That’s enough to set of very loud alarm bells hereabouts. […]

Joshua Hyslop “Echos” (Nettwerk Music, 2018)

December 21, 2017 Peter Churchill 0
On first hearing the dulcet tones of Canadian singer-songwriter Joshua Hyslop it would be easy, and not a little bit lazy, to file him away as radio friendly, middle of the road and unremarkable. His voice […]

The Captain of Sorrow “Racetrack Babies” (Musikministeriet, 2018)

December 21, 2017 David Cowling 0
Late of the Danish band Racetrack Babies, Hans-Christian Segaard Andersen wanted these 12 songs to sound like 12 different bands and the title of each song is meant to be a possible name for a band. […]

Chris Blevins “Better Than Alone” (Horton Records, 2017)

December 21, 2017 Maurice Hope 0
Chris Blevins’ music is like a breath of fresh air; his narrative and full-bodied sound and way he removes the veneer to get to the source sets him apart from the field. Americana music has many […]

Paul Foglino “Monday Street”

An album of simplicity, sincerity and songs of reflection. For this album, Foglino has produced twelve songs which seem to provide a reflective look back at life, the power of music and the need to protest. […]
