Joana Serrat “Dripping Springs” (Loose, 2017)

November 24, 2017 David Cowling 0
This is one of those records that sounds so lush and wonderful that you think that listening to it on repeat would begin to erode its charms. Well, take it from me: repeated listens only serve […]

Gun Outfit “Out of Range” (Paradise of Bachelors, 2017)

November 23, 2017 David Cowling 0
It took precisely two songs on this latest release from the estimable GO before I was convinced that this would be their strongest record so far. I was right; though these two songs are a brilliant […]

Langhorne Slim “Lost at Last Vol 1” (Dualtone Records 2017)

November 22, 2017 Dave Jennings 0
Langhorne Slim has taken a “step sideways” from 2015’s The Spirit Moves in order to move forward. The result is a more stripped-back offering that retains much of Slim’s defiant introspection albeit in a more lo-fi […]

Buffalo Killers “Alive And Well In Ohio” (Alive Records, 2017)

November 22, 2017 David Cowling 0
This is the BK’s eighth record and it was self-produced in their own studio, so there’s no one else to blame. It’s not an inch away from their usual muddied fuzzy sound. They indistinctly reference classic […]

Richard Schroder “Drive” (Tinderbox Music, 2017)

November 21, 2017 Mark Underwood 0
Richard Schroder certainly looks like he’s put in the spade work with his debut album, seeking out advice from songwriting coach, Steve Seskin, who says that what separates the debutant from his peers is his willingness to […]

Thin Lear “Many Disappeared”

May 14, 2026 0
Thin Lear’s tales of death and loss sweetened by delectable pop melodies. New York-based Matt Longo, aka Thin Lear, grew up writing short stories, and that narrative style pervades his Many Disappeared album. Longo says he […]

Herman Dune “Santa Cruz Gold”

An idiosyncratic muse from the West Coast. This album may have been ready for release three years ago but it could just as easily have come out fifty years previously such is its warm relaxed 1970s […]

Raelyn Nelson Band “Hating You” – Listen
