Sarah Jane Scouten “When The Bloom Falls From The Rose” (Light Organ Records 2017)

August 11, 2017 Keith Hargreaves 0
Opening with the stately ‘Acre of Shells,’ this album sets its stall out from the very off, with crystal clear production illuminating each instrument and elevating the Patsy Cline like vocals to front and centre. This […]

Mekons “Existentialism” (Bloodshot, 2017)

August 10, 2017 Scott Baxter 0
It would be a terrible thing were you to be unfamiliar with The Mekons. Over almost 40 years they’ve recorded more than 20 albums of punky, post-punky and folky music that is at worst okay, generally very […]

Dan Raza ”Two” (Independent, 2017)

August 10, 2017 Nick Jarman 0
Growing up in the Home Counties to British & Indian descent, Dan Raza is a soft-sounding songwriter of sincere disposition. His record ”Two” is an impressive mix of musical styles and instrumentation, from the electric organ […]

Alex Seel ”Circles EP” (Independent, 2017)

August 10, 2017 Nick Jarman 0
Native of the UK, Alex Seel has been steeped in folk music, and this is audible in the guitar playing on this ”Circles EP”, especially in the title track kicking off the EP. With gorgeously rich […]

Interview: Adam Levy on the Honeydogs celebrated return

February 23, 2026 0
Experiencing a rebirth with Algebra for Broken Hearts, the St. Paul, Minnesota band’s twelfth album on Julian Records (2025), is crucial language, one voicing an undersung American existence. Like the novel, I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif […]
