Echolalia is a unique album that repurposes the glory days of English acid folk and pastoral, rural progressive music into a 2025 context. We could use some more of this good stuff in the world right now.

The Burning Hell’s ‘Ghost Palace’ may sound like an acceptance of Earth’s fate, but there are subtle signs that life…in a way, the diversity that artists like Kom bring to the world is one of the things that make it a future worth fighting for. 

This week’s Monday Morning Brew includes  Joshua Burnside, Daniel Bachman, Liam Grant, Satomimagae, Milkweed, Echolalia, The Hermit, L’Oumigmag, Rob Noyes, Will Stewart, Sam Moss, Chris Brain, Ichiko Aoba and more

Taken from her forthcoming “Home Recordings” EP, a collection of songs from a space carved out in the heart of winter’s desolation, watch the video for Anna St. Louis’ latest single ‘Everything (Demo)’.

Salt House hit the road in March with new member Anna Hughes. Watch them performing an acoustic version of Headed Our Way and performing Mountain of Gold with The Furrow Collective, with whom they have a new collaborative project lined up.

Wisconsin-based duo Bell Monks, featuring Eric Sheffield and Jeff Herriott, share their new video for Keep The Sunlight Out; take some time to slow down and enjoy this one.
