Plenty of new releases in this week’s Mixtape, including three tracks from Bring Your Own Hammer’s From the Tombs, just released via Dimple Discs (also a KLOF Featured Album of the Month). As Thomas Blake said in his recent review, it is an album of almost bewildering scope, anchored by consistently great songs from artists who span the disparate worlds of traditional folk, pop, alternative rock, and seemingly all points in between. From the album, we’ve chosen tracks from Adrian Crowley and maxo, Brigid Mae Power and Linda Buckley and Miriam Ingram with Seán Mac Erlaine.
We’ve also got:
- Sam Amidon’s new single, Innisfree, taken from Willing Brother Knowing, his ninth album, produced by Big Thief’s James Krivchenia.
- Two tracks from Radie Peat‘s new album No Human Tongue Can Tell, which is released today.
- The latest single from Courtney Werner (who also features on our cover). sierra one whiskey eight is taken from her debut solo album, Tritium Forests, which is out February 26 on Thrill Jockey (read our recent post here).
- New Song, the latest single from Bill MacKay & Michael Zerang, who have just announced Scarlet Hour, their first collaborative long-player, out January 29th via Drag City.
- The latest single from North Carolina’s Murphy Campbell – Gamblin’ Man.
From 2013, we have the Fence Collective‘s “Dewar House presents EXPERIMENTAL_BATCH_NUMBER_26“, which is available on CD now via James Yorkston’s Bandcamp page. It features James, King Creosote, Lomond Campbell, Slow Club, The Pictish Trail and Suhail Yusuf Khan all collaborating on each other’s songs.
And finally, two tracks from Lou Hazel. As I recently shared in the Monday Morning Brew Newsletter: Lou Hazel is a songwriter and artist living in Durham, NC. Dean Johnson called him a really special songwriter, something that seems to resonate with many other well-known artists, including Hiss Golden Messenger, whom he supported on tour this year, as well as the wonderful Malena Cadiz, who’s also a big fan of his music. Riot of the Red was released back in 2025 and didn’t hit my radar until recently.
