‘When I’m Called’ is Jake Xerxes Fussell’s finest set and his most delicately arranged. Let this one bed in after a few listens and allow its delicate layers to slowly emerge; you’ll feel grateful for such beautifully performed and arranged music.
Banjoist Nathan Bowles and his band, drummer Rex McMurry and double bassist Casey Toll, join us to discuss their new album Are Possible, Nathan’s follow-up to 2018’s Plainly Mistaken and their first full-length trio effort.
Irish duo Rezo’s new album, The Age of Self Help, applies the lessons that need to be learned in an era where being heard has never been more challenging. Watch their new video for Circle Closed.

Liverpudlian producer Andrew PM Hunt (Dialect) announces new album, Atlas of Green. Watch Sara Ludy’s video for the lead single, ‘Late Fragment’; the song encompasses the melancholic core of the album, a patchwork of memory and mistranslation.
