À Feu Doux is the forthcoming new release from Kevin Fowley, a Franco-Irish musician based in Dublin. Watch the accompanying video for the dream-like album opener, Ne Pleure Pas, Jeannette, which sets the tone for the release.
Laura J Martin’s Prepared is her strongest, strangest and most distinctive work yet, and proof that after an eight-year break, good things come to those who wait.
Nathan Bowles Trio, featuring Bowles, Double-bassist Casey Toll and drummer Rex McMurry, reunite for another album. ‘Are Possible’ drops on July 26th via Drag City Records, and they get the ball rolling with their excellent lead single ‘The Ternions’.
Produced by Jim Moray and featuring several special guests, Out of the Rain is a glorious, re-energised return from Blair Dunlop that should comfortably reinstate him among folk rock’s upper echelons.
A new playlist featuring Aldous Harding, Sam Amidon, This is the Kit, Amen Dunes, Louisa Stancioff, Cate Le Bon, Big Thief, Ganavya, A. Kostis, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Muireann Ní Shé, Kaia Kater, Lemoncello, Landless, Natalia Beylis, Citizen Bravo, Ivor Cutler and more.

Following the release of her new album Mayday, Myriam Gendron has announced a run of tour dates in the UK and Europe. The tour includes a headline show at London’s Cafe OTO and a performance at Blue Bird Festival in Austria.
Ship to Shore finds Richard Thompson enjoying the most vital of late golden periods, producing work to stand favourably alongside any from his previous fifty years.
Kaia Kater is not only a great musician but also a subtle and searching songwriter. Strange Medicine is her most diverse and complete album to date…a hopeful triumph from an utterly distinctive songwriter.
Lemoncello is one of those records that has a binding sound all the way whilst boasting an incredible range of tones, moods, and textures within each individual song…an ethereal, harmonious, ever-shifting sheen of a topcoat gliding across a tense, grinding underbelly of distortion and vibration.
Locust Land, Bill MacKay’s third solo outing for Drag City, is his most diverse yet, but also his most harmonious and satisfying, which is high praise, considering the quality of his past releases.
On Hex, Jon McKiel absorbs and repurposes a whole host of genres, but the overall sound – a trippy, fuzzy-edged pop – is strangely consistent, while the songs come from the realm of dreams, their edges softened by sleep but their message sharp and bright.
