Jake Xerxes Fussell shares ‘Leaving Here, Don’t Know Where I’m Going’ from his forthcoming new album – “This song is from the ‘lonesome road’ family of songs, which there have probably been about as many variations of as there have been people to sing them”.

It’s unusual to encounter a debut full-length album with as much confidence and clarity as Malin Lewis’s Halocline, which is also a work of subtle, nuanced beauty. We met with the Scottish piper to learn more about it.

Halifax, Nova Scotia’s Nap Eyes return with two new songs that bookend their history as a band: Ice Grass Underpass and Feline Wave Race are themselves concerned with marking, attenuating, and collapsing time.

Convention has never been a preoccupation of either Jennifer Walshe or Tony Conrad, and In the Merry Month of May is unusual even by the standards of contemporary experimental music. It works as a showcase for two genuine greats improvising with fearless abandon.

Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling, and Andreas Werliin share their new music video for “Två”, directed by Cédrick Eymenier, taken from their latest album, Ghosted II.

Quintela is the debut album of Galician piper, teacher, composer and improviser Carme López. Building a nuanced world from minimal organic ingredients, it exists within and beyond the Galician piping tradition – reimagined through contemporary, avant-garde and feminist lenses.

We catch up with Richard Thompson and mull over all things RT, including former band mates, surprising career break diversions, the writing process, guitar playing stamina, family and of course, the brand new album Ship to Shore.

Myriam Gendron’s art, for all its surface simplicity, harbours a wealth of emotional and aesthetic complexities which, when taken together, form a wholly unique sound. Mayday is the most moving and persuasive example of that sound to date.

Soundway return with another great compilation, Ghana Special 2: Electronic Highlife & Afro Sounds In The Diaspora, shining the spotlight on the innovative and creative Ghanaian burger highlife of the 80s.

Watch the accompanying video for ‘Turn Around For Me’, the new single from Constant Follower. The work that has gone into crafting this single once again demonstrates how McAll always goes above and beyond to bring his songs to life – this one truly blossoms.

Ann Annie, the moniker of Portland composer and multi-instrumentalist Eli Goldberg, shares new single ‘Silver Creek’ – For such a short song, its ever-evolving nature is both captivating and remarkable.
