Our Song of the Day comes from Estonian singer, violinist, experimental electronic artist and composer Maarja Nuut. Taken from her forthcoming new album ‘Hinged’, ‘Kutse tantsule’ is a kind invitation to join her for a little dance.
On One (and Driftless) Left Vessel has found a way to mine two seams simultaneously, providing us with a literate worldview, while melding much of the album within a natural framework that has never been realized before.
Villagers reveal new single and video “So Simpatico”…a song of devotion; whether to a person, the self, or the art of being, a struggle for authenticity is at its core.
Trevor Sensor has been to the edge, he’s peered over and decided that despite all the evidence to the contrary there are still reasons to live. On Account of Exile, Vol. 1 doesn’t offer us a lot of…it’s enough that he finds them for himself.
Candlepower is an effortlessly crafted, and luxurious, listen. Charming and challenging in equal measures it is a thoroughly beguiling debut from Marina Allen who is also our Artist of the Month.
Texas-based RF Shannon reveal video for their new single ‘Dublin, Texas’ which finds them extending their roots across the Atlantic to Ireland. The video features ancestral spirits…and rain.
Russell Potter’s private press LPs A Stone’s Throw (1979) and Neither Here Nor There (1981) have been reissued by Tompkins Square…”recorded in the last waning days of the initial American Primitive explosion.”
Jonathan Day and his band are taking their contemporary rural music to a string of festivals this summer and he has a new lineup they are calling the Great Recovery, expect very joyful arrangements, animated live projections and even some hand-powered animatronic shadow puppets.
That Dana Sipos’s ‘The Astral Plane’ feels remarkably intimate and accessible is a tribute to her ability to translate a world of experiences in a way that helps us to understand how we are all connected; examining those bonds makes us all stronger.
My Name Is Suzie Ungerleider is a sweet, wistful album. It tells a beautifully painted set of tales; rich in genuine and moving narratives focusing on emotion and the heart. While we bid farewell to Oh Susanna, it is a very warm and pleasant welcome to Suzie Ungerleider.
Heidi Talbot launches Kickstarter campaign for her sixth album which finds her stepping outside her comfort zone -Dirk Powell is in the production chair and she’ll be creating music with Louisiana-based musicians. We can’t wait.
