Since reviewing Chewing the Fat, the latest album from James Patrick Gavin we have been featuring a series of videos from his Union Chapel album launch. Watch the latest – Standing Stone and read the story behind it.
A carefully flowing composition blooming into a kosmische-acid-folk opus. From start to finish, ‘Enter the Stream’ is a journey that takes the listener through a landscape of pristine natural beauty, human emotion, and esoteric undercurrents.
We catch up with Portland’s queen of minimalist Americana Laura Veirs and talk about life, songwriting, touring and The Lookout. “Here I am, it’s my tenth record, I’m 44, I have children. I mean, what am I doing? What should I be doing with my life?”
Nonesuch Records is to release Punch Brothers’ first self-produced album, All Ashore, on July 20. Watch their new video for It’s All Part of the Plan and listen to Three Dots and a Dash.
Cloud Corner is another example of why Marisa Anderson is one of America’s most interesting and talented guitar players and composers. She has crafted a piece of work that challenges the listener and rewards them further with every listen. Excellent.
I started writing this on a trip through Scandinavia and wanted to capture the twisted feeling of hope and heartache when you decide to move on but also leave something substantial behind.
Last month, we shared Captain Solitaire, the lead single and title track of the new EP from actor turned singer-songwriter Michael Malarkey. Today, he revealed the accompanying video.
Novo Amor reveals video for Birthplace, the title track of his debut album. The video, featuring a freediver, confronts our plastic pollution of the oceans today.
It’s refreshing when an album explores weighty themes with sincerity and gravitas, and even more so when the artist in question combines the personal with the abstract without diluting either.
Randolph’s Leap release The Isle of Love, a 21-track compilation CD of the songs from the stage play of the same name – a bittersweet tale of love, loss, recovery and discovery inspired by the songs of Adam Ross.
Kacey Johansing’s voice is mesmerising, her songs are perfect, and the album ‘The Hiding’ is a sonic masterpiece. This album will make your summer better, no matter the weather.
