With a refreshing, invigorating sound, and demonstrating a confidence and maturity in their tune and song writing, with ‘The Light of the Moon’, Gnoss have captured a sound dipped in honey that reinforces their formidable presence on the Scots traditional music scene.
While TEYR’s energetic and wildly entertaining delivery is still there on Estren, the added lyrical depth and musical variety, the moral bite and sensitivity to the world’s problems elevate them to the very top tier of today’s folk music.
Watch M G Boulter, our Artist of the Month, performing ‘Nights at the Aquarium’ outside the Three Shells Cafe in Southend. It’s taken from his new album Clifftown which is out now on Hudson Records.
It seems Sarah-Jane Summers & Juhani Silvola cannot put a foot wrong and The Smoky Smirr o Rain is a stunning addition to an already impressive catalogue of music. Written and played with skill, flair and feeling, this album is vital and quite wonderful.
We chat to M G Boulter, our Artist of the Month, about his new album which introduces us to the eerily familiar landscape of Clifftown, a sleepy seaside resort on the east coast of England.
Journey Through The Roke is a rather fetching gorgeous record. Flitting from Americana, jazz, and blues, with nods to funk, country, and tradition, the album expertly demonstrates Honey and the Bear’s skill and confidence. It is a road I’ll happily wander along again.
In Clifftown, M G Boulter perfectly captures the poetry of everyday life in a muted, fading town. Stay awhile and let its poignancy flow over you. Its quiet grandeur will gently seep into your soul. A thoroughly intoxicating listen.
We chat to Jon Boden about his new album ‘Last Mile Home’, the recent Bellowhead reunion and the much-anticipated return of Spiers and Boden, as well as the challenges of wild swimming. Plus, watch his new video for ‘Old Straight Track’.
The latest album by Jon Boden marks an elegant, profound, and thoroughly rewarding conclusion to a remarkably prescient series of albums. Last Mile Home is a genuinely heartfelt and beautifully structured listen. An exquisitely moving conclusion to Jon’s trilogy. This one will stay with you.
American musician and producer Myles Cochran talks us through his latest album Unsung – “Dense without being heavy, intelligent without being esoteric, this is elegant, nuanced music that has been finely crafted and richly woven.”
