I’ve been talking up this record as long as I can remember and I won’t stop until the year is through. Sean Tompson’s EP and singles set the stage for the album,…
The first single off of this record was a charmer, but Juliana knocks it up one more notch with the huge sound of “You.” A touch of country lilt hangs over the…
The works of Joseph Allred have captivated me for some time now. Each new record unfurls with a timeless grace that’s etched with folk’s past, but swept with emotions and turbulence that’s…
Got a nice slice of indie from Jim Nothing, who hail from down in Christchurch. The NZ band is back with their new album for Melted Ice Cream / Meritorio and the…
This one’s been on top of the highly anticipated pile since the moment it was announced. The debut EP from Color Green only hinted as what was to come, a scruffy slice…
Not a lot of shouts this side of the world, but the February album from Aussies Doe St struck a chord over here. The band follows pretty quickly with a new single…

The last album from Lee Baggett came curling under the radar, a wobbled mixture of psych-folk and roots layin’ low on Perpetual Doom last year. Baggett hits back hard with a follow-up,…
A second single sneaks its way out of the upcoming Badge Époque Ensemble, and its yet another deep dose that pushes past the seven-minute mark. Still with an undercurrent of psychedelic jazz…
This lovely cut from Lou Turner (aka Lauren Turner of Styrofoam Winos) laid down in the headphones early last week and it was tough not to get to share it until now.…
All right, catching up after a week away and it seems that everyone had something to announce. I’ll try to hit as much as I can today to recap. This one’s been…
A brand new single from GospelbeacH snuck out via the always excellent Heads Lifestyle yesterday and its a nicely weatherbeaten slice of power pop. Featuring members of the curation stable, GB constant…
