This one’s been on the list for a while, but 2021 proved packed beyond means. So, as we ease into 2022 Norway’s answer to the current wave of Cosmic Americana comes in…
Friday was positively stuffed with new music, so, naturally, some slipped through the cracks. If you missed out on this new single from Idle Ray, it’s not too late to nab it…
Haven’t heard too much about this album, but that seems a damn shame given the depth and drive of the Western aura emanating from Shulman Smith’s debut. The Los Angeles via Colorado…
A third album is on the way from Caroline No, the constantly evolving ensemble around Caroline Kennedy (Deadstar, The Plums, The Tulips). This time Kennedy enlists Jim White (Dirty Three, Xylouris White)…

Continuing the excellent run of power pop singles leading up to the release of Guv III, Young Guv lets out another burst of sunshine to shoo away the clouds on a February…
Quite liking this new single from Alabama band Banditos. The band makes a move from Bloodshot to Egghunt Records and the new single embraces the band’s country-strewn rock. Echoing shades of Shannon…
Not to go searching for cyphers, but it seems there’s a bit of a tell in the artwork to Glenn’s new LP under the Reds, Pinks & Purples name. Following a repress…
