Couldn’t come back from the break with better news than a new collection of covers from RSTB fave Daniel Bachman. After gracing us all with a defining statement in last year’s Axacan,…
See this is one of those great arguments for year-end lists. The inbox here is overstuffed to say the least, and that means that sometimes the true gems fall through the cracks.…
Still finding some gems from the year as it starts to draw to a close, and I’d be remiss if I’d let this album from Ryan Pollie slip away. The L.A. via…
A second single slips out from Aussies Partner Look today and the band embrace the tangential twinning that lies behind their band name in the loose video for “Rodeo Tragic.” Slightly more…
A few years back I started putting together mixes that mapped out a current wave of Cosmic Americana and alt-country that’s been solidifying lately and this year’s entry is another excellent round-up…

Hey no one ever said that just because the ‘favorites’ list is up that the year is done. There’s still more 2021 left and there are still more albums on my queue…
A little late-year treat out of Ohio as a follow-up single to the young band’s sorely overlooked debut In This Town slides out last week. The band’s jangled charms are in full…
Not only was it a good year for albums and EPs, but I’m always scouring or good reissues that stray from the the obvious. This year wasn’t as packed as it could…
Despite being a terrible year by most metrics, 2021 has been an amazing year for recorded music. As I sat down to work out this list, I truly had a hard time…
