An excellent new single from UK guitarist Dean McPhee lands today. The A-side is an echo-laden slice of smoldering instrumental guitar, pulling at the mind like taffy and living up to its…
The second single from Aussie outfit Workhorse dips away from the indie aura of “Chain.” Amping up the surf twang, the song admittedly pulls from The Shadows and Link Wray but lands…
Sergio Sayeg’s last album as Sessa was a charmingly breezy album that leaned into Bossa Nova, folk, and Tropicália. While there were some embellishments, it was largely a spare affair that found…
Daniel Romano’s Outfit has made a number of mentions here over the past few years, with albums coming faster than anyone can bear to keep up. The last album was bolstered by…

The catalog of Little Wings is rumpled and worn, full of favorites that are worth returning to again and again. Kyle Field’s songs are unvarnished, yet warm and dusted with a sense…
