Following a pretty convincing argument to already have her new album on your radar in first single, “The Spur,” Joan Shelley brings a new single this today. Featuring fellow RSTB favorite Bill…
Every piece of the new Mapache that sneaks out into the world has been a delight. The band’s latest is a massive 2xLP that embraces the band’s pastoral country-folk. The late-afternoon lilt…
I can’t think of a time that the works of Stephen McBean weren’t shaping the site. RSTB first popped up just after Black Mountain’s eponymous debut and the subsequent flip from The…
Following nicely on his absolute gem on Wick, It’s a New Day Tonight, from 2018, Michael Rault is leaving a trail of essential new singles in his run up to an eponymous…
A few years ago a lovely record snuck out under the name Sacred Lamp. The record was a collaboration between Canadian songwriters Matthew ‘Doc’ Dunn and Ayal Senior. The songs on Senior’s…
If this record isn’t already on the top of your 2022 pile for the most essential reissue, then it damn well should be. Les Rallizes Dénudés, the long storied Japanese psych band…

A huge debut launches the catalog of Valley of Weights, the NY/MA collective that culls members from Sky Furrows, Burnt Hills, the Winterpills and Vatican Commandos. The band launches into a double…
Spoke about Glenn in passing yesterday, but I’ve been remiss to cover this new album he has on the way from Thrill Jockey. The second song that’s slipped out from the record…
Came across this one, as I often do with a design connection. The cover of Cosmic Guilt’s debut was designed by great new illustrator Madalyn Stefanak, and it lead me to the…
