Four years in the making, it is a collaborative record in the sense that the eleven songs were co-written with wounded veterans in the SongwritingWith: Soldiers retreats. Just … Continue reading Mary Gauthier – Rifles & Rosary Beads

Amen Dunes (aka the project of New York-based Damon McMahon) will release his fifth album, Freedom, on 30 March via Sacred Bones. On the surface, Freedom is a reflection on growing up, childhood friends who ended up in prison or worse, male identity, McMahon’s father, and his mother, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the beginning of recording. The characters that populate the musical … Continue reading Amen Dunes – Miki Dora
Dr. Dog have shared a new track Listening In, which appeared in our Soundcloud feed this afternoon. All we’ve been able to establish thus far is that it comes from their Critical Equation album, which will be available on the 27th April. We also know it is another fine example of their psych infused Americana, carried along on metronomic percussion and a typically plaintive and questioning … Continue reading New From Dr. Dog
Another of our round-ups of songs we should have posted from the end of 2017. Restless was a stomping single from Brooklyn-based folk rocker Common Jack. It’s anthemic take on Americana draws favourable comparisons to Lumineers, Neil Young and The Avett Brothers. Swedish indie rockers Francobello shared Future Lover, which rises and falls, building to a crescendo of gorgeous harmonies and ferocious guitar runs. LA-based Space-Psych … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 4)

Though a Chicago native for nearly two decades now, Jodee Lewis was raised in Osceola – a town of 800 people in the Missouri Ozarks. Her childhood home was down a secluded dirt track, set amongst 190 acres of woodland, where days were spent running through the trees, building forts and secret hideouts. She grew up in a household where Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Patsy … Continue reading MM Shorts 990: Jodee Lewis
Yep, the good stuff from last year keeps on coming… This time, we begin with Flesh from post-punk duo Chastity, a chaotic, antagonistic and downright eerie single released way back in October. Cut Worms (a.k.a. Max Clarke) shared Song of the Highest Tower, a seven minute track that combines a poignant, nostalgic Americana with classic Roy Orbison style licks. At the other end of the musical … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 3)
