D.B. Rouse has a new release on another can’t lose, pay-what-you-want deal via Bandcamp. As he describes it, “It’s Americana with organs, it’s acoustic music with guts, it’s a topical album called Learn From Our Mistakes.

The new Gun Outfit album Dream All Over (out next month) has been one of our most enjoyable new discoveries. A dusky, canyon-cult blues fueled by melodic dual-guitar weaving and seductive male/female incantations. It’s the nocturnal sound of desert-damaged L.A. burnout, soured American surrealism, white line fever, paint fume flashbacks, a stranger wading out alone into the black surf. They have shared a new video for their third … Continue reading New Video: Gun Outfit – Legends Of My Own
Another of our longstanding favourite bands, Americana duo Blessed Feathers have announced details of their new album There Will Be No Sad Tomorrow. Two years in the making, the record is equal parts beauty and brutality, a transgressional road trip that stretches from the ghettos of Peru to the high plains of Wyoming, from the swamplands of Florida to the oceanic wilds of Big Sur. Listen … Continue reading New Album From Blessed Feathers

We loved the weary, parched country of Gotta Wanna, the first single Gun Outfit shared from their forthcoming long player Dream All Over. Now we have Only Ever Over, a seductively elegant track that swirls and smothers in a blanket of dusky, slow moving, desert blues Wonderful. Order from Bandcamp here. . Continue reading More From Gun Outfit
