Deer Tick Return

One of our favourite bands, Deer Tick will return with a new album Negativity in September this year. Preceding it by a month will be this single and first taste from the album, the brilliant The Rock. It is another in their ever-growing collection of guitar-heavy, heart-on-sleeve Americana gems, but this time includes blasts of brass and piercing strings that spit dirt all over the song’s underbelly. … Continue reading Deer Tick Return

Introducing >>> Whale Belly

Brooklyn based folk quintet Whale Belly will release their second album I Was Once A Bird this autumn. The first focus track Bubbles In My Blood proudly bears the imprint of traditional folk music but steadfastly refuses to conform to expectations – the song boasts a big band sound, but it’s soft and gentle, and the violin adds a classical element that contrasts sweetly with … Continue reading Introducing >>> Whale Belly

The Return Of Lanterns On The Lake

Another Tale From Another English Town heralds the return of the dreamy, haunting folk of Lanterns On The Lake and is taken from their forthcoming new album Until The Colours Run, that will see a release via Bella Union. It is typically beautiful, cinematic and orchestral, with strings and vocals that rise and fall as though they were swelling waves, but the lyrics are sharper … Continue reading The Return Of Lanterns On The Lake

Introducing >>> Annie Eve

London’s Annie Eve  has brought out her debut self-titled EP on Young & Lost Club. Delicately and respectfully blending the mystical magic of Bon Iver with a raw sensibility, Annie Eve pours sugar and bitter spice into her angelic compositions with disturbing ease and sincerity. Throw in her unusual grasp of language and awkward perspective, which bleed into her lyrics and fuels an enchanting and … Continue reading Introducing >>> Annie Eve

Introducing >>> Argy Rakis

Singer-songwriter Argy Rakis has a rasping, deep vocal that sits comfortably atop the percussive chug of his track Let It Go. Then, about three and a bit minutes in, the guitars cut loose, and the Dirty Band of Mexicans duel their way to an impressive coda as Rakis intones “but I’m living like an animal“. Let It Go is the first single to be taken from his … Continue reading Introducing >>> Argy Rakis

New Album From This Frontier Needs Heroes

We have been long standing admirers of the sibling duo Brad and Jessica Lauretti who have released a couple of albums and toured pretty relentlessly as This Frontier Needs Heroes. They have a new album due in late August, Hooky benefits from the clever use of additional band members to bring an added dimension to their already sweetly rich harmonies. The taster track is the intriguingly … Continue reading New Album From This Frontier Needs Heroes
