Following her recent collaboration with Katy Goodman of La Sera on an excellent covers album Take It, It’s Yours, LA singer/songwriter Greta Morgan aka Springtime Carnivore released her own second album Midnight Room last week. It is a record borne of a relationship breakup and subsequent insomnia, and is in equal parts reflective, questioning, tender and heartbreaking. There are echoes of Neko Case and Jenny Lewis, and excursions … Continue reading Springtime Carnivore – Midnight Room

New Album From John Southworth

With Small Town Water Tower (out 4th November via Tin Angel Records) mercurial singer-songwriter John Southworth has countered previous album Niagara’s much-lauded melancholia with a revitalizing, eerily deceptive pop album. Expressing an unsettled, dreamlike vision of lives in crisis, amidst species and eras fast disappearing, the album sounds like nothing in Southworth’s previous canon, it is dizzying, cinematic and beautifully crafted. Watch the video for Second Childhood from it below. … Continue reading New Album From John Southworth
