New Album From Matthew Squires & The Learning Disorders

Founded in Austin in 2012, Matthew Squires and the Learning Disorders is an ever-evolving project, centered around the penetrating songs of young singer-songwriter Matthew Squires. Their new album, titled Where The Music Goes To Die, is certainly a step up from anything that has gone before. Vocals are much calmer and controlled and a fuller range of (still off-kilter and unique) songwriting is on full display as … Continue reading New Album From Matthew Squires & The Learning Disorders

The reissue by Earth Recordings of Howard Enyon’s long deleted acid-folk masterpiece So What If Im Standing In Apricot Jam (the no apostrophe is deliberate) has been one of our favourite discoveries of the year. We have already posted a couple of off kilter, some might say bizarre, tracks from it and here is a third, the marvellous Happy Song. Dig in. . Continue reading Another From Howard Enyon Reissue
