Asleep Between Stations is the new single to taken from The Leaf Library’s debut album Daylight Versions out now on wiaiwya. The track started life as an ode to falling asleep on trains, but could just as well be about drifting off to the buzz and static of radio waves over the North Sea. The song is underpinned by heavy pedal steel drones and joyful … Continue reading The Leaf Library – Asleep Between Stations

Cashavelly Morrison’s LP The Kingdom Belongs to a Child was released last week and this track Pink Dress is a prefect example of her haunting and wholly absorbing southern Americana.

Featuring guest vocals by their good friend Alex Maas of The Black Angels, The Devil’s Shelter begins with a low frequency, cycling, bass rhythm that wouldn’t sound out of place coming from Kill All Hippies era Primal Scream. The track is peppered with the band’s trademark sitar throughout, creating that wonderful mix of eastern … Continue reading Elephant Stone – Devil’s Shelter
