The art of songwriting combines poetry and music, and Julian Talamantez Brolaski (they/them) has earned their bona fides at both. Brolaski makes traditional, inventive Americana music, adding poetic lyricism to melodies inspired by some of country and western music’s original recording stars and most beloved sounds. Classical piano lessons, the poetry and queer country music […]

Austin glam-punk quintet A Giant Dog are proud to share “I Believe,” the latest offering from their ambitious new concept album Bite (August 25, 2023, Merge Records). Building from an ominous drone to the chorus’ playful nihilism, the track not only reinforces the album’s narrative through-line, but also reaffirms the band’s knack for euphoric hooks. The band has also […]

The story of Cordovas is one of rock ’n’ roll seekers, hammering away in search not just for a platonic ideal of their freewheeling sound, but also for some greater truth about our experience as humans. The band is fueled by the long strange trip of frontman Joe Firstman, who had a circuitous path through […]

Black Market Brass recently celebrated their tenth year as a band. Rather than round out the decade with more of the same, they’re headed into new territory. Hox, the third LP from BMB, is due out on Colemine Records on September 8th. It’s a new take on afro-beat fused with heavy, hypnotic, sci-fi sounds that […]

Right from the first twangy intro and stellar lead guitar of Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Josh Travis’ blue-collar rocker “Secondhand Smoke,” (below) there is a mature musical stare of a songwriter that almost sounds like the second coming of Jason Isbell. Avoiding any Americana gimmicks that have so much covered Nashville of late, Travis lets his achy […]

Over the last decade, Milwaukee-based band Listening Party has sought to create songs that deeply resonate with their listeners. Their folk and Americana-steeped sound expertly and reverently takes the pulse and traditions of their genre while adding their own charm.

Blueburst is the brainchild of Craig Douglas Miller, who is releasing his debut album at age 50, reviving a music career Miller had once written off. After major label interest for his 90’s band The Reach never quite panned out, Miller entered a 20-year musical hibernation, the result of untreated depression, writer’s block, and “a few too many gin & tonics” […]

Most new listeners of The Handsome Family were probably introduced to their music courtesy of Wilco’s and later Phoebe Bridgers’ cover of “So Much Wine.” Or perhaps maybe they heard them via their song “Far From Any Road” which was the opening theme for HBO’s True Detective season. However, older listeners have sworn patronage to this husband-wife […]
