We’ve had our share of Australian psych in recent years, but along with bands like Hot Garbage and Yoo Doo Right, let’s not forget that Canada has their own brand of hypnotic indie psych that follows a more straightforward song pattern. Enter Canadian psych quartet Mother Sun that have just announced a brand new LP entitled Train […]

Just like it was for Faye Webster and Haim, conjuring splendid pop rock with a small bite of edginess is easier said than done, and often times the end result is too “sunshine daydream” for most. Not for Veronica Stanton who took a crash course in Nashville in her recent routing via Pennsylvania that saw […]

It’s almost bizarre that Cole Anyway isn’t signed to his almost namesake record label Colemine- where shades of instrumental grooves of the highest caliber mingle with rejuvenated clarity. Cole Anyway is the stage name Los Angeles resident Cole Emoff employs for his cinematic, convention-defying pop. As Cole Anyway, he creates an enveloping trance, drawing equally on lush old […]

In a Newport Folk Festival that will be talked about for a long long time, this 2022 edition featured a surprise set from Joni Mitchell, who last performed live in 2013. Other highlights included a guest appearance from Nathaniel Rateliff and standout sets by Courtney Barnett, Marcus Mumford, Brandi Carlile and more. Photos by Andrew […]

Singer/songwriter Morgan Snow, the leader of Triggers & Slips proves that you can summon ears with a tried and true country drawl, but not alienate fans of being “too country.” And yes, his band steers more into Drive-By Truckers vs Luke Bryan, yet never loses its footing in a biting and soothing twang. Yet the […]

“This is the only song on the album that specifically references the pandemic. With the halt of live music and the knowledge that COVID is a respiratory disease spread by aspirations, I felt not only silenced in my art and ability to perform but also in daily life and the ability to talk with people […]

A persistent & zooming baroque-folk fearlessness punctuates Miles Hewitt’s debut single “Moongreening” which sounds as if the singer-songwriter spent weeks recording in the UK on a coastal sojourn. However, if the tracks sound somewhat familiar, tap it up to the mix of session players that include members of the bands of Devendra Banhart, Kevin Morby, and […]

Certain songs appear on the path to be standards right from the get-go, yet few retain that lofty status where they’ll be sung by vocal royalty like Rod Stewart or Bonnie Raitt. Yet singer-songwriter Gretchen Peters has nabbed a few accolades along the way composing hits for She found work as a songwriter, composing hits […]

On Wednesday, July 13th, Brandi Carlile taped her third appearance on Austin City Limits.

Rising to the occasion in a world thirsty for meaty anthem choruses and grinding rock chords is Los Angeles-based indie rock band Near Beer. Composed of Joey Siara (vocals, guitar), Brent Stranathan (drums), Jeremy Levy (bass, backup vocals) — builds up on Siara’s work with The Henry Clay People and dashes it with anthemic punk reminiscent […]

As a producer, record executive, songwriter, singer, and session musician; Wyatt Easterling’s career in the music industry has covered all the bases: you name it he’s done it. Yet the sly and soulful artist’s most consequential talent lies in his heartfelt ability to write amidst a magnificent confessional force alongside sweet and seductive melodies. Easterling’s […]

Club d’Elf’s latest album You Never Know, the third over the course of its twenty-plus year career is entire without simplicity: and that’s a good thing. Founder and multi-instrumentalist Mike Rivard upped his game to reimagine Frank Zappa’s “King Kong” as well as the Miles Davis/Joe Zawinul collaboration “In A Silent Way”/”It’s About That Time.” […]

“We decided to take a break from heavy introspective lyrics. We love the playful banter of classic country duets and wanted to put out a fun and playful homage to what we love,” says husband-wife duo Megan & Shane about their potent new track “Put Me Down,” which wallops with a bit of Waylon and […]

As the title suggests, Portland, Maine-based LOVE BY NUMB3RS’ new album Earth Needs A Moon certainly takes on the celestial inspiration recently taken on by like-minded Tedeschi Trucks Band in their moon album series. Yet, while no band can touch the firework guitar displays of the prior mentioned collaborative, LOVE BY NUMB3RS’ has a fiery […]

Widespread Panic returned to Red Rocks this past weekend (June 24 -26) for their records 64th, 65th, and 66th consecutive sellouts at the hallowed venue. JB, Schools, Sonny, JoJo, Jimmy, and Duane brought the goods including a cover of Tom Petty’s “You Wreck Me” and generous cover offerings each night. Todd Radunsky was there for […]

Frank Turner hit Philadelphia’s Fillmore on June 19th amidst his “50 states in 50 days” tour that wraps up in Honolulu in August. The only other artist to have done this previously was George Thorogood in 1981. I “Well, I’ve been unable to tour properly for a couple of years now, and always said that […]

For all its intimacy, The Feelings Parade’s delicate yet melodic precision is immediately reminiscent of Cat Power, and Beth Orton, while retaining a true folk roots authenticity. The duo’s story is one of patience and perseverance, not unlike most artists about to take over in very early 2020, who were suddenly halted, yet found ways […]

Pine Baron’s recent cover of Japanese band Fishman’s “In the Air”, is more than just a cover but a tribute in the truest sense of the word. While mostly staying true to form, just enough small changes in arrangement, inflection, and tonality are introduced that it feels almost like the band is picking up where the […]

Herbie Hancock brought his eclectic sounds to the opening night of NYC’s SummerStage in Central Park on June 11, 2022. Fans turned out in an overflow crowd for the free show, including openers Keyon Harrold and DJ Pete Rock.

Paul Leary continues to redefine art-rock in its most mischievous and radical forms – always taking a dare to out-freak artists generations younger than himself. Well for this psych-rock veteran age means nothing and as he continues to rewrite his own musical script. Today, Glide is premiering Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers) video for “The Bird Are Dying,” […]
