One of two sons fathered by the late Memphis music maven Jim Dickinson, Cody has often taken a markedly different path in his musical expeditions than brother Luther (who usually hews closer to his roots). After multiple collaborations in supporting roles–on behalf of artists ranging from Robert Plant to Gina Sicilia to Lucero–the younger Dickinson […]

With After The Party, Leslie Mendelson refuses to repeat herself. Her fourth full-length album is a natural extension of her two prior Royal Potato Family records: the barebones Love And Murder of 2017 and the only slightly less skeletal work three years later, If You Can’t Say Anything Nice… And yet Mendelson’s depiction of her increasingly distinct […]

Swansun is a psych rock band from Burlington, New Jersey. The group began with Alan DeCecco on guitar, Evan Ayrer on Bass, Evan Pensabene on drums, and Ryan Foor on synth to play a one-off show, but after the set, they decided it was too good to stop. They began writing more songs and playing […]

My Mom Is Here is the brainchild of Samantha Seiff (vocalist) and Nick Sare (pianist). They suckered their talented Columbia jazz pals, Aidan Speckhard (drums), Stephen Park (guitar), and Ryan Daar (bass), into playing tunes with them on an NYC rooftop. Ever since, My Mom Is Here has been rocking worlds with head-banging originals and […]

It’s a funny thing to witness a master at work. On the one hand, you’re there to be entertained. But on the other hand, you are well aware that you are basking in the presence of a true artist. Such is the line that James McMurtry has long straddled with his everyman, almost literal approach […]

After adamantly denying any notion that hinted at a reunion, Soul Coughing has announced a reunion tour. The 17-date tour marks their first shows in 25 years and kicks off in Solana Beach on September 11. It will finish with a two-night stay at Brooklyn Steel on October 4 and 5. Another highlight is a […]

Since the runaway success of their 1992 debut, the duo of Das EFX has been creating their own language. The English language must be bent if it wants to keep up with Dray and Skoob’s cartoonish cadence. The duo introduced their phonetic acrobatics on Dead Serious on April 7, 1992, on East West Records. The […]

Arguably the acme of the Grateful Dead’s early psychedelic era, Aoxomoxoa was one of the first rock albums to be recorded using 16-track technology. And while the title of the record may be termed a meaningless palindrome–a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of symbols that reads the same backward as forwards– it is hardly […]

It’s been four years since the Raleigh-based Roots Rock band Jack The Radio last put out a record and the time between has clearly done little to dull the band’s writing. With three of the songs on their new LP Under Lonely Light familiar to fans of the band who have been following them closely […]

Apifera – Nitai Hershkovits, Yuvi Havkin, Amir Bresler, and Yonatan Albalak – bring a melting pot of influences and experience to their second album, Keep the Outside Open. When these different musicians come together, the effect is like switching between radio stations: a dash of prog, a twist of post-rock, and a heavy dose of […]

Last August, Craig Klein, who records music under the name Ohr and formerly fronted The Race, was deep into the recording of his new album, Afterglow, when his father got sick and died unexpectedly. It all happened in the span of a month, and Klein found himself reeling. “It rocked my world,” the songwriter recalls. […]

Lord Buffalo is heavy in the way that ghosts are heavy… in the way that billowing dust is heavy. That is to say, the Austin, TX Psych-Americana band’s music impacts hard, though it seems impossible to touch. Their sound flows through us, it doesn’t invite the Pavlovian response of typical heavy rock music. Perhaps it’s […]

The voice of Americana, Jim Lauderdale, has explored bluegrass, roots music, several albums with Robert Hunter, and pure country over the course of 37 records. From the opening notes of Tommy Detamore’s pedal steel on the opening title track, we know immediately which vein he’s in on “My Favorite Place.” This is as pure as […]

In honor of the incomparable Sir Paul McCartney (who celebrated his 82nd birthday yesterday), for this week’s special Juxtaposed June edition of Weirdo Wednesday, we’re sharing this somewhat hilarious clip of him enjoying some good old fashion American death metal with legendary producer Rick Rubin in the studio. Indeed, you’d be hard-pressed to find two […]
