Field Guides recommends:
Painterly
by Nico Hedley And His Family Band
Nico's songs burrow their way into your heart & take up residence, pacing around & reciting Dickinson poems while sipping whiskey 'til your heartbeat starts swinging in 3/4.

Don't Get Comfy / Nowhere
by Carmen Quill
These arrangements are stark and stunning. The space around Carmen's singing and playing feels somehow both intimate and infinite.

Pink in each, bright blue, bright green
by Dave Scanlon
Dave works some kind of alchemy with these deceptively simple & spacious songs. He is one of my favorite lyricists & guitarists. I've listened to this LP more than any other these last couple years.

Occult psych-folk in the '70s U.K. tradition that further affirms the historical link between Appalachian and British folk songs.

Found In A House
by Creeping Pink
Creeping Pink's weird and warbly psychedelia errs on the dark and dissonant side of the spectrum.

Central States EP
by Mr. Golden Sun
Big-hearted, rootsy guitar-pop where bright, jangling chords cradle tender, beautifully melodic vocal lines.
