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.

Honest & uninhibited, Ben's guitar and voice move effortlessly and unreservedly from sweet to insistent to ecstatic. No posturing, no pretense. His heart is wide-open here -- as in youth.

I really love this album. The way the melodic/harmonic motifs seem to have these slight variations and overlap in different ways is constantly fascinating. Also the drum rhythms are just so cool. Also the sort of “found sound” stuff, like the typing and writing sounds, adds really nice texture.

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