Single | Alex Ileo – Go Alone
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ27ajS838g[/embedyt] I am looking as we speak not at my computer keyboard (I can touch type), but at the new video, released last week of Alex Lleo’s track ‘Go Alone’. Filmed during his recent headline tour of Scotland, the…
Premiere | Palamara – Misunderstood
Palamara’s A Voice in the Wilderness has a little bit of everything for those hoping to garner a tad more from their listening experiences than a cool beat or an undulating rhythm. The singer-songwriter’s music looks back at life’s larger moments…
Video premiere | Natalie Evans – Empty Rooms & Aeroplanes (Small Pond Session with Ayumi Konno)
It has been far too long since we last featured Natalie Evans on the site. Since then she has honed her virtuosic playing, continuing to pair complicated guitar or harp structures with simple vocal melodies to create a unique style…

Album | Alien Country – Like My Life Depends On It
To put it simply, Alien Country lives up to its name. This much is true enough that it very nearly feels like sensory overload when you first kick Like My Life Depends On It up, and not because it’s poorly mixed or…
Album | Mark Huff – Stars For Eyes
With his new album, Mark Huff may have Stars For Eyes, but the question is if the music that makes up this latest LP will leave our ears feeling just as cosmic. While criticizing music as a whole, like all art…
Album | Brown Kid – Rusty Strings
Most days, it feels like Peruvian folk artist Brown Kid’s lively irreverence is more needed than ever. His new album may be titled Rusty Strings, but it never sounds like he was playing on any. Production on the singer-songwriter’s newest EP is…
