I was already excited about Iron and Wine’s Sam Beam making an album with Jesca Hoop — one of my favorite singer/songwriters — and now that I’ve heard “Every Songbird Sings,” I’m practically drooling. On their own, each of their voices tends to give me chills, they’re just so perfect that I am in awe…

Trippy. Ethereal. Gorgeous. Brilliant.

Sometimes even the best artists lose their mojo. Sometimes even the best artists fall prey to their big egos. Sadly, Kanye West has done both with his new album, The Life of Pablo. But did we really need a new album to learn these things about Kanye? Probably not. It was pretty obvious that he’d…

Soul Asylum will release their brand new, 2016 studio album Change of Fortune on March 18th and it’s one of their best in years, right up there with Grave Dancer’s Union (1992) and Let Your Dim Light Shine (1995).

Nils Kercher makes delightful world music that stimulates the senses with sounds you’ve likely never heard before. The instruments he plays include the kora, balafon, and bolong. If you’re not familiar with them, don’t worry, neither was I.

When it comes to indie singer/songwriter Emm Gryner, I always have very high expectations. This might have something to do with the fact that her album Northern Gospel was my #1 album of 2011 and that her album Torrential was my #12 album of 2014. Suffice to say she’s one of my favorites, so forgive…

“I’m sick of this record already,” begins “Ordinary Life,” a song roughly halfway through the album that is about, well, being sick of ordinary life. While he sings about losing the will to live in Boston, floating and waiting to die, the song isn’t intended to inspire suicides. Quite the opposite in fact, “Just because…
