In the time since her wonderful 2021 album Metal Bird, Eve Adams has made a home for herself out in the open plains of the American Southwest, and quietly set about writing what she calls her "eulogy for the American Dream", and what we find as one of
Hello friends and followers! Welcome to a shiny new feature, and something I've been meaning to pull together for a while now. It is, as it says right there, a round-up of some albums released today. I don't expect it to be a weekly feature but

One of those moments that leaks into your day like unexpected sunlight, discovering the new album from ganavya is both a meditative and restorative discovery.

So much of life now is spent trying to wrap my head around unfathomable passages of time that just don't make sense. GoldFlakePaint will be 15 years old next month, for one example. Carrie & Lowell came out ten years ago, for another. As such, it's
I'm not sure why it took me so long to listen to the new Men I Trust record. Sometimes life just slips past. I finally played it today, its sweet sounds filling the flat like evening light s I wandered around tidying, preparing dinner, small acts in the
