Here, Victorian-era explorers Josiah Chester Jones (Berkeley) […]

Leeroy Stagger, born and raised in rural Vancouver Island before moving to southern Alberta, is a prolific artist. Pilgrimage is his thirteenth studio album, having started with Beautiful South in 2005. It is a departure from his previous work, which could be broadly described as electric guitar-based pop, although, of course, this doesn’t fully do […]

Fronted by charismatic singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Jordan, the ensemble also includes accomplished players on flute, fiddle, guitar, accordion, and mandola, drawing deeply on the rich musical heritage of northwest Ireland.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Hüsker Dü – Warehouse: Songs And Stories – Rating: 2.25 / 5 Didn’t think it was that bad for the first 30 minutes, and was leaning towards a 3… realized it had another 40 minutes to go, and was like NOPE, not that good.

At the heart of the Communist project is "seizing the means of production." But what does this really mean?

The most important inventions of the 8th century are often considered to be agricultural (horse shoes and collars, the heavy plough) or military (certain types of Viking sword and Native American arrowhead). While some of these things may have been revolutionary in their own way, this narrative plays down the advances that were being made […]
Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Neil Young – After The Gold Rush – Rating: 3 / 5 This was fine overall. There were some choices with how Neil sounds when he sings that I did not enjoy, especially on “Southern Man”. Further proof this limit would benefit from limiting itself to only 2 albums per artist. Other Albums: E-40, Cousin Fik, & Hitta Slim – The Assembly – Rating:…

…Lemoncello, returning with their second album, still carry the quiet confidence of a duo who have already carved out a distinctive place in contemporary Irish folk. Since their debut, Laura Quirke and Claire Kinsella have continued to refine the intimate, instinctive interplay that first brought them to our attention, the kind of vocal and instrumental […]
The excellent quintet WÖR utilises violin, bagpipes, accordion, guitar and saxophones to reimagine 18th-century tunes from the Flanders region of Belgium. Swedish women’s self-styled ‘Folk’appella’ quartet Kongero honour the folk traditions of their home region, Jämtland, in northern Sweden, in a similar manner. Here, these two ensembles combine for a tantalising project. The sonic landscapes […]

Taking the title to musical heart (the album cover pointedly having him sporting different looks), after two albums mining country, reunited with producer David Mansfield who contributes, among other things, guitars, pedal steel, lap steel, celesta and Ondes martenot, alongside drummer Charley Drayton, bassist Tony Scherr and keyboard player Andy Burton, Teddy Thompson’s latest album, […]
Quando uma banda abandona o que a tornou grande, costuma perder-se. Os AMORPHIS encontraram-se. Havia algo de inevitável no que os AMORPHIS fizeram em 1996. Quem tivesse ouvido com atenção os últimos minutos do incontornável «Tales From The Thousand Lakes» — aquele esmorecimento gradual, quase contemplativo, que encerra o disco — talvez tivesse pressentido que o passo seguinte não seria uma…

Doing This for Love is an album blessed with one of those artfully considered covers that visually informs the precise experience from which these songs have risen. What at first glance looks like an indistinct melange of colours reveals, after a lingering glare, to be the sight of over-congested traffic, headlights on before sunrise, rain […]
The poet and artist Barbara Guest, an original member of the New York school of poetry, ended her final collection, The Red Gaze (2005), with the following words by Theodor Adorno: ‘In each genuine art work something appears that did not exist before.’ It’s a quote so pertinent to how we view human creativity today […]
Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Songhoy Blues – Music in Exile – Rating: 4 / 5 Really enjoyed this album, but it didn’t fully stand out for me. Very talented, but at times the songs blended together a little. Still I love finding new music like this on the list that I probably would have never come across on my own. Favorite Videos: Amber Mark – Cherry Reds (Live From…
Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Grant Lee Buffalo – Fuzzy – Rating: 1.5 / 5 When I saw this came out in ‘93, I could not remember this dude at all. I quickly found out why though. It’s because he’s boring and bland as shit. I’m sooooo shocked another album like this makes the list. Other Albums: Tink – Fuck, Marry, Kill – Rating: 4 / 5 Blu & Exile – Time Heals Everything…
Insomnia and Seven Steps to Grace, is U.S. Poet Laureate and musician Joy Harjo’s debut for Smithsonian Folkways.

Her mom was “inspired by the poetry she heard […]

Intensely expressive free-verse vocal laments over sliding violins, hammered santouri, guitar, and oud – the hybrid sounds of the Mediterranean in the early 20th century. “Aman Aman” cry the singers on these recordings, their voices preserved on 78rpm discs cut between 1911-1935. The phrase roughly translates to “mercy,” a call of despair, but also one […]
…Love These Days by Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Karen Dahlstrom is a strong collection of songs rooted in contemporary folk, with dalliances into country, blues and even jazz. You wouldn’t be remiss if you were wondering why you hadn’t heard of Dahlstrom until now. To be fair, she is a bit of a late bloomer, but having […]
