Andy Cartwright’s Seabuckthorn project has covered a lot of ground in its 10+ run, but there’s always a liminal feeling to it that I’m helplessly drawn to. Cartwright has an innate feel for otherworldly melodies and a remarkable ability to condense expansive ideas into concise aural structures. His new solo album, Form Less Ness, blooms in similar spaces […]
Son of Buzzi keeps me on my toes. My initial impressions of the project were that it was an interesting approach to solo acoustic guitar music, and while that is true, it’s only a part of the overall picture. Recent releases have dug into no input mixer explorations, electric guitar fuzz, and synth drones alongside […]
Greta Ruth is an artist with a clear, uncompromising vision who isn’t afraid of venturing out into the dark, deep waters and seeing what she can find. Her recent EP, Milk Tooth/Hull, sees her experimenting with vocal-only compositions and finding new, fertile ground. I hope it’s only a start and she mines these ideas deeper, but […]
When I first heard Caleb Dailey’s incredible debut, Warm Evenings, Pale Mornings: Beside You Then, I was immediately hooked. I still can’t get over the idea of making a debut album of country covers, especially from someone who is still digging into all the various channels of country music. It’s a real moment of magic […]
There is such a lovely, calm spirit flowing through c o m t e’s recent album, Cipher, and he carries that same feeling into this fantastic mix. I’ve listened to it early in the morning as I was starting my day, half awake and it helped sent good intentions for the day, but it’s also been […]
I made it pretty clear last week how much I love Tristan Whitehill’s Euglossine project, but when he sent over this mix it managed to heighten my connection and appreciation for him even more. When I think about all the elements of what makes Euglossine click with me so well, it’s all represented here on this Mix For […]
I feel pretty late to the game on Peru’s Buh Records, but regardless of how long it took me to learn about this incredible label, there is so much good stuff to dig through. Started in 2004 by Luis Alvarado, Buh has released a diverse cache of music from artists all over the world. The […]
Whether it’s her own solo work or the music released through her label Flaming Pines, Kate Carr always has my attention. With the lovely fake creek, it all comes together in a enchanting, aqueous package. It’s an excellent example of what makes Carr’s work so interesting and engaging in that there’s some familiarity with the […]
Heavy Cloud stays busy. His small-run releases are always inviting as he shifts through different soundscapes and palettes, never moving in any real linear direction. That last part is one of the things I like most about Heavy Cloud’s recent run of releases. There’s always something new to be heard; new zones to explore and […]
