alt199 Lady Lamb is one of the most sincere artists we have. Her music resonates today as it did when I first heard of her, more than 10 years ago Favorite track: Without a Name.

John Cratchley The guitarists first solo album (like the actors first Hamlet) is a hoop that eventually has to be jumped through...and Mary Halvorson has finally risen to the challenge...a truly brilliant improviser and technician (I remember being knocked out by a performance she gave with Anthony Braxton in London),she has added layers of emotional and spiritual patina to those skills...the pre-release track here demonstrates all those qualities in spades...I see this release will include work by Noel Akchote (whose music plays a key part in my listening regime)...
So,until its release "I eat the air,promise crammed"...
Update! This album is now released and I can "count myself King of infinite riches"...this release catapults Mary Halvorson into a different league for me...wonderful,wonderful,wonderful!

nathaniel "...and I miss you..." Favorite track: Shoe Song.

MDR RIP Steve Albini Favorite track: Prayer To God.

nullbun an absolute masterpiece of an album, from a pioneer who chronically sold himself short in regard to his contributions to the industry. i feel he'd probably be annoyed that so many people miss him. Favorite track: Canaveral.

J-p3 seriously tho, the range on display here is almost too much to process, swinging from raw, intense vulnerability to raucous and snarky self-awareness, all delivered in a folksy, indie pop synthesis that defies easy categorization. effing brilliant TBH Favorite track: Three Words Away.

McFingerfood My booty wants to move - and this is all i need to say.
