Wavves

I’m a total sucker for fuzzed out loud doo-wop/60’s pop drenched madness and Wavves new album delivers in full. Based out of San Diego, Nathan Williams-who goes by the name Wavves-exemplifies every pastiche of where I feel anyone in their mid 20’s has been through musically. Whether it be hearing your dad play that [...]

Woods – Family Creeps

 
Time-Lag Records, with the help of WOODSIST, is doing a second pressing of Woods’ Family Creeps LP. An intact copy of the thing is a nine-course meal of broken-down, drone-and-moan music, echoes squeezed and flung through wobbly space and electric tunes of mournful, whaful fun.

Also, Tour.

Nimrod Workman: I Want To Go Where Things Are Beautiful

“It’s amazing that Nimrod learned and retained these songs, that he can compose on the spot, that he survived 40 years of mining life and many more years than that of tobacco and alcohol use, and that he remains at the age of 92 vital and able to talk and sing with strong conviction. He [...]

Davy Graham

Allow me to alienate myself for a moment here and say that while I love Davy Graham’s first album, The Guitar Player, I always thought that the sound was slightly overproduced in comparison to his first three cuts on his first EP 3/4 AD and a rare BBC outtake where you get to see him [...]

Max Ochs: Hooray for Another Day

If you haven’t been able to tell I’ve been on a big instrumental guitar kick recently (thank you Tompkins Square for making all my dreams come true). I won’t try to recreate the mood of this record in words but lets just say that there’s a gnarly east-meets-west vibe mixed in with some mind-bending atmospherics [...]

Kate Wolf: Close To You

Kate Wolf’s 1980 album, Close To You, weaves visions of vast, blue skies.  Mountains and trees wind their way to the ocean, with the breeze slowly, warmly, blowing.  Her music carries the feeling of people coming together, uniting strongly through their mutual humanity.  Learning to live in peace and understanding, they take their time and fight [...]
