J. Tillman :: Now Available Via Autumn Tone
Since 2004, ( Fleet Foxes ) J. Tillman has quietly been releasing records, some of limited quantity, some mostly available in Europe, but for the most part, unheard. The borderline-alienating starkness and well lived-in narratives of his first two […]
Liz Phair :: The Juvenilia EP (1995)
I truly loved Liz Phair’s early stuff, and the recent ATO reissue of her Matador lo-fi debut – the still-excellent Exile In Guyville – only reinforced my appreciation. While I can’t necessarily speak to the quality of her last few […]

The Southern Dream of Freedom
The Avett Brothers :: The Second Gleam
The Avett Brothers have been slowly transforming their sound in the six years they’ve been releasing records. They’ve winnowed the best parts of their rag-tag and raucous energy and truly begun to marry it to their growing skills […]
Beirut :: The Black Sessions (Paris 2007)
Black Session :: Studio 104 Maison de Radio France In terms of radio sessions I can’t think of a more fitting city for Beirut’s Zach Condon to demonstrate his trans-Euro flair. The covers cut for the […]
Ronnie Wood :: Sure The One You Need (w/ Keef)
Ron Wood & Keith Richards :: Sure The One You Need (Live 1974) I’ve recently been seriously dipping into Ronnie Wood’s debut solo album I’ve Got My Own Album To Do – a cutthroat minor classic if there ever was one. More about that […]
