David Nance :: Staunch Honey

David NancePosted on

Though Staunch Honey is a bit more mature than the shaggy, rustic tone of his earlier efforts, David Nance hasn't abandoned that feeling here at all. The sound remains gloriously rusted and raw, but with room now at the table for more refined and warm manners. His guitar chops are on full display, too—noodling, riffing, and keeping that down home, rock and roll rhythm throughout in equally pleasurable amounts . . .

Dougie Poole :: Toshiba Sky

Dougie PoolePosted on

Dougie Poole further cements his rep as internet troll-country troubadour with “Toshiba Sky,” his new single and the latest installment in Mexican Summer’s Looking Glass series. With his wry smirk and sardonic wit, Poole croons awash a faded psychedelic choral twang, his deep baritone preaching like a country gospel cover star about a better tomorrow, one safe from the endless human tragedy pouring out into the streets. “Behind the darkness,” Poole promises, “There’s a screen . . .

Liam Kazar :: On a Spanish Dune

Liam KazarPosted on

As an arranger and composer, Liam Kazar's songs are not "lush" so much as they are precisely plucked—in his small-sample-size-songs, he layers textured pianos and synths, delicately entering and exiting the production. There's a swagger that Kazar has tapped into on both of his solo tracks, but it derives from different places . . .

How the River Ganges Flows :: Sublime Masterpieces of Indian Violin (1933-1952)

Indian ViolinPosted on

The music on How The River Ganges Flows: Sublime Masterpieces of Indian Violin [1933-1952] isn’t just beautiful, it’s often awe-inspiring. Beautiful in a way that verges on the scary, grasping at the divine. The 14 performances here are virtuosic in the technical sense, but also emotionally virtuosic, if that makes sense. The players here are almost surgical in their veil-piercing evocations of loss, longing, joy, sadness—the full spectrum of humanity somehow translated into breathtaking sound . . .
