For his second solo album, master drummer Jim White travels further into expressionist landscapes of private meditation; his vehicle, an evocative duet of keyboards and drums alongside his debut as a vocalist. Translating his formidable percussive intuiti

Ty Segall's new Possession sees him step away from the heady prog of Three Bells and into lush, melodic rock'n'roll. The sound here is fleshed out with pianos, horns, and strings, and each song (with lyrics co-written by filmmaker Matt Yoka) tells a diffe

The anticipated new album from BONNIE PRINCE BILLY (aka WILL OLDHAM of PALACE), his first since 2003’s Master And Everyone. Twelve beautiful songs enriched with strings and arrangements by RYDER McNAIR and NICO MUHLY, and the backing of “FILTHY” JIM WHITE

Active since the 1970s, Jill Fraser is a composer and electronic music pioneer with a staggering list of credits across music, film, television and performance. Yet her new album, Earthly Pleasures sits uniquely against her groundbreaking body of work. He

This classic recording from the LP era is back on vinyl. In 1970, MAYO THOMPSON (once-and-future leader of THE RED KRAYOLA) recorded Corky’s Debt To His Father. Walt Andrus’ Texas Revolution label released the record-but just barely, selling a few hundred

The date was March 22, 2022. Bill Callahan strode onto the stage at Chicago's Thalia Hall, flanked by Matt Kinsey on guitar, Dustin Laurenzi on alto sax, and Jim White on the kit. They all were feeling good, and it seemed like the crowd was also. But tha

With "Time Is Glass", Six Organs Of Admittance is captured once again in the intricate tangle of the fretboards, soaring in open skies above. Informing the songs accordingly as he went, Ben Chasny picked up on modes both musical and lyrical, threading bac

Hello, Hi: welcome in to a new room to play the styles and feels that lie under Ty Segall’s fingers, easing fresh air into acoustic space with an assortment of love songs flowering in righteous unconsciousness. Plaintive
