The Lacking Permanence

Aggressive debut from this UK band features some highly dynamic songs loaded with twisty hooks.

Thile (THEE-lee) is a world-class mandolinist who also happens to have replaced Garrison Keillor as the host of that Wobegon show. Subtle and introspective.

An interesting set of covers for solo piano, performed live

Posthumous release from one of the strongest voices in modern soul.

I'm really going to miss Sharon's voice and her uncompromising work ethic.

Cross-cultural collaboration mixes up a Balkan frenzy with dope beats and MC’ing

The title and a first listen make you think this is a retro thing, but it is more of a weird synthesis from a group of Scandinavian musicians.

Another stunning set of songs from these Vancouverites, full of fuzz and dynamics.

This song by La Louma sure is a catchy anthem for us skeptics and cynics.

This is Ian Svenonius’ latest foray, a beatbox-backed recitation of lackadaisical poetry swimming in over-the-top soul delivery.
