All Them Witches - "Diamond" - 2018
"ATW is the latest album from All Them Witches, a Nashville psych-rock band that nods to Blue Cheer, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and all manner of Seventies rock, yet doesn't fall into the standard traps that ensnare much of the Deep Purple-worshipping masses and every bell-bottomed guitar player to ever hit a fuzz pedal. Across eight new tracks, All Them Witches dabble in Moody Blues-esque psychedelic pop, Zeppelin-tinged blues and riffy hard rock, all while still somehow managing to sound fresh and original."
-Revolver
"Another 52-minute furnace blast of mind-bending rawk...
There are plenty of bands trying to capture this distressing atmosphere of dread, uncertainty and slowly enveloping darkness, but few do it with the class, subtlety and controlled intensity of All Them Witches. Five albums in, they are confident in their abilities and seem poised for a remarkable future."
-American Songwriter
The Desert - Gone - 2018
“’Gone’ is about losing something or someone abruptly and how that can make you go a bit crazy. Gina’s voice is quite hoarse in the recording, which helps convey the desperation& frustration. There’s also a kind of excitement in that ‘fuck it’ feeling. The track is overall more positive than negative with each chorus ending ‘but I’ll find somewhere to put it’”.

Greg Laswell - Will Not Resign - 2018
such beautiful despair…
There is a universality to Next Time and at no point does Laswell seem narcissistic or self-centered. Rather, the themes of redemption, frustration with progress, or the clarity of introspection are conspicuous in their commonality.

Untitled Love Songs, A Tribute To Moose - 2018
Perhaps this was the most difficult project to have been conceived. Mainly for the mysteries and secrets surrounding the trajectory of perhaps the most obscure and unfortunately forgotten band of the original shoegaze generation, Moose.

Sadclub - Oww, My Feelings - 2018
nice release, doesn't demand too much rather soothes your indie rock tendencies…
Julia Kent & Jean D.L. - The Great Lake Swallows - 2018
The album is an aching, ambient wonderland that ensues beauty at every turn. It was built as a whole and, indeed, should be consumed as a whole. The repetition is hypnotising, a lulling sense of calm entwined in hints of unease that flows seamlessly in and out of sleepy melodies and broken drones. Unfolding over a brief twenty-six minutes, The Great Lake Swallows cannot out-stay its welcome. Everything contained within feels necessary, each movement informing the next, a conversation between two outstanding musicians.
Futura Synk - Broken Town - 2018
“There’s a place where lovers go, to cry their troubles away…”
Ricky Nelson – Lonesome Town

- The 405

- A.V. Club

Music For Sleep - Infinite Loops: A Song For Quiet Wednesday Nights - 2018
Tom Rimshot Dimly lit corners in an ornately decorated but empty dining room. Thick reams of curtains block off the windows, and the last strains of purple sunset bleed through the edges of the cloth. A glass ashtray sits on a white table, lined with gold floral adornments - a half-smoked cigarette still smoldering in it. The slow lines of grey billow up in the darkness and disappear into a black ceiling that may as well be the abyssal void of space.

Alison Cotton - All Is Quiet At The Ancient Theatre - 2018
A solo project in the truest sense, viola, recorder, percussion and mesmerising voice are the instruments in Alison’s orchestra as she takes the stage at the Ancient Theatre. Rich sound breaks the stillness. Drone dreams seep through sepia photographs. Nothing here now but the improvised recordings, captured on two sides of cassette tape.
j.knife - New Hobby (2018, demo)
Oh wow another shit one I wrote
Oh wow why don't I give up and go
Oh wow thought it could work this time
Oh wow letting you down’s my new hobby
My new hobby
Oh wow I messed up the chords again
Oh wow my lyrics don’t feel the same
Oh wow since when did I use the drums
Oh wow letting you down’s my new hobby
My new hobby
and I don’t think about it anymore
Michael Cera - Best I Can (feat. Sharon Van Etten) - 2018
was it a dream we shared?
or was I half awake
once in the night you took my hand, I know you're still with me
listen to how the trees
tap on our windowpane
no matter what the case may be I'll always be right here
all I needed was your love
I'll be with you through and through
tell me that you love me so
I will always do the best I can for you
sometimes it's like a plane
passing the golden sun
rains wash away the afterglow
puddles evaporate
all I needed was your love
I'll be with you through and through
I know that you love me so
I will always do the best I can for you
wished bone - cellar belly - 2018
such simplicity such melody… excellent stuff out of VT - connects me to a place where I can feel authentic expression…
Woolen Men - Post - 2018
News Paper The perfect combination of creativity and simplicity and not just another band piling on pedals to hide their boring, badly written songs. They know exactly where to rein it in and exactly where to insert a bass line, a fill, or a groovy guitar noodle to make you involuntarily air drum. Thoughtful and relatable.
Johanna Samuels - Have a Good One - 2018
27-year-old Johanna Samuels broadens the definition of pop music. The melodically and lyrically focused singer-songwriter stands on the shoulders of the great musicians of the 1960’s and 70’s she manages to create a sound and sense of musical place that is completely her own.
Don Babylon - “Lose Sometimes" - 2018
Premiering emotional and gritty new track “Lose Sometimes”—Don Babylon’s first single from their upcoming LP.
"Yet even with the sold out venues, they’re not afraid to go back to their punk rock roots and be inspired by everything around them."
-Elena Childers, BTR Today
Christopher Pellnat - Liftoff - 2018
The "folk" feel of these songs is anchored by acoustic guitar and dulcimer, while embracing instrument combinations that include clarinet, violin, flute, and accordion, as well as some electronic sound. The songs on this record are strange little works of art that are drawn from the search for something of substance and meaning amid all the chaos we see everywhere.

Emilie Zoé - Dead-End Tape - 2018
14th dec. 2014, Pascal drove Emilie and me to that fabulous place he calls LE GLAUCAL in Courfaivre, Jura, Suisse. His collective of sweet talking weirdos turned this ancient shooting camp in an ali baba cavern. It's jam packed with music toys of all kinds; pawn shop amps, shit keys, lo-fi drums, all transformed and crooked to perfection. We spent five days there in between my 4-tracks portastudio and the fire place. Emilie found a rusty arc top Aria and a spring reverb. She seemed to have millions of songs to record, so we kept it as simple as it needed. Guitar, vocals and some of my favorite noises far in the back. Emilie straight on tape and nothing or nobody to stand on her way. On the wall was written "dead end" and we never knew why. We smelled so bad (cheese, sweat and smoke) on our way back that people in the train were changing seats to avoid us. (Louis Jucker)

Dolores Haze - Play Hard Fuck Hard Love Hard - 2018
“This song is for all destructive party people, looking for love in the wrong places, loving the wrong people too hard. Giving so much but never seem to feel content. Going around in the same circles. End up feeling nothing but emptiness”
Osborne Again - 'Stay Inside' A Compilation of Quality Music - 2018
