Album:Taxidermy
You Should KnowEnglishman is the songwriting vehicle for Lexington, Kentucky-based Andrew English. The songs on his new EP were recorded at his apartment home in Kentucky but his live shows employ the talents of members of The Scourge Of The Sea, of which he is also a part of, and These United States. On his EP Taxidermy, English composes mellow bedroom folk-pop with wistful lyrics. The 5-songs...

Ah Holly Fam'ly

Artist:
-
Album:
You Should KnowOriginally from Idaho, Portland transplants Ah Holly Fam'ly create a rustic brand of folk laced with infectious melodies and organic instrumentation. While the Sufjan-ish pastoral folk arrangements on their new album Reservoir are surely lovely, the band's true strength is in its dueling girl/guy harmonies. It's surprising that a band that creates such lushly sparse music is actu...

Album:

Track:
New WaxA.A. Bondy's rustic 2007 debut American Hearts was the sort of album that left folk fans salivating for more. With a deft understanding of song structure and an understated yet genius knack for image-driven wordplay, not to mention a wonderful voice, the once-member of 90's grunge/rock band Verbena established himself as a songwriting force. On his new album When The Devil's Loose, which...

New WaxAs the title suggests, Mike Kinsella's newest contribution under the Owen moniker is a bit of a departure both musically and thematically. Recorded over the course of two years, New Leaves, which is being released September 22 on Polyvinyl Records, enlists the expertise of multiple engineers such as Tim Iseler (Wilco), Brian Deck (Iron & Wine), and Graeme Gibson (Califone), whereas previ...

Album:Eskimo Snow

Track:
New WaxLast year's Why? album Alopecia, for lack of better terminology, kicked my ass. It was the first I'd heard of Yoni Wolf and company's hip-hop infused art rock and it worked itself into my top ten albums of the year. Wolf's wordplay, which is, as far as I'm concerned, without comparison, is equal parts genius and untethered absurdity. Wolf still juggles poignant introspection with too-muc...
