2019's A Broke Moon Rises was a necessarily cathartic experience in all phases; Papa M blew it out, all the different styles he's played in over the years, from folk-blues to metal, electronic, pop, Bollywood...all of it. Afterwards, with no tour dates around the album release (partially due to lousy clubs and their lack of wheelchair-accessible stage doors!), the day to see Pajo live seems like it would never come. Then like a flash of light, Papa M hopped on some select dates with Sunn... (read more)

Ten years have come and gone since Silver Jews, whose classic run was made somehow finite in 2009, when the voice himself, David Berman, announced his retirement from music. Where the time goes, we do not know. What do they say about old songwriters? We don't know that one either, okay? We're not good with jokes - we're just glad that there's always more songs to be written and sung. That's what raised up Purple Mountains for all of us, after all.   ... (read more)

So let this be a call for all to prepare to leave the house, as OM have just announced a European summer tour! Take a holiday, leave home and go with OM - this summer across Europe (or this month in the... (read more)

"Let it be known that I (Haley Fohr) once walked the Earth and chose to sing my way through life. Let it be known that one of these many singing rituals transpired on Nov 11, 2018 at Le Guess Who? Festival. On this evening Cooper Crain rearranged works from 2017's "Reaching For Indigo", members of the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra helped re-imagine this aforementioned music, Le Guess Who? Festival documented it, and here today we have Reaching For Indigo: GAIA INFINITUS: Performed... (read more)

The annals of Nashville, the 20th century's immortal Music City, are filled with lore of the legends, as well as tales of the one-shots, the lesser-knowns and the delightful obscurities. Like the outlaw he defines himself as, Chris Gantry doesn't really fit in any of those boxes -and now, 50-plus years since he wrote his first hit, "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife", Gantry prepares to release Nashlantis, his first album of new music following the 2017 archival release of At The House of Cash...

Rejoice! Bill Callahan's late-phase hot streak continues with his first record since 2013, Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest. 
 
After Dream River, Bill's life went through some changes. Good changes - marriage and a kid - but afterwards, it was suddenly harder for him to find the place where the songs came, to make him and these new experiences over again into something to sing. His songs have always been elusive, landing lightly between character study and autobiography, as the singer-songwriter often... (read more)

Fresh of their recent trip down under, No Age continue their intercontinental burst with a two-date blast to Japan next month! Like we've spouted since it came out, the Snares Like A Haircut campaign cannot be contained, it's a flame that burns long and slow, just like the smoldering heat that comes outta these two dudes! Super-charged with ragers, anthems, and the occasional torch tune for good measure, No Age can truly do it all, anywhere they want - get ready, Tokyo and Osaka! And... (read more)

Don't pinch yourself! It's no dream. Tim Presley's White Fence's debut album I Have To Feed Larry's Hawk has cemented Tim's place as a top pop pusher in this fabulous teenage century. Displaying a keen sixth sense for well-crafted songs, elaborate-but-delicate productions and trippin' guitar tones, the Presley's White Fence legend grows brighter each time a new album is unveiled to the world.

Since the birth of IHTFLH at the dawning of our lunar new year, we've been waiting (and waiting!) for... (read more)
