The Vinyl Countdown # 594

Karl Blau, Introducing Karl Blau (2016) I was sold – as soon as I heard his version of That’s How I Got To Memphis. And that really was my introduction to Karl Blau, a guy who has pumped out the indie releases over the last two decades but seemed to finally arrive with this album. […]

Aoife O’Donovan In The Magic Hour Yep Roc Records Much as I loved Aoife O’Donovan’s debut full-lengther, Fossils, it’s almost felt like a long wait. That record still stands.

case / lang / veirs: case / lang / veirs

case / lang / veirs case / lang / veirs ANTI/Epitaph It’s always really something when the final product delivers on the obvious hype around the project.
