Holy shit, when I found out that Bry Webb, Constantines front man extrodinaire, was putting out a solo disc I jumped with unecumberable joy! On Provider the softer side of Webb’s songwriting shines like the slow jam gems of Constantines records of old; however, this time round a host of fantastic players back Bry, lining these subdued folk gems with a beauty hard to describe, you’re better off having a listen.
Youth Lagoon is the reverb-drenched bedroom recordings of one Trevor Powers. With lyrics reading like pages ripped from a diary, Trevor swirls together guitar, distant electric piano, and dreamy vocals to create a mixture sweet enough to make even Paula Deen shiver. Glo-fi for snowy days.
For those unfamiliar with the lunatic ravings of Carey Mercer prepare for a cozy introduction. For those familiar with Frog Eyes, Blackout Beach et al prepare to relish in these majestic recordings.

Australia’s Dirty Three combine eerie country western film scores and post rock glory into a bonafide musical experience. The members have also appeared in Nick Caves band The Bad Seeds. Check it out!
Lioness is made up of Alex Hicks and Emily Smythe, fantastic music, pretty two part harmonies, and just plain great people! Dig their Naked Jams session!
The best thing about Cymbals Eat Guitars is how familiar their records sound, while at the same time sounding fresh and inventive. Like an old friend who comes back to town with a new haircut,a bottle of scotch, three dubes, and is down to get rowdy in the best possible way, that’s CEG. Their new record Lenses Alien is just a startlingly beautiful as Why There are Mountains and definitely worth getting a hold of.
