Review: Steve Jinski – Muscle Memory Double LP

Steve Jinski comes back with his fourth album, a double LP that revisits and remasters his debut ‘Eventually’ on the second disk. The inspiration of Giles Martin’s work remixing Beatles records is tangible throughout, with songs based around chords and refined guitar work, but also some sonic similarity to David Bowie’s early work – especially

Review: Little Lore – Seven Stories Part One EP

London-based Little Lore (AKA Tricia Duffy) releases her second solo EP, Seven Stories Part One. Well-renowned in the Americana scene for her partnership, Duffy & Bird, Lore stepped out of the duo two years ago and now into this second raucous, but still well-crafted EP. Her songwriting hasn’t gone astray, with catchy lines coming thick

Review: Lainey Wilson – Watermelon Moonshine

When Lainey Wilson released her fourth album ‘Bell Bottom Country’ in 2022, it was clear ‘Watermelon Moonshine’ was destined to be a hit single. With the perfected country music tropes: young love, reckless (and underage) drinking, ‘first times’, summer. The arrangement of the track echoes the lyrics almost like a mirror, there’s twanging guitar married

Review: Jessica Lynn – Not Your Woman (The Sweetwater Sessions)

The bass drum might be the first thing you notice about this track. With a heavy beat and guitar embellishments that grow into chords driving the track towards its chorus. Lynn’s vocals have been frequently compared to Shania Twain and it’s easy to draw that parallel on this track. A reimagining of her popular 2016

Review: Gareth Dunlop – Tonight Is The Night LP

Dunlop’s latest release genre-bends and defies expectation. With elements of gospel music smattered with organ playing and a chorus of backing vocals, Dunlop never loses sight of his folk, rock and blues roots with his deep and rich singing tone. The brass section plays a starring role throughout the album, weaving together a full-band feel

Review: Alex McEwan – In A World We Don’t Know LP

One of the most notable aspects of McEwan’s new album is the production. His album is self-produced, created sitting around the kitchen table, a remarkable feat considering the sonic depth of every song. The Glaswegian pulls focus in to his lyricism, acoustic guitar but adds in the right dosage of harmonised backing vocals that make
