There just aren’t very many—if any—albums quite like Reaching In, a fascinating magnum opus by The James McGowan Ensemble

The breadth of work, styles, voices, and genres, even, displayed on SINES’ Long Player, Gravity is, at times, a wonder to behold. Throw in the collection of cuts on random. Whatever tune you happen to land on will seemingly give you a different type of album—especially if this is your maiden voyage running through it.

Seven men are depicted in the album materials for In The Rain Shadow, the latest collection of music from MVI. Each has an instrument.

Singer, songwriter, musician, and producer Caro Granner has returned with her first single since dropping her debut EP, Cicada, last April.

Pray to the Knife, Black Bouquet’s forthcoming album that drops two days after Valentine’s day, is an unusual study in opposition.

If you’ve ever heard, let alone developed a profound fondness for, The Vogues “Turn Around Look At Me”, then stop whatever you’re doing, and see just when and how you can get a hold of Phil Gammage’s latest LP, Redeemed.

There’s some highly credible work to be found on Rise Again, the latest album from Smokeboss Militia.

Astounding. Amazing. Breath-sucking. These are just some of the superlatives that fail to do any true justice to the most recent album from Wabi Sabi, The Love Insane.

Somehow, someway, this trio (consisting of Kurt Ashmore, Mick Knudsen, and Vince Carmellini) bring in the funk horns on the leadoff track, “Ain’t Got a Clue”, a vivacious affair in which almost everyone hits it out the park.

Quickly hit up “Still Waiting”, the first number on Pretty Crimes’ Every Moment All At Once album.

Frank Clare’s latest work, Admiratio Magna, is a curious study of a man and his music. Perhaps a man and his piano is a better description, since that instrument is the only sound to populate this seven-song pastiche of moods, tempos, and melodies.

Throw on the Punk Not Dead EP from Spike Polite & Sewage, which just touched down on January 15th, when you’re just getting up from bed. Or just getting off work. Or when the weekend’s finally arrived.

If there’s one thing Negativehate proves on its latest Long Player, Shapeshifter, it’s that there’s some people who’ll never be able to play the guitar like this.

Crafty Chris Ianuzzi is back at it again, this time with a double-sided single, “Distant Suns” which is paired with “Wild Side”.

The primary motif for “Happiness”, the first single from Millennium Resorts’ forthcoming album In the Key of David, which is set to tear down musical boundaries with a late January release, is to start small, build incessantly, then overwhelm in strength and volume.

superWAV is anything but typical on its latest Extended Player, aTYPICAL.
