Marc Ribot is less known as a vocalist, writer and solo performer, but Map of a Blue City, an album thirty years in the making, changes everything. For a man whose signature is sonic profundity, not surprisingly, every track has more going on in those grooves than can be absorbed in one listen, making it fit for repeated listens. It will definitely stand as his must-hear solo showcase. Source

INNI-K has shared her latest single and video, Beatha. As if triggered by spring, it has a pulsing earthy energy, emphasised by catchy beats and a great off-kilter fiddle riff that gives the song an untamed sense of freedom, reflecting the vitality of life and the mysterious forces of nature. Inspired by a veg-growing course, Beatha could be an anthem for self-sufficiency. Source

Described by Hayden Pedigo as a 'microdose psychedelic album', the key word here is 'micro' because 'I'll be Waving as You Drive Away' is a very subtly experimental instrumental acoustic guitar album, full of tiny flourishes and touches that see it stand out from the norm. It's a record that feels meticulously thought out and handled. Without an ounce of fat, this is a sharp, elegant and subtly dynamic album. Source

Hot on the heels of his latest album, Time Indefinite, William Tyler has announced ’41 Longfield Street Late ‘80s’, his debut collaboration with Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), who also produced and mixed the album, which was recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, USA. Listen to the first song, If I Had a Boat, a Lyle Lovett cover, which clocks in at over 11 minutes long. Source

From busking on the subway to performing at the Cambridge Folk Festival, New York's theatrical indie-folk group Bandits on the Run have had a remarkable career. On The Shakespeare Tapes, they present six songs inspired by As You Like It and Twelfth Night. Together, they breathe new life into Shakespearean prose written over 400 years ago, ready for a new generation - true masters never die. Source

Taken from her new album, Second Circle The Horizon, listen to Sally Anne Morgan's latest single 'Eye is the First' - a rustling journey featuring a repeated slow guitar appregios and a more narrative-sounding banjo with organic sounding shimmering rustles conjuring the gentle movement of a breeze. While meditative, it also joyously reveals Morgan's deep bond with nature and how she intuitively interweaves this into her creations. Source
