Grateful Web has a feature on Paul Givant‘s new solo LP. “Rich with golden-hued melodies and earthy textures,” the site writes, “Marigold marks both a sonic departure and a natural progression in Givant’s artistic journey. From shimmering mandolin lines to the grounding thrum of upright bass, and the vulnerable honesty of his lyrics, each track radiates with a sun-drenched sense of hope and heart.”

![@leifvollebekk is at radio now with 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, along with two additional versions of album standout track “Peace Of Mind,” via @secretcityrecords. The record is both ethereal and grounded, evoking a deep sense of introspection and blending narrative lyrics with one-take lead vocal performances, cinematic arrangements, rich soundscapes, and lush orchestration. Vollebekk – who self-produced and plays piano, guitar, bass, B3 organ, harmonica, accordion and Moog synthesizer – compiled an impressive supporting cast including drummer Jim Keltner, steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar (Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Rod Stewart), and bassist Shahzad Ismaily. The album was mixed by Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Arctic Monkeys, Tracy Chapman) and mastered by Greg Calbi.
@bedroomdisco: “By far the best work by this talented singer-songwriter to date.”
@americana_uk_: “[Vollebekk] has delivered a superb piece of work.”
@exclaim.ca: “Vollebekk’s subconscious is both amplified and reconstructed.”](https://amanaplanacanal.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
