New Music From Boreal Sons
The Canadian band Boreal Sons have just released their second album Threadbare. Where earlier releases told stories and offered complex narratives meant to excite the imagination, Threadbare’s lyrics look inward, desperately searching for respite from the overwhelming pressures that come with adulthood. Produced under the guidance of Jonathan Anderson, Threadbare is an effort that is lyrically and rhythmically […]
Cloud Control – The Guardian Album Review – CMJ Debut

Cloud Control’s second studio album, Dream Cave, is going for Adds this week.

New Music From Cass McCombs – Big Wheel (Sampler) – Going for AAA Adds
Big Wheel and Others is the latest studio project from Cass McCombs. After a decade in music, Big Wheel and Others is his most encompassing work to date.

New Music from Cloud Control
Cloud Control has just released their second album Dream Cave. The album is the result of a hard British winter, a dank Hackney rehearsal space, periods of seclusion, and exposure to the musically sublime and ridiculous. Similar to their 2010 Bliss Release, the album is full of classic songwriting and melody. However, Dream Cave cuts loose from the band’s roots. […]
