Strangely enough, I can’t listen to Chill Out without feeling a deep, inexplicable sense of foreboding. Maybe my brain hasn’t forgiven me for pushing it to the limits in the 90s!

"Keep on loving while your love is strong". 'Small Hours', the closing track on John Martyn's 1977 album 'One World' is a sensory sensation. Recording on location at a lake, the world around Martyn plays a key role in the song's hypnotising nature. It is quite unlike any other music.

A completely different experience. When you’re young, you think you’re supposed to identify with Holden. When you go back to it later, you realize that you’re reading an adult’s portrait of a grieving child.

I’ve been a fan of Cass McCombs for many years and always found him annoyingly inconsistent, veering between brilliance and the not so brilliant.. but he’s found his sweet spot here for sure.. amazing record
