When she was young, Sinéad O’Connor spoke to her grandparents’ piano. The ancient instrument, its keys “yellowed like her grandpa’s teeth,” spoke back in haunted tones. I’ve got a new essay up, complete with a voiceover narration, about ghosts, the Divine Feminine, and spiritual protest.

Essential New Music: Buck Curran’s “Far Driven Sun” (Obsolete, Echodelick, ESP-Disk). “The vibe ranges from joyous to devotional, making ‘Far Driven Sun’ a comforting antidote to our uncomfortable times.”” Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2025/10/20/e...

Some recents. New @buckcurran.bsky.social is a real standout for me.

@buckcurran.bsky.social’s "Far Driven Sun" is an intensely musical, layered set celebrating his reunion with a 1990 Stefan Sobell ‘Butterfly’ acoustic guitar...a highly accomplished album, made with love and performed with the utmost skill and intricate musicianship. klofmag.com/2025/10/buck...

Buck Curran’s new full-length record is a dazzling display of fingerpicking wizardry that shows a total mastery of tone, harmony and atmosphere. All guitar soli fans need to deeply explore this album. recordcratesunited.com/2025/09/12/b...
