"Though it’s one of many such lo-fi, fuzzed out, power pop albums, this is the first that they have made available on vinyl, a big event for the band." @mythicalmotors.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/26/m...

"It is a multi-sensory experience, the imagination becoming the important sixth sense." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/25/l...

"It feels like a historic event, getting a new record from de Augustine, who recalls Nick Drake and channels the most beautiful folk pop of the 60s and 70s. Especially considering what he’s been through, in the last couple of years." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/a...

"Put this record on and folk the freak out." @yellatgod.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/22/y...

"KDMQ has a ghostly voice and is adept at spooky and beautiful musical composition." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/21/k...

"And write a good song, he does." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/19/d...

"Musically, it is an ambitious album, and Caleb’s voice, with its range and emotion, is a great way into an album that is filled with superb song construction, sometimes goosebump-inducing." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/17/f...

"But that’s the spirit behind it: just get your hands dirty and have fun, with no preconceived notion of what it’s gonna look like." @heavenforreal.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/13/h...

"The album is an exercise in painting time with vibrant colors that, simultaneously, allow you to escape time." @carolinedavis.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/13/c...

"Although she is an award-winning musician, it still feels a bit like Linda Sussman is a hidden treasure, 'Long Island Made' and with 'All The Songs of Peace.'" @lindasussman-music.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/12/l...

"Wendy came out on the other side, with something truly awesome and beautiful in this experimental folk album." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/12/w...

"...treading the path of rock n roll, faithful to the ever-elusive and ever-satisfying cool." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/11/j...

"If Nick Cave sang about American buffalo and kneeling before “West Rock” in the Northeastern United States, it would sound something like Paul Bergman’s latest record, Connecticut Cowboy." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/10/p...

"His music never speaks down to his listener, but offers a grace and encourages a grit to make it through life’s inevitable struggles." @safariroom.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/09/s...

"In that way, they embrace their punk roots and the punk ethos of fighting for what they believe, in short, concise, but adventurous song." @stillbonesband.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/09/s...

"A great find, from a city that never ceases to amaze, with new music in every genre and every taste, melding together in the melting pot that is Baltimore City." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/08/i...

"Really enjoyed this record, and felt like it was even more cohesive and catchy than their last offering, The Window." @ratboysband.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/05/r...

"She is actually a master at finding meaning, drama, and hooks in real life, especially semi-fictional story songs. I almost cried a number of times, listening to the record—her music on this album, as always, pulls on the heart strings." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/04/e...

"The animation by artist Gaia Alari, who has done work with Iron & Wine before, is the perfect companion piece." @keenanomeara.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/04/01/k...

"It is the type of music that would draw forth a tear or two at a local open mic, or encourage dancing and drum circles at a local festival.... Overlapping stories that find their way through her adept pen and seasoned songwriting."@acaciasears.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/28/a...

"Her honest perspective is always refreshing. And as much as she excels at the Dylan-esque talk rocking, there are some really beautiful melodies on this record." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/c...

"Recalls those indie rock pioneers, Deerhoof, with its complex vocal melody and guitar synchronicity and frenetic drumming, which teeters on punk music." @stimmermandotgov.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/27/s...

"They have their corner on the market of the 2000’s alternative rock sound, a genre that takes considerable songwriting chops and instrumental creativity." @visitorcenter.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/v...

"Like if Jeff Buckley went Americana, he fittingly describes his music as 'an unconventional take on the rock and americana traditions.' Like Buckley, he is a master of moody melody over intricate soundscapes, but always makes it his own." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/n...

"Oldham is wholesome and holistic, but never dismissive of the darkness we sometimes experience, and this album provides the much-needed companionship of a friend who has been there and will continue to be there." @signifyingwolf.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/b...

"Despite having a very different sound from each other, the split LP acts something like a show bill in a major city would: giving you the best of successful acts in a limited but satisfying block of time." @delpaxton.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/d...

"It’s an album that shines for its honest and intriguing story telling and its expert song construction, that finds Little Lungs more accessible than ever." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/l...

"Their idiosyncratic sound and the emotional depth of their songs keeps you interested for the duration of the album and makes you wonder where they will go next, in story and in sound." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/b...

"If I am a joyful person still in my adulthood, I have Half-Handed Cloud’s Halos & Lassos, which I listened to in my formative years, at least partially, to thank for that." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/07/h...

"Like the Beatles before him, when spiritual questions arise, he finds himself going Eastward, to 'The Mountain,' that epic spiritual metaphor of Eastern religions." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/03/g...

"This is why I review music, to experience things like listening to a new and wonderful Iron & Wine album. Thank you!" prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/i...

"The album, dark as it can be, deals with the gamut of human emotion and desire, and provides a thrilling soundtrack for the soul who lives on the borderline of punk and goth, sinking despair and aggressive passion for life." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/03/01/b...

"It is a bit like the indie rock blues, listening to this album: finding ways to identify with her listeners in their debilitating griefs and conciliatory joys. All couched in the beautiful indie alternative rock that Juliana Hatfield is known for." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/j...

"She is a student of song, and these songs, I think, will long outlast her, as brilliant contributions to the American songbook." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/m...

"He yet creates his own unique and satisfying cocktail of moody music, which relies heavily on reflective and romantic lyricism and jagged and jarring croon- and guitar-centric indie folk songs." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/24/o...

"How Ian plays intricate fiddle pieces and sings at once, would be a mystery to some people. But he also gets every limb working, with percussion." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/21/i...

"A revelation that takes the best of what Seven Teller has done, and puts a new sound stamp that accentuates all the positives and eliminates all the negatives of the band." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/21/s...

“It is poem as protest. It is song as solidarity.” prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/21/m...

"That is the magic of Jordan’s music in general: whether it’s his falsetto or his reaching keyboards or his hooky choruses, his music often soars and creates a soundscape that is full of new age-influenced indie pop sensibilities." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/19/j...

"It is here, I believe, that U2 really shine: dealing with compassion and righteous indignation, at the state of a broken world." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/18/u...

"The two bands go together like honey and peanut butter, Oreos and milk, steak and potatoes. It’s a match made in Americana 'heaven,' which was their destination, after all." @euphoriaagain.bsky.social prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/e...

"It grows on you, with each listen, and establishes him as a staple in the Canadian and even American Country world." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/02/04/w...
