 Jail Weddings
A nine-person-deep rock ‘n’ soul revue that feels like the Pogues as produced by Phil Spector, a soundtrack to a Hollywood-gone-Babylon left unloved and unexplored since the last notes of X’ Los Angeles LP. Their 2010 full-length Love Is Lawless was gigantic, the kind of thing that should be a film (directed by Billy Wilder) but becomes an album instead. L.A. Weekly correctly called it “a big, fine mess of weepy, quavering, hiccupy hurtin’ hurt, plowed through with a way-tough punk rock theatricality and welcome good humor.” (bio)

 Erin Brazill and the Brazillionaires
A sound that ranges from the sweetness of a summer's breeze to the dark edge of a sinister mystery, all played with the lushness of 60's Americana and a touch of gypsy magic. (bio)

 Tidelands
Tidelands radiates a sort of innocence; it feels about 30 years out of time. Some of the tracks would go very well with latter-day Pink Floyd and Gabriel-era Genesis. Amulet, for instance, spreads rivulets of acoustic guitar over slightly ominous electric waves and modest sound effects. - My Old Kentucky Blog

 Neal Morgan
"Possibly most broadly known for his work as part of Joanna Newsom's punningly titled Ys Street Band, Neal Morgan is a drummer of some repute. On this new solo album, Morgan combines his impressive skinsmanship with vocals to create one of the more unusual singer-songwriter records in recent memory: To The Breathing World is a dialogue between Morgan's kit and his harmonised vocals. Consequently, the percussion elements occupy a huge amount of space in the arrangements, aided by a fiery mixdown that sits on the cusp of distortion for much of the album. The vocals are contrapuntally very sweet, taking on a velvety character in their presentation and delivery - cushioning the blows dealt by all the heavy cymbal abuse. None of this would really add up to much were it not for the compelling writing style evident across pieces like 'Love Me World' and the arresting (if slightly discombobulating) opening cut 'Birch Bark Boat In Space'. On the latter you'll hear a complex yet fully coherent narrative that highlights the intricacy of Morgan's multilayered approach. It'd be interesting to see how he'd pull this off live, but on record it's really quite stunning and remarkably well crafted to boot." - Boomkat
