Released 10th July 2020. Attempts to pigeonhole The Jayhawks have long been fruitless, as any longtime fan or fellow musician knows.

'XOXO' is the latest addition to the band's varied catalog. While still very much a true Jayhawks record, this newest offering finds other band members exercising their songwriting prowess and sharing in on voc...

Released 28th January 2022. Vinyl Released 25th March. As funny as it may sound, Anaïs Mitchell has spent the past 15 years in some kind of hell.

Released 21st January 2022. SK says: "Across three brilliant albums Georiga-born, Carolina-based Fussell has established himself as perhaps the greatest contemporary embodiment of the twin scholarly and artistic roles of the folksinger. For his fourth, 'Good and Green Again', he enlists multi-instrumentalist James Elkington (Jeff Tweedy, Steve Gunn) to produce and calls back regulars Casey Toll, Libby Rodenbough and Nathan Golub, while Joe Westerlund takes over from Nathan Bowles on the drumk...

Released 10th December 2021. Back in 1994, when Lambchop first lurched lackadaisically into public view, they seemed to many people freakish, outlandish, destined at best for the pages of photocopied fanzines and the graveyard hours of specialist radio stations. A sprawling collective of Nashville musicians —eleven were credited on the sleeve of I Hope You’re Sitting Down / Jack’s Tulips, one of them apparently responsible for “open-end wrenches” —they’d named themselves after a sock puppet, ...
