Have you ever been in a relationship that never should’ve happened? One of those situations where you’re just having fun with someone on the weekends and all of a sudden they have a key to your apartment and 7 months later you’re like “what just happened?” Too often we stay in bad relationships for too …

True Love of Crime is the astonishing debut album from Belaver, a singer, songwriter and musician alone but never lonely in New York City. Drawing influences from true icons like Neil Young and David Bowie as well as the more soulful alt-country stars like Bill Callahan and Townes Van Zandt, Belaver creates enervating, illustrating, deconstructing, …
Another Scottish band so enamored with old America, they do Americana better than Americans. Voice is off-putting, and line-by-line invokes every lyrical stereotype and standard in the genre… yet the sound is attractive, and the chorus seals the deal; overrides any hastily-conceived aversions. In short, quite a good song – Steve Stav
Mike Scott has always had a little Jagger swagger, fancying himself a rock n roll troubadour, yachtsman’s cap and all. It’s not definitional, per se, to his wide-ranging song-writing cannon, but it’s there in anthems such as “The Whole of the Moon,” “Everything is Rags,” and, most notably, “The Big Music.” Nearly two decades ago …
DajshaDoll is a majestically proud and hot female artist born and raised in ultra-Gangsta Youngstown, Ohio. She grew up around truth music and never forgot. The great ones never do. Her father, Soul, was a power artist who taught his little girl everything he knew before he passed away tragically in 2005. Doll grew up …
Chills, baby, Chills… These songs are a punch to the uterus of all humanity… Janis Joplin, Patti Smith, Vilma Flood… This album is audacious, internal, personal, portable, emotive, routinely powerful, protruberant, bleakly beautiful, true, clear, expertly played, precisely recorded, deeply felt and extremely important… Prick up your ears and listen! Coming out of a 2 …
The Portland Diamond Project is a group of wealthy investors dedicated to bringing Major League Baseball to Portland. Most of those loaded individuals and corporations are secret, but two of the backers known to the public are this lovely singer, Ciara, and her even lovelier Seahawks Quarterback Husband, Russell Wilson. The more you watch this …
Vibrantly colorful, Karmic disorients your mind while synchronizing your feet through savage electro-pop and fresh transmutations of instrumentation. “X Marks The Spot” has power baby and so do the twin battle tigers that sing and dance their hearts out in every Karmic tune, Kylee Katch and Laura Baruchwill.

‘In This Dim Light’ may be Beverly Kills most compelling single to date and further encapsulates the bands signature sounds as they suck you in with dreamy and infectious hooks then spit you right back out with raw and thumping energy.The initial tone of the song is set by Alma Westerlund’s beautiful vocals that flow effortlessly over …
Dan Wilson released a new song, “The Rules,” in keeping with his announcement last year to release a new song each month in lieu of full length album in 2019. These songs, which include “Fly Safe,” “Uncanny Valley” and “We Ain’t Telling,” follow the release of his critically-acclaimed 2017 solo album Re-Covered where he revisited songs he wrote with other artists including Adele, Chris …
I’ve got the killer debut single here from Norfolk guitar slinger Michael Paul Lawson, whose visceral lyrics recall the Sam Stone–Paradise work of John Prine. You can smell barroom pheromones and coagulated blood in the air on this one. This is carnal (which means both “meaty” and “sexual”) Americana with cinematic overtones. Suffice to say, …
Look Homeward, Angel from Cellista on Vimeo. CELLISTA is an avant, savant cellist with long, strong fingers and a missionary’s visionary mind who brings new, true, acoustically rustic elements of Kronos Quartet, Merzbow, Rasputina and Zoe Keating into her music and thensome, baby!
As fleet afoot as a Bavarian in November, fashionized like an occupied Parisienné, Madonna channels Eva Braun in this Boys (and girls) from Brazil – La Isla Bunker Bonita video. “Your escape submarine is waiting in the harbor, Frau/Señora Ciccone.” It’s not only Argentina that’s crying…
From classical church boysinger to radical march songwriter and queer, inscrutable pop artist of his time, Antony Carle is a talent who leaves nobody indifferent and always finds somebody to listen. As a “woke” child, Antony was very fond of his family’s 20th century album collection. He was fascinated and sometimes stimulated by the powerful, overfull voices, the residual, unusual sounds of bedroom lovers and …
Having been compared to the late and great James Brown, Lee Fields is taking over the horned soul and jazz stratosphere. He has released several exceedingly smooth albums, including My World, Faithful Man and Special Night. Fields may have started in the 50s, but his music is just as influential today as it was then. …
TSHEGUE are fronted by no-f*cks-given French-Congolese singer Faty Sy Savenet (she’s pretty striking, more via her Insta), who relocated to Paris aged 8 from music-obsessed Congolese capital city, Kinshasa. Her lyrics tap the struggles faced by the African diaspora, and the band’s name – also Faty’s nickname growing up – is slang for the boys …
This song is quite special too. Everyone should stop for a moment and give it a listen. This DC/NY based alternative-pop duo, CUTTS, began as a personal project of singer Lillian Cutts, who at the time lived in Washington, DC. After suffering a tremendous loss, she threw herself into music in an attempt to move …

THIS WAS ENGLAND: Some pretty incredible things are happening. I have been lucky to capture some stunning moments of songs being developed and created. This is where I wrote ‘Free Your Mind’ in Brighton, England. I also wrote this song, ‘I Don’t Want to Leave’ right when I got back from Glasgonbury when the Brexit …
I love this, and all of global East Portland should love this: a top notch bluegrass band with an environmental message. They can play and they can represent. Husband and wife artists Zoe (Natalya Weinstein) and Cloyd (John Miller) blend their long-crafted folk harmonies with fellow bandmates Kevin Kehrberg on bass and Bennett Sullivan on …
This might be worth a quick scan. I love Gould’s angel boy appearance. So tortured, so genius: it is as if he were cast by DeMille. Then there are his long, glowing, ivory fingers…
