Editors' Review:
Sure, Joel Nicholson would love to be Nick Drake, but that doesn't make him a Nick Drake wannabe. The perfectly titled "Sleep at Your Own Speed" is run on tight melodies and sharp lyrics. In an era wi... more »

Editors' Review:
Marling is a remarkably self-possessed British teen songstress, and so the temptation to file her with Allen and Nash is great. But she is more interesting by degrees. Debut "Alas I Cannot Swim" is a ... more »

File Griffin in the same bin as Langhorne and Ferraby. Or if you'd rather go with less odd names, try Conor and Bruce. The Ohio native's "Flying Upside Down" disc unveils a crucial new bard of the Ame... more »

Editors' Review:
Margaret Wienk's Fern Knight project brings baroque string elements--gilded harp, rueful violin--into modern alt-folk. Best of all, it does so without the precocity that normally comes along with prem... more »

To describe Pepi Ginsberg is to run through 50 comparisons that aren't quite exact: There's the husky bedroom soul of Joan Armatrading, the post-standards suaveness of Zooey Deschanel?And in the end t... more »

Editors' Review:
Ramos' "This Up Here" disc finds a pop between the unlikely poles of singer-songwriter folk and beat-smart rap. The vibe is a winning sort of reconstruction: the sweetly sung ballad built out of spare... more »

Editors' Review:
Before there was "lo-fi" folk, there was every song Cat Stevens ever wrote. We'll put Langhorne Slim in the Cat category, if only because we think he'd prefer it. The hokily named bard makes a terrifi... more »

Editors' Review:
There seem to be two hipster Nebraskas: the Conor Oberst scene (heartfelt, slightly precious), and the seminal lo-fi Springsteen disc, which has inspired a generation of bleak moods and raw tone. Jenn... more »

Editors' Review:
White's music pulls off a compelling outflanking of insurgent country--its rube styling is surely more grizzled and authentic than, say, Ryan Adams', but White is also enough of a geeky sort to name h... more »
