Editors' Review:
Sometimes, a band will record in a warehouse so they can tell people they recorded in a warehouse. And sometimes, they'll do it to sound like this. No strangers to the post-industrial motif--they're f... more »

This isn't supposed to be possible, right? An utterly credible trad-Americana group who could infiltrate pop circles? OCMS have taken back-porch folk out of the "genre" bin with a melodic mash of banj... more »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
