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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
