With spellbinding vocals and poetic lyrics at the forefront of a cathedral-sized wall-of-sound, scenes appear and pass like a mind slide show, searching for the pieces of a puzzle that may never be complete. After all, as taken directly from the ‘Glass Figures’ gospel, “If we’re all tryna fit in, is this puzzle really a ruse?”.

Conor Donohue’s latest album, Stray Dogs, is a testament to his evolution as an artist. It blends gritty charm with poetic introspection in a way that defies genre constraints. The album’s sound is as diverse as New Orleans itself, with Donohue noting, “Someone recently called this record genreless, and it’s true. We served each song individually for what they needed, and somehow, the whole record still sounds cohesive.” This approach has resulted in a collection that’s as varied and vibrant as the Crescent city itself.

She subsequently spent a few years in the south of France before moving to Bristol, UK at 16 to study music.

(Including Live at Siren FM, to date, Cellarscape has released 4 albums and 3 EPs). The master recordings of this 2011 live radio session were thought to be lost.

North Carolina’s Stray Owls have a sort of broken sound but, wait… I mean that as a compliment. There is a certain reticence in their rock, a raw imperfect perfection, street smarts and a tendency to like things that feel a bit off. Just listen to Words that have a kind of crashing sound of Pixies and Miracle Legion blended together. A heavy but sort of tender 90’s College rock tone. Folk rock chords played punk style with jagged lead lines that stray so far from anything Jimmy Page could even imagine.

Kid Bowery makes sleaze-folk. Sleaze-folk has dirty layers and a messy personality and algorithms despise it, but rats around the East Village find it familiar enough for a good time. His songs nod to psych and writer-centered album rock of the 1970’s. You should also know that Kid Bowery is a sucker for narrative in song. And that he tends toward lushly arranged vocals but sneaks in the sawtooth wave wherever he can because “harmony is a tyrant sometimes, and a bulwark of harnessed electricity keeps all that in check.” Kid Bowery is pleased to have violated very few of these closely held tenets on his latest self-produced release, Devolver.

Featuring blistering guitars by Mark Vennis and Sean Quinn and a reggae influenced bass rumble by Dave Sweetenham, “In These Times…” draws and expands on the band’s eclectic rock n roll influences.

David Cloyd returns to the national spotlight with his first record in more than a decade, Red Sky Warning (out in early 2025 on ECR Music Group), and its lead single, “Ocean Of Hours,” out September 24th. “Where did the time go?” asks Cloyd in this anthemic new song co-produced and mixed by Blake Morgan (Lenny Kravitz, Lesley Gore, Janita). Answering that question lies in understanding why his initial and striking ascent to indie-music cult-figure status was so remarkable and unique.

On the 13th of September 2024, The Ultimate Dreamers unveiled their original single “Digging,” a haunting track that delves into a sinister sonic realm.
