“Intensely moving… If Dacus’ past releases have delivered a few emotional knockout punches, this album is full of them.” Lucy Dacus discusses the making of her new album, “Home Video” (Out June 25th), for Rolling Stone.
“This is how free rock & roll should sound.” Rolling Stone shares their four-star review of Mdou Moctar’s “Afrique Victime,” out tomorrow.
“His guitar playing is a searing, untamable thing… ‘Afrique Victime’ is the fullest portrait of Moctar’s gifts that he has offered yet.” Pitchfork names Mdou Moctar’s album ‘Afrique Victime’ (out tomorrow) Best New Music.
“His joyful contemporary fingerstyle playing blends the desert blues and Tuareg guitar styles with Western rock, psychedelia and jazz elements and if you haven’t heard it, you should. The consensus that is slowly forming is that he is not just one of the leading exponents of Sahel (Sub-Saharan) guitar music, but one of the finest and certainly most expressive, guitarists in the world.” MusicRadar features Mdou Moctar ahead of the release of “Afrique Victime,” out in just two days.

Prolific
San Francisco artist Glenn Donaldson is back with his second record as
Reds, Pinks & Purples in just six months and it is one for the ages.
“Uncommon Weather” might be Glenn’s most personal record yet, a
gorgeous and melodic snapshot of San Francisco full of beauty,
melancholy and absolutely sterling tunes. I hear echoes of everything
from The Chills to The Television Personalities to Blueboy, and you will
no doubt hear others. “Uncommon Weather” is a tribute to the mysterious
and enduring power of the best pop music and to Donaldson’s singular
musical gifts. We’ve teamed-up with our friends at Tough Love in the UK
to release this brilliant album, and it is out today. Get it here: https://smarturl.it/uncommon-weather
