AU From 20 to 2, AU's new EP, Versions, builds joyously from the successes of it's previous LP, Verbs. Shifting from AU's previous albums, which saw lengthy lists of friends helping out and a live act that could swell to 20 with a revolving door of players from Portland, OR, Versions marks the evolution of it's sound into something more singular and...

Benjy Ferree For all of Peter Pan's fantastical, magical skills (flight, expert swordsmanship, voice mimicry, flute proficiency) the one power above all others that captures the imagination of children is his ability to never grow up. Gone is the foreboding future of jobs, bills, and responsibility. All that remains is playing, singing, dancing, and a magical land where you have friends with names like Nibs and Tootles. Fo...

A Sunny Day in Glasgow Opening with a ten second homage to Estonian composer Arvo Part, it's immediately apparent that A Sunny Day in Glasgow's new album, Ashes Grammar, is going to be a much more visceral outing than their 2007 album debut, Scribble Mural Comic Journal. It takes a few minutes for the record to even begin to reveal itself, as a swarm of 1950s acapella ("Secrets at the prom") gives way...

LAKE photographed by Sarah Cass LAKE's new album Let's Build A Roof [KLP213], produced by Northwest legend Karl Blau, is sweet, funky and nostalgic - a paragon of psychedelic pop.

Let's Build a Roof is like a travelogue of the places they went, the sto...

Matt Walters began his love affair with folk from a very young age. Driven by the discovery that music need not be an over-produced affair to be powerful and moving, he embarked on finding his own voice with which to create a brand of evocatively unadorned music.

His teenage years spent in the self-imposed isolation of his bedroom recording studio led on to become a journey of discovery from Melbourne to Sydney to London . On return to his hometown in southwes...
