All in QUICK HITS
“In an alternate universe —one where we all worked shorter weeks, everybody was genuinely concerned about climate change, and we all just got along— 'House Of Gold' was the biggest hit of 2010.”
“First heard Mama Got The Blues live on Radio National with CW soloing on a dobro. Utterly moving right to the last note. Another brilliant performance here. Genius!”
"“the world is pretty bad sometimes- but blithe field's new album makes it seem a lil more alright. so dreamlike- it takes me to a different and better place. i feel warm again.”
“A wholesome and rich sampler. Like a hot bowl of your favorite soup - perfect for winter. I can't stop listening.”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for February 2019.
“If you want to be the kind of person at the dinner party who has an opinion on whether THIS IS THE WORST ALBUM EVER or not… you gotta put in the work & listen to it first. The whole thing. And then you have to get invited to a dinner party.”
“Martin is among a handful of rustic modern classical artists out there, unafraid of a less polished sound, providing a sort of a barrel-aged timbre to his instrumentation. More so, his music makes my heart swell like few others do!”
“In this modern day life, so often driven by the harshness of striving and grasping, Luluc's generous yielding to time, awareness, longing, and a tender melancholy heart, connects the listener to a state of earthy grace and unfettered simplicity. My best find in a long, long time.”
“Holy shit. For a few reasons. First, WRF it seems can't stop making lush beautiful music. It's in his blood and it's a joy to listen to. The reworked songs here are awesome. Second, the packaging for the Private Reserve edition might be the most opulent CD I own.”
“I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that this album dropped at the right time for me. It somehow seems strangely familiar and yet different. Oberst and Bridgers work so well together.”
