Album review: E.R. Jurken – ‘I Stand Corrected’: a psych-folk debut full of catharsis and melody

  • April 19, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
E.R. Jurken's first full missive into the world reveals quite the saddest tale at an angle, never telling, always hinting. It also shows an absolute grasp of songcraft, of melody, and an abiding love of British psych-pop and later American geniuses such as Neutral Milk Hotel and Elliott Smith

Album review: Cory Hanson – ‘Pale Horse Rider’: a psych-country triumph from Wand frontman

  • April 12, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
You might expect Pale Horse Rider to be a really good record; it's actually a great one. It's a record about LA written with all the perception and acuity of native. It takes the country-psych template and when it plays within it, it plays with grace and precision and blur; and when it shifts out beyond, it does with the dynamics of British exploratory rock. All points covered, no filler; perhaps its time to crown Cory the new Wolf King of LA. Buy.

  • April 5, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
You know what the best thing about Keys is; for all its intimacy, the focus wholly on how the two players and their instruments mesh,a real joy in creation rings through. William Tyler, Black Twig Pickers, Jack Rose fans; please come on over and pull up a pew
