singer-songwriter

by GetMusic

From the singer-songwriter underground, outtakes and inspiration collide: Matt DeMello's Jennifer's Appendix, Vol. 1 raids the vaults for garage rock pivots, GarageBand demos, and Paul Simon covers from the long shadow of 2014's There's No Place Like Nowhere. Alexei Shishkin's Good Times is a surrealist four-day studio diary — no blueprints, no road maps, just automatism and collage — while Solid Blood's Western Sun brings math-y, dreamy, emotive post-rock into the mix. Brian Jin's Horizons finds divinity in strange places — Hawaiian-cowboy-ukulele-jazz, dream-born Lennon cameos, and mandolin meditations — and Barrelly Ego's Bearly Eagle tackles a decade of world-changing events with allegorical socio-political bite.
