Well, all, I’m back from my trip abroad and am ready to jump right back in to life here. Sort of. I’ll be at the Matt Pond PA/Rocky Votolato show tonight. They were both fantastic when I saw them earlier this year at Subterranean, so this show shouldn’t be any different. If you’re looking for […]

Marissa Nadler’s latest self-titled release, her fifth full-lenth album, pushes her music further out of her usual box of sparse, dreamy folk and into something a little more fully realized. Stand-out tracks like “Baby I Will Leave You in the Morning” bring a full band sound to the album, yet still fit well alongside quiet, acoustic […]

A quiet week, but some solid shows nonetheless. I’ll be at the Elvis Perkins/AA Bondy show on Saturdy, finally able to catch the both of them in Chicago. It’ll be my first time at Lincoln Hall (although I walked past it the other night and it looks way swanky on the outside), but I’ve got […]
