This week I’m spending time with Cameron Winter’s Live at Carnegie Hall, a stripped-down concert of the Geese frontman alone at a piano, singing striking, mysterious, and heartbreaking poetry. His passionate performances move through loneliness, troubled identity, longing, and flashes of humor, wit…

This week I’m spending time with Phoebe Bridgers’ Lost Weekend, a haunted and personal folk record shaped by grief, romantic devotion, family relationships, and the longing to make peace with the past. Bridgers surrounds these stories with ghostlike vocals, static, distortion, and moments of startl…
This week I’m spending time with The Arcadian Wild’s Make It Out Alive, a warm, intricate folk record full of friendship, family, childhood, mortality, beauty, and jubilee. The band continues to expand its sound with rich harmonies, thoughtful arrangements, and little instrumental flourishes tucked…
This week I’m bringing you two records that approach time and memory in very different ways. I begin with The Mountain Goats’ Days, a characteristically sharp and personal record from John Darnielle, full of old bands, cultural artifacts, half-remembered moments, and the strange scraps that make up…
This week I’m spending time with Charley Crockett’s Clovis, a cinematic country and western record full of dusty landscapes, outlaw tales, dangerous young men, and hard-earned wisdom. Crockett draws deeply from the great western singers of the past, but the record never feels trapped in nostalgia. …

I begin with Office Dog’s Prime Corner, a punchy and lived-in indie rock record full of jangly guitars, garage-band energy, and lyrical images of light, dust, dirt, fault lines, embers, and ash.

In this brief recommendation, I reflect on the album’s guitar work, vocal seriousness, and sense of liturgical rootedness. The record gives these h…
This week I’m bringing you three records that feel like fresh air. I begin with Jack Johnson’s SURFILMUSIC, a warm and charming collection of soundtrack pieces, early four-track recordings, and simple folk songs that sound made for slow summer days. Then I turn to Stephen Sanchez’s Love, Love, Love…
This week I’m joined by Andrew Dittman — baritone, choirmaster, composer, and the man behind The Kyrial Project — for a rich conversation about chant, harmony, congregational singing, and the recovery of serious sacred music for ordinary churches and families. We talk about Andrew’s musical upbring…
This week I'm bringing you into my current listening life. No final verdicts, just  first impressions worth sharing. I introduce two artists I've been loving: GLIN, a whistle-and-guitar duo from Scotland making Celtic folk music that sounds like spring arriving, and Parlor Greens, whose r…
