Approximately Relevant

The Mountain Goats :: Songs for Pierre Chuvin

No topic is too esoteric for John Darnielle to base an entire Mountain Goats album on, not even the persecution of pagans as a wave of Christianity moved through Europe in the middle ages.

Grandaddy :: The Sophtware Slump ..... on a wooden piano

Twenty years ago, Grandaddy’s banged-up future was wrapped up in heavy production… now that has been stripped out, leaving only Jason Lytle, his songs, his piano, and his characteristic keening on inevitable observations.

Mikal Cronin :: Switched-On Seeker

A fully synthesized version of Cronin’s previous album, this retake offers the same moody melodies as “Seeker”, this time filled to the brim with the warble and saw of old-tyme synthes.

David Kilgour + the Heavy Eights :: Bobbie’s A Girl

Gentle music for a pastoral New Zealand scene, with tappity drums and soft jangles playfully jostling understated vocals.
