Father John Misty recently released his newest single “Goodbye Mr. Blue” from his new album Chloë and the Next 20th Century. The single reveals Josh Tillman in a state of intimacy: a stripped-down, country-folk tune exuding warmth from fingerpicked guitar riffs and Harry Nilsson-inspired lyrics. Tillman was also inspired by hearty singer-songwriters such as Jim […]

It lit in me a particular fire — a fire signaling that this band could really cross over. While Belfry could go into dimly lit drones and dark jazz […]
Three decades ago, The Boo Radleys made a psychedelic masterpiece that was hailed by NME as one of the top albums of 1993. Their next album spawned a sunny Britpop hit and rose to No. 1 on the U.K. album charts, and the next one was rumored to have influenced Radiohead. So why is the […]
