Gin Wigmore – Black Sheep

Brian Waters — Tue, 07 May 2013 03:17:39 +0000

The southern states of America held my hand for the first few months of self-discovery.

But after coming to my senses whilst eating [...]

The Lone Bellow – Bleed Out

Brian Waters — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:50:44 +0000

Zach Williams, the Lone Bellow’s lead singer and principal songwriter, can pinpoint just about exactly when the Brooklyn-based group serendipitously willed itself into being. It was around 9 a.m. one morning in 2010, at Dizzy’s Diner in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where the Lone Bellows guitarist and Williams’ old friend Brian Elmquist was working a shift. [...]

The Weeks – Brother in the Night

Brian Waters — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:58:29 +0000

The sound of wind through the pines, bare feet brushing through leaves, snapping sticks like the spines of the weak. When we started we were small and strong at heart, five southern souls damned to speak the truth. But with this responsibility comes pain and loss.

Night Beds – Ramona

Brian Waters — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:53:24 +0000

It’s difficult to say where Night Beds begins, but it could be here: August 2006, a young Winston Yellen is invited to a longtime friend’s apartment. They talk, they record a little aimlessly, and something exciting emerges. Maybe it’s a little later, when one is studying engineering in Nashville, and the other remains behind, an [...]
