Sorry we're a bit late on New Music this week . . . I know you missed us, though.

When We Were Looking album cover

Louisa Stancioff- When We Were Looking

Label: Yep Roc
Genre: Folksy Indie / Bedroom Indie
For Fans Of: Phoebe Bridgers, Arlo Parks, Big Thief, Waxahatchee
Reviewed by: Len Comaratta
Stancioff writes with a cinematic eye, conjuring up richly detailed stagings for her emotionally charged character studies and her guitar/synth-focused arrangements are both immersive and nuanced to match. It’s a dreamy, nostalgic, snapshot-filled album that blurs the lines between indie stoicism and folk sincerity–a lush, cathartic work.

Donegal album cover

Altan- Donegal

Label: Compass
Genre: Celtic / Irish Folk / Celtic Fusion
Reviewed by: Len Comaratta
Atlan have been bringing the music of their native County, Donegal, to the world for over 35 years, and on Donegal they continue to pay homage to its rich musical heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture.

A Canadian Songbook album cover

Ernesto Cervini's Turboprop- A Canadian Songbook

Label: Factor
Genre: Post Bop / Contemporary Jazz
Reviewed by: Len Comaratta
Pretty much a supergroup, featuring some heavies (like Joel Frahm and William Carn), Cervini’s second outing with his sextet explores music written by fellow Canadians, including a Bare Naked Ladies (2) and Our Lady Peace (5) cover.
