Bedouine – The Solitude
Hometown: Allepo, Syria
Album: From the album “Waysides” released October 22.
Review Snippet: Bedouine sounds as if she’s been plucked from Laurel Canyon in the ’60s, her music both effortless and beautifully intricate. Her lyrics are approachable, with a folky playfulness and poeticism. Each Bedouine track is a dream, a cosmic fog that flows easily into the ear, with the most polite seductiveness that enchants and ceaselessly delights.

MISST – Neerhoff
Hometown: Belgium
Album: Debut album “MISST.EU” released in June. Second single from that album.
Review Snippet: This Belgian harmony group constitutes ‘five voices – four misses and a mister.’ Having represented Flanders at the 2017 Ferrara Buskers Festival in Italy with a remit of ‘somewhat forgotten folk songs from all over this world,’ you can hear MISST’s pure a cappella roots on the beautiful final tracks of this debut album, ‘Libera Me’ and ‘Verlangen’.

Leo Nocentelli – Give Me Back My Loving
Hometown: New Orleans, LA
Album: From the album “Another Side”. The album will be out November 19, on Light In The Attic Records.Recorded 1970-1972 never released. From the Meters.
Review Snippet:
Famed guitarist Leo Nocentelli of The Meters showed off Another Side of his musicality in the early ’70s when he recorded a folk album that was never issued, went missing and was recently unearthed. Another Side, including lead single “Thinking Of The Day,” will finally get a release via noted archival reissue label Light In The Attic on November 19.
Nocentelli was backed by an incredible band on the project featuring pianist Allen Toussaint, drummer James Black along with Leo’s Meters bandmates bassist George Porter Jr. and drummer Zigaboo Modeliste. The 10-track album was recorded in his hometown of New Orleans at Cosimo Matassa’s Jazz City Studio between 1970 – 1972. “Another Side finds a young Nocentelli channeling his contemporaries in the burgeoning singer-songwriter movement (think Bill Withers, James Taylor, and Toussaint meeting up at Link Wray’s 3-Track Shack),” as per press materials announcing the LP.

Interstate Cowboy – Christmas Café
Hometown: Masonville, CO
Album: Single was released last November. Back to charm us again this Christmas.
Review Snippet:
|
To label them a Cowboy or Western band is way to simplistic and doesn’t give the true scope of their music, where you will find some Reggae riffs, bits of Jazz, small pockets of Folk and an amalgam of bits and pieces of the musical fabric that makes up music today. |

Lowland Hum – 2082
Hometown: Charlottesville, VA
Album: From the album “At Home” released October 22.
Review Snippet: That slew of conflicting emotions came to be heard all over their latest, At Home (a fairly apt title). The album opens on “Where Are You,” a song with sparse arrangements – little more than acoustic guitar and piano for most of the song – allowing for Lauren Goans‘ voice to take front and center. The result is highly emotive and beautiful, a feature of most of the record. The song came to her in a dream where she found her partner Daniel playing it to a parking lot full of fans. Waking up from the dream she grabbed her phone and recorded what she could remember from it, including the first verse which made it to the final song verbatim.

Helado Negro – Agosto
Hometown: South Florida
Album: From the album “Far In” released October 22.
Review Snippet: Lange has always had a delicate touch, but the general breeziness here is different. The prominent drumming of Jason Trammell has a lot to do with that: He’s a consistent presence, always drawing attention but never loud, manipulating his hi-hat and muted snare to keep it interesting. With the help of Trammell and a clutch of guest drummers, Lange shows that even his disco-inflected songs can still be tactile and rewarding in headphones—albeit some more than others. “Outside the Outside” is the best example, a silent-rave shuffle that quietly pulls you in; it sounds like it’s coming up through the floorboards, a song that you’ll only hear if you crouch low. “Gemini and Leo,” meanwhile, dials it up to near-anthem size and loses some of that magnetic intimacy that Lange does so well, like a stick of watermelon gum that blasts flavor for a few minutes then goes bland.
