New #review today: "For those unfamiliar with #JohnHoward, the British #SingerSongwriter first emerged in the mid-70s with the now highly regarded Kid in a Big World. Although commercial success eluded him at the time, his work has enjoyed a remarkable revival in recent decades, leading to a steady stream of new recordings and reissues. His latest release, Overnight Bags, is a deeply personal collection of eleven songs." #ExposeOnline #ThinkLikeAKeyRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/john-howard-overnight-bags-6.html

New #review today: "#EllingUlvestad is a songwriter from the Planet Earth who leads a band called #Molo. Several years ago, I wrote about the album Earthsongs, and now we have the band’s second album, This Is Earth. The primary feature of the new album is that the quality of the songwriting remains at the same high level — these are just good songs presented with relatively few extraneous frills." #ExposeOnline #ApollonRecords #SingerSongwriter http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/molo-this-is-earth-2.html

New #review today: "#Evolución is a Chilean band that has been around since the early 80s, though their recorded output is sparse; Secretos is a live album recorded in 2006-2007 and released in 2021. While I can’t fault the players for their technique, the music is instrumental fusion-oriented rock somewhat on the generic side." #ExposeOnline #MylodonRecords #JazzRock #ProgressiveRock #fusion http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/evolucion-secretos-2.html

New #review today: "We’ve been following #CrystalJacqueline for many years from her first solo efforts on #FruitsDeMerRecords in 2013 and with The Honey Pot since 2016. Over the years she has grown musically, with her latest effort being her best to date." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #FolkRock #AcidFolk http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/crystal-jacqueline-friends-smoke-road-6.html

New #review today: "While recording their new album #UsAndThem found themselves pulled in two opposite directions, partly towards the pastoral and idyllic and partly towards darker realms, the result being an album that describes the different sides of life — the light that is at the starting point and the shadow that is always there." #ExposeOnline #fruitsdeMerRecords #acidfolk #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/us-and-them-the-lights-and-the-shadow-6.html

New #review today: "#LaNouvelleMusique, the London-based duo of #JoannaBeck (vocals and bass) and #IanDeSylva (guitar), have produced an album of ten originals plus a cover of #SandyDenny’s “Crazy Lady Blues.” The songs are a mixture of Joanna’s ethereal vocals, acoustic guitar, #AcidFolk, #ProgressiveRock, keyboards, and exquisite vocal harmonies." #ExposeOnline #FruitsDeMerRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/la-nouvelle-musique-la-nouvelle-musique-6.html

New #review today: "#JohnnyRichards is a UK pianist and composer, and #DaveKing is a US drummer (and member of jazz quartet #TheBadPlus), working from opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean during the year of the pandemic, 2020, necessitating changing files instead of rehearsing and playing together." #ExposeOnline #jazz #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/johnny-richards-dave-king-the-new-awkward-3.html

New #review today: "Back in 2016 I reviewed reissues of the two #Mormos albums on the Spalax label, and in the time since then, having reviewed a few thousand other releases, I’d completely forgotten about Mormos. So I was quite surprised to get a message out of the blue from #ErnieMansfield, one of the band’s members, who has released a live album, recorded on March 10, 1972 at Chat Écarlate in Paris." #ExposeOnline #FolkRock #AcidFolk #PsychedelicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/mormos-live-at-le-chat-Ecarlate-2.html

New #review today: "#JokeLanz (AKA #SuddenInfant) is an Austrian turntablist, noise artist, performer, and vocalist based in Berlin, active since the 80s. #PetrVrba is an improvising musician from the Czech Republic who plays trumpet, clarinet, synthesizer, electronics, and anything else within reach. The duo has toured the Czech Republic twice as well as performances in Vienna and Berlin, but Mutants in Siberia is their first recording." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/joke-lanz-petr-vrba-mutants-in-siberia-3.html

New #review today: "Based in the Seattle area, #AeTopus (#BryanHughes) is a composer and electronic sound sculptor. Iota is the follow-up to 2023’s Cup, his second album for Spotted Peccary Music and his twelfth recording overall. By comparison, the new album is a bit more relaxed and gentle, conjuring imagery and introspection, respite and suspension, full of dreamy hypnotic beauty and lush atmospherics." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/aetopus-iota-3.html

New #review today: "#JeffParkhurst is primarily a drummer, but on his solo debut he plays piano, synthesizers, guitar, and bass, as well as singing and handling drums and percussion. Stylistically, it’s quite varied, kicking off with the beat poetry and funk of “Freewheelin’ Souls” and moving into “GTO,” which has the feeling of an early track by Elton John or Billy Joel, with a hint of Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park” sans the horns." #ExposeOnline #GreenMonkeyRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jeff-parkhurst-dark-and-deep-2.html

New #review today: "Only one thing can be said about live albums from the 60s: with few exceptions they are uniformly terrible sounding. One exception would be The Who’s Live at Leeds, and now I present another exception, available as a 3CD or 4LP set, of the original #MothersOfInvention at the Whisky A Go Go on July 23rd 1968, a document of a performance that is legendary, though it has never been released until now." #ExposeOnline #FrankZappa #PsychedelicRock #AvantRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/frank-zappa-the-mothers-of-invention-whisky-a-go-go-1968-2.html

New #review today: "#Trapeze is a multinational improvising quartet that came into existence around a residency in Lille that led to a series of concerts as part of the Muzzix and Associés Festival in December 2022. The musicians are #SakinaAbdou (saxophones), #PeterOrins (drums), #MatthiasMüller (trombone), and #JokeLanz (turntables)..." #ExposeOnline #improvisation #FreeJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/trapeze-level-crossing-3.html

New #review today: "#Kurws may be from Poland, but they fit right in with the French bands on #DurEtDoux. The instrumental trio of Dawid Bargenda (drums), Hubert Kostkiewicz (guitar, waterphone, bells, chimes), and Jakub Majchrzak (bass) plays rhythmically complex music that is full of unexpected twists and turns, along the lines of #PoiL or Ni, though with their own sound." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #MathRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/kurws-powiez-fascia-2.html

New #review today: "So while Next Voyage may seem like a commerce-minded attempt to capitalize on nostalgia or name recognition, I’m quite pleased to report that it has musical merit quite aside from any fond memories we may have of #MikePinera’s past career. The set list brings together songs from #BluesImage, #IronButterfly, and Pinera’s solo catalog..." #ExposeOnline #ClassicRock #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/blues-image-next-voyage-2.html
