Album of the Week: Shabaka and the Ancestors | We Are Sent Here By History

February 3, 2023 Michael Lavorgna

We Are Sent Here By History was released in 2020 but it only recently landed in Barn. And I thank my lucky stars.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Kali Malone | Does Spring Hide Its Joy

January 27, 2023 Michael Lavorgna

I try, I really do, to pick music that my dear friend Stephen Mejias has not covered in his weekly #NewMusicFriday column because there’s so much great new music I don’t want to make it seem otherwise. Sometimes, an exception is made.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Babehoven | Light Moving Time

January 20, 2023 Michael Lavorgna

I fell for Babehoven’s Sunk EP, released last March, and their debut LP Light Moving Time digs in even deeper.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Oren Ambarchi | Shebang

January 13, 2023 Michael Lavorgna

It’s hard not to believe that our connections to certain music are nothing more than chance encounters that occur in transitory moments, flickering like a projector with missing slides until something clicks.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Jeff Parker | Forfolks

January 6, 2023 Michael Lavorgna

My father loved jazz guitar.

Album of the Week

December 30, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Outsider British folk troubadour Richard Dawson makes music to the beat of his own drummer.

December 23, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

A Blues is Boomkat‘s Album of the Year. Why?

December 16, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Dreamy.

Without music, hifi is a prop. Pep up your step with some great new music! 42 from ’22.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Alex G | God Save The Animals

December 2, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Kindness. Cruelty. Seems like an easy choice yet some people make the wrong one over and over and over.

November 25, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Music as spirit guide.

November 4, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

We have San Francisco-based Tompkins Square to thank for bringing us this previously unreleased live solo set from Mal Waldron.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Mabe Fratti | Se Ve Desde Aquí

October 28, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

We’ve talked about Guatemalan-born, Mexico City-based cellist, vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Mabe Fratti before, notably her collaboration with Mexico City-based sound artist Concepción Huerta on 2021’s stunning Estática.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: City of Caterpillar | Mystic Sisters

October 21, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Mystic Sisters is City of Caterpillar’s second studio album, coming some twenty years after their debut.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week+: Lucrecia Dalt | ¡Ay!

October 14, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

The wait is over. Lucrecia Dalt’s ¡Ay!, released today on RVNG Intl., shoots to the top of my favorite releases of 2022 like a rocket, extending well beyond and into the stars.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Maxine Funke | Pieces Of Driftwood

October 7, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

On Pieces Of Driftwood, New Zealand outsider Maxine Funke collects music from compilations and non-album singles along with new songs for a kind of mini anthology of her quirky folk fare.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Maria BC | Hyaline

September 30, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Fall is one of my four favorite seasons.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Sudan Archives | Natural Brown Prom Queen

September 23, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

On her second full length release as Sudan Archives, Brittney Parks sounds as if she was set free—mind, body, and spirit—to explore an endless playground of sound.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Valentina Goncharova | Ocean – Symphony for Electric Violin and other instruments in 10+ parts

September 16, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Epic.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Babehoven | Sunk

September 9, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Babehoven’s Sunk, an EP released on Double Double Whammy in March, is a slow dance around subjects seemingly trivial and epic.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: The Revelators | Revelators

September 2, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

“A meditation on community that caroms from root-down avant-funk to solitary cosmic minimalism and twinkling dubby ambience. Most importantly it is a deeply emotional record, the running soundtrack to a world in confusion.”

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Julia Jacklin | Pre Pleasure

August 26, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Julia Jacklin is one of the kinda rare artists whose music is always welcome, no matter where/when it shows up. Like a beloved friend or kinda rare relative that you actually enjoy seeing.

Album of the Week

Album of the Week: Jake Xerxes Fussell | Good and Green Again

August 19, 2022 Michael Lavorgna

Every once in a while, I want to slow down. Stop the steady stream of flickering images, words, and noise (internal and external) and pay attention to slower quieter things.
