Sometimes you just need to take a mental health break!
It’s all good...we have a refrigerator on the way. Also, I’m
starting a new thing! I’m going to feature an album each
episode!
Album
of the
Week:
Samantha
Crain
-- A
Small
Death
Americana is becoming more expansive as the people who
started the millennium off playing punk with a twang move on to
more challenging terrain. Crain’s A Small
Death
is a wide-ranging album that
dabbles in jazz and electronic music. Fellow Tulsa
singer-songwriter John Calvin Abney is along for the ride and adds
some more cosmic layering to Crain’s gorgeous songwriting. It’s an
astonishing synthesis of Crain’s explorations into pop and her folk
roots and easily one of my favorite album this year.
