Larkin Poe, the dynamic sister duo known for their electrifying blend of Southern rock, blues, and Americana, emerges once again onto the musical landscape with their eagerly anticipated album, 'Bloom'. Following their Grammy-winning success with 'Blood Harmony' in 2024, the duo has ventured deeper into their musical journey, crafting a collection of songs that resonate with introspection, authenticity, and a profound connection to their roots in American music. The album "Bloom" marks a significant evolution in Larkin Poe's creative journey. All the songs were born from collaborations between Megan, Rebecca, and co-producer Tyler Bryant, reflecting a synergy that extends beyond mere musical partnership. As Rebecca observes, "'Bloom' is about finding oneself amidst the noise of the world, about wholeheartedly embracing the flaws and idiosyncrasies that make us real." This theme of self-acceptance is central to the album's narrative: celebrating individuality against a backdrop of contemporary blues and rock influences. Reflecting on the album's thematic core, Megan explains, "In one way or another, pretty much all of the songs on this album are about finding yourself, knowing yourself, and separating the truth of who you are from societal expectations." This sentiment permeates through the first song, "Mockingbird", a contemplative piece on personal growth and staying true to oneself amidst life's twists and turns. Rebecca adds, "'Mockingbird' is a tender reflection on the perpetual journey of becoming. When viewed through a reductive lens, the inevitable countless missteps I've taken in my life can feel disheartening - but looking too long in the rearview can be harmful to one's future. Choosing to find the hidden meaning in the pitstops and messy detours that life sometimes demands has felt like a very important perspective shift." Known for their sincere songwriting, the Lovell sisters place a spotlight on storytelling with 'Bloom'. Each track unfolds like a chapter, with lyrics that wind deeper and deeper towards the heart of Larkin Poe. Rebecca reflects, "Songwriting takes center stage with this record; the lyrics hit home in a real way." Their influences from '70s Southern rock are unmistakable, yet woven into a modern context that feels simultaneously nostalgic and fresh. The album's lead single, "Bluephoria", captures the essence of Larkin Poe's genre-bending exploration. Rebecca describes, "It's a rock 'n' roll rumination on the duality of the human experience, where suffering and joy intertwine to create meaning." With lyrics inspired by blues legend Furry Lewis, the track exemplifies their ability to blend personal narratives with universal themes; while the riff-heavy, psychedelic-flavored musical underpinnings make it primed for take off into the stratosphere on the live stage. Another standout track, "If God Is A Woman", melds lush sonic landscapes with lyrics that ground listeners in contemporary questions through the blues-soaked sounds of the Mississippi hill country; while the gritty rock anthem and punk energy of "Pearls" addresses the challenges of maintaining authenticity in a digital age where public personas are under constant scrutiny. It's a testament to Larkin Poe's willingness to confront modern realities while staying true to their musical heritage. Closing the album is "Bloom Again", a poignant love song in the style of the Everly Brothers, showcasing the sisters' harmonies in a deeply personal light. Megan fondly recalls, "One of our friends and heroes, Mike Campbell suggested we write a song following in the footsteps of Phil and Don Everly to showcase our sister harmonies; we took his counsel to heart, and 'Bloom Again' was born." It's a fitting finale that leaves listeners with a sense of catharsis and a desire for more. With their distinctive blend of poetic lyricism, masterful instrumentation, and soulful harmonies 'Bloom' not only cements Larkin Poe's status as musical innovators, but also reaffirms their commitment to crafting meaningful, soul-stirring music. As modern torchbearers of American roots music, the Lovell sisters continue their journey of self-discovery and celebration of the authentic self. With this album, Larkin Poe invites us to bloom alongside them, embracing the beauty of growth and the richness of their American, musical heritage.

'Everything has to be said.' This is the conviction guiding Indigo De Souza's sophomore album, Any Shape You Take. This dynamic record successfully creates a container for the full spectrum'pushing through and against every emotion: 'I wanted this album to give a feeling of shifting with and embracing change. These songs came from a turbulent time when I was coming to self-love through many existential crises and shifts in perspective.'

Faithful to its name, Any Shape You Take changes form to match the tenor of each story it tells. 'The album title is a nod to the many shapes I take musically. I don't feel that I fully embody any particular genre'all of the music just comes from the universe that is my ever-shifting brain/heart/world,' says Indigo. This sonic range is unified by Indigo's strikingly confessional and effortless approach to songwriting, a signature first introduced in her debut, self-released LP, I Love My Mom. Written in quick succession, Indigo sees these two records as companion pieces, both distinct but in communion with each other: 'Many of the songs on these two records came from the same season in my life and a certain version of myself which I feel much further from now.

'I feel very much like a shape-shifter with my music, I'm always trying to embody a balance between the existential weight and the overflowing sense of love I feel in the world.' It is exactly this balance that Indigo strikes in her Saddle Creek debut, Any Shape You Take. A listening experience that gives back, as you shed and shape-shift along with her.

Released in 2020, the record is an intensely personal 10-song album of vibrant country blues, badland ballads, ornate Americana and jazz-inflected R&B. Rateliff's warm baritone (ranging from gently hushed to a guttural howl) imbues these superbly drawn character studies with raw, naked emotion

On Before And After, Young chooses favorites from his playbook like a trip into his music history and performs them mostly alone on a solo acoustic journey. Each of the songs blend into each other and morph with mesmerizing clarity into a continuous flow of music creating a 48-minute pure and intimate listening experience. The 13-track album spans Neil’s career, from Neil’s early Buffalo Springfield contribution, "Burned" (1966) to the recent "Don't Forget Love"(2021) and includes the previously unreleased song “If You Got Love”.
 
As Neil put it on his NYA site:
Songs from my life, recently recorded, create a music montage with no beginnings or endings. The feeling is captured, not in pieces, but as a whole piece. Only for listening.

The surprise companion to The National’s April release First Two Pages of Frankenstein, Laugh Track is the band’s most freewheeling, all-hands-on-deck album in years. If Frankenstein represented a rebuilding of trust between group members after 20+ years together, the vibrant, exploratory Laugh Track is both the product of that faith and a new statement of intent. Reveling in the license to radically upend its creative process, The National honed most of this material in live performances on tour, and captured those invigorated versions in impromptu sessions at producer Tucker Martine’s Portland studio. Two nights later in Vancouver, the nearly eight-minute album closer “Smoke Detector” was recorded during soundcheck, completing a body of work bristling with spontaneity and vintage rock energy that makes a perfect complement to the songs found on its more introspective predecessor. 1.

The album features legendary AC/DC front man Bon Scott on lead vocals. His work with Fraternity put Scott on the radar of George Young, AC/DC coproducer and older brother of Angus and Malcolm, eventually leading to Scott replacing then-frontman Dave Evans in 1974.
