“Alcuna Wilds is a British/Dutch band based in the Netherlands. The band creates atmospheric trip-rock music, combining ambient soundscapes, driving beats and strong melodic riffs, with rich, melancholic vocals and observant, reflective lyrics. Formed of members from both sides of the North Sea, their diverse influences contribute to their distinctive sound. Their latest single ‘Pulse’ was released in September 2018, and will be followed by the band’s third EP in January 2019.”

“Pill’s second full-length album for Mexican Summer is Soft Hell, a raucous, splintering dispatch from New York City that carries forward the free-associative ensemble feel of their earliest encounter. It’s animated by the madcap ingenuity of a foursome finding a sense of joy and play in expressions of caustic, black humor and incisive critique — a delicate balance of levity and severity they’ve been honing since their 2015 debut on Parquet Courts bandleader Andrew Savage’s label Dull Tools.”

““John Paul White voice was meant to be heard on its own,” declares NPR on the Alabama singer-songwriter, and former half of Nashville duo The Civil Wars. It’s been eight years between solo recordings, but in between he’s collaborated with the legendary likes of Jason Isbell, Candi Staton, Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell. White’s new record, Beulah, is a “wise, entrancing and meticulous bit of Southern folk” (NPR), while Folk Radio calls it a “remarkable record” where “the music and lyrics express emotion on a somewhat cinematic scale”.”
