It’s hard to talk about Buck Meek without referring to him as “Big Thief’s Buck Meek”. But his solo work – with a little help from some of our favorite handymen of indie music such as Mat Davidson (Twain) and Adam Brisbin – is its own thing, with Meek’s characteristic voice paving the way to beautifully arranged songs. Songs that we’re definitely going to use as an argument when, come November, you’ll say, as always, that “this wasn’t a very good year for music”.
Plus: new tracks by Hiss Golden Messenger, Valley Maker, Wild Pink, Painted Shrines, The Besnard Lakes, Sun June, Pearl Charles, Jane Weaver, Julien Baker, Steady Holiday, Christina Galisatus, Alice Ray, Lael Neale, Midnight Sister, Workman Song, Cool Sounds, Plankton Wat, Chris Brokaw, Chris Forsyth, shame, Beach Bunny, Mikaela Davis, Renée Reed, Daniel Knox, The Antlers, and Barry Gibb.
