Cory Hanson’s sophomore solo record, “Pale Horse Rider”, is our album of the week! Better known for fronting LA psychedelic rockers Wand, Hanson’s solo work is more on the mellower side, flirting with cosmic country – an unsurprising turn of events considering his whereabouts.
Stuff to listen to when your mind is warped enough (and your ear is muscled enough) to find neo-freakfolk with sweet guitar licks hugely enjoyable. Get a cold one, lay down, close your eyes, and enter the beehive’s spirit. You won’t get stung, we promise. Spirit of the Beehive’s record is pleasure percolated through aural honey, mind the cliché. And, just like honey (pun intended), it will age well.
The Hold Steady was the last band (part of) our team saw before the world has changed, in a year that started recreational, but ended kinda medical. Our yearly pilgrimage to London will unfortunately not happen in 2021, but they’re making up for it with their first proper album since 2014 (not counting 2019’s single collection “Thrashing Thru the Passion”). Our favourite rock band is back. Let’s celebrate like it’s early March 2020, minus the getting ourselves crammed inside a room with no masks on. At least for now.

Plus: new tracks by Crack Cloud, Silverbacks, Metz, Zombi, Bully, Tiña, Asher Gamedze, Ambrose Akinmusire, Yin Yin, Future Islands, Genevieve Artadi, Kacy Hill, Wye Oak, Samantha Crain, Widowspeak, She Keeps Bees, Sylvie Simmons, Mary Lattimore, Cat Clyde, Bill Callahan, Gillian Welch, Buck Meek, Astral Swans, David Ramirez, Dogwood Tales, The Texas Gentlemen, El Michels Affair, and Dojo Cuts.
