We're loving this collaboration of Neko Case, k.d. lang and Laura Veirs! lang invited Case and Veirs to make this album three years ago in a one-line email, and what they've made is fantastic.
"case/lang/veirs, their first album together, feels like
something ... substantial and exciting: a worthy extension of three
tremendous catalogs, in which three great singer-songwriters sound
enhanced and invigorated by the challenge of living up to each other's
legacies."

Eric D. Johnson's group Fruit Bats is getting attention for their recent album Absolute Loser. After a five-year hiatus, Fruit Bats' new record is a great renewal of their old sound. Says Eric Swedlund of Paste Magazine, "anyone who’s tapped feet or nodded along to Fruit Bats in the past will find plenty to embrace with this new batch of familiar, comfortable tunes."
We've recently been playing the new Paul Simon single "Wristband" from the forthcoming album Stranger to Stranger. The album comes out June 3rd. “Stranger to Stranger is a set of songs that crack jokes and ponder questions about love, death, spirituality, baseball, economic inequality, brain chemistry and music itself. It’s the latest ambitious, tuneful installment in…an exceptionally long career.”

We've been loving the new Lumineers album Cleopatra! They haven't put out an album since their debut in 2012.
"The number of fans we have blows us away. I don’t care about the number of records we sell, I’m just happy that the music connects with people."
-Wesley Schultz guitarist/singer
