Staff Recommendations: Lambchop
Merge Records main-stay Lambchop… has a style that is distinctly their own, bringing together alt-country, chamber pop, jazz, and more with a deep (and awesome) sense of strangeness that completely cancels out any preciousness that the previously mentioned genres might imply. They’ve been putting out consistently great albums since the mid-90s, and their most recent

Staff Recommendations: Pedro Soler & Gaspar Claus
I’m not an expert on flamenco by any stretch — in fact, I’d say I know nothing about flamenco — and I knew nothing of Pedro Soler & Gaspar Claus until about a month ago. But since I got the duo’s new album Barlande… I haven’t been able to stop listening to it. Their performances

Staff Recommendations: The Sinking of the Titanic
“The Sinking of the Titanic”… uses aleatoric practices and indeterminate instrumentation to create dramatic effect and narrative arc. This is a great opportunity to hear some interesting musical devices in practice. The piece employs off-stage music and does not use a conductor but is organized by each player’s individual timer. It is successful in its

As a North Carolina native, I’ve been following Ari Picker’s music career for over a decade. His work with Lost in the Trees… is such a beautiful balance of intricacy and delicacy. Ari and his ensemble have created a true folk symphony that is filled with honesty and depth that is nothing short of breathtaking.
Staff Recommendations: The Alone Together Tour
The Alone Together Tour… will doubtlessly be awesome. I know doing the solo thing is nothing new, but you have to admit that the phenomenon has enjoyed special vigor lately. For instance, I just saw Nat Baldwin play a solo set with just a double bass, and the kind of intimacy that set-up affords an
