New Music Monday - Americana Crossover Style

Today's #NewMusicMonday features a pair of a pair of Americana artists traveling down new sonic roadways, broadening their reach and the impact of their music. First up we have guitar virtuoso Molly Tuttle with a cover of The National's "Fake Empire". The video features Tuttle playing against a project backdrop of psychedelic imagery and protest videos. In this way, she turns up the heat on the post-ironic torpor of the original and transforms the song into a subtly searing critique of apathy. Tuttle, the first woman awarded Guitar Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, won back-to-back awards in 2017 and 2018. "Fake Empire" is the lead single from …but I’d rather be with you, an album of covers she recorded in quarantine. The album is out via Compass Records on August 28. Next up we have indie folk artist Becca Mancari . Besides her intricate solo work, Mancari is known for her role in folk trio Bermuda Triangle with Alabama ...

Friday Night Videos - Spoop(k)y Season with Matt Pond PA

Fitting that this blog should return from a seemingly endless slumber with a Lazarean video from none other than Matt Pond PA. "Halloween 2" is a sonic if not lyrical successor to the 2005 prequel single from the 2005 album Several Arrows Later. Lyrics steeped in horror movie tropes highlight this duet with Virginia-born singer-songwriter Alexa Rose . Punk-like in duration if not intensity, "Halloween 2" is both familiar and fresh. Steeped in gorgeous chamber pop sounds that wouldn't sound out of place on classic albums like The Green Fury or The Nature of Maps , the lyrics reflect the vulnerability for which Pond is known, tempered with what seems like a greater sense of self-awareness.
