New outfit Dust & Memory starts out strong an Essex Green reissue. An E6 classic wrapped in a dizzying blend of brass, flutes, strums & sonorous, soaring harmonies. The band's debut echoes Van Dykes Park, The Mamas and The Papas, Left Banke, Sagittarius, & just a touch of Ye Ye pop. bit.ly/4phpojE

The first single from Fazed On A Pony is stripped back, tangled up in easy strums and the soft glow of slide and steel. There’s an ache to “Heart Goes Blank,” the kind of beaten, but buoyant songs that bring to mind Jason Molina or the Palace revisited phase of Will Oldham. bit.ly/4psix7m

The last few years I’ve rounded up some of the best indie pop into bouquets of jangles, in the tradition of Sarah Records comps, and this year proved more packed than most. Here’s just over 90 minutes of the best bittersweet moments from the last year or so. bit.ly/3MeP5Di

The album drapes the listener in dreary daydreams, velveteen hooks that sigh and slump against the speakers. It’s the kind of measured charm that’s usually reserved for revered, foundational bands, but on their third release Strange Passage makes it feel rather effortless. bit.ly/4qKSObK

“St Mary’s Pass,” jangles easy, stuck to a steady beat and buoyed by a subtle stab of horns. The song’s an ode to a particularly tricky stretch of Tasmanian road and a rental car with an insatiable need for gas, a scrape that songwriter Mark Monnone barely breezed out of at the time. bit.ly/4qIWbjt
