Will have to check Rowland out. If he is a Richmond guy he will likely swing over to Charlottesville sometime soon.

This will be amazing if you are in London. Great to see Blackshaw doing a show

And hey the Prairiewolf album is out properly. Had heard it once before already but can confirm it is perfect mellow Saturday morning listening.

indeed, great vibe record, ordered the vinyl, been enjoying on Bandcamp

i'm not sure if people here are aware of kevin mcfadin and his label sunrise ocean bender, but he sadly passed away unexpectedly earlier this month. the label was putting out some very fantastic psych stuff that leans towards this thread so thought i'd share. his partner in label kevin moist (deep water acres) said he's working with the family to get access to the bandcamp/etc. might be worth checking out to support his family, who i'm sure would appreciate knowing he reached people all over the world. i've been in correspondence with kevin moist and will share any details here
they also shared this- WRIR has some great community radio
If you would like to show your support for Kevin, please donate to Richmond Animal Care & Control (https://www.rva.gov/animal-care-control/donatefoundation) and/or WRIR (https://www.wrir.org/).

yeah, very sad! seemed like a great guy ...
― tylerw, Monday, 8 May 2023 21:46 (eleven months ago) link
Ah yeah, that news was tough. I only knew him through the record you put out, and his radio shows (which were very good, truly played things I have never heard of and seemed to boost a lot of up and coming folks not just heavy hitters). I have friends that were buddies of his in Richmond, he was clearly a well loved guy, just sad all around.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 17:10 (eleven months ago) link
yeah very sad, sounds like a really great person who did a lot to surface cool music

Aw man… some good stuff on that label. I didn’t know Kevin Moist was involved. Ever since we first met on DroneOn 30 years ago, I always make note of what he’s doing, zine or label

Really like this Elijah McLaughlin Ensemble record— maybe a little too ECM-y for these parts but fits the bill for me https://aelijahmclaughlinensemble.bandcamp.com/album/iii
― Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Friday, 26 May 2023 14:24 (eleven months ago) link
I really dug the Elijah McLaughlin record, tabes. Nice one.
Coming at things slowly as ever, the Jake Xerxes Fussell album from last year is just gorgeous. His catalogue is quietly magnificent.

hayden pedigo album is beautiful, "elsewhere" is certainly one of my favorite songs of the year

Hope everyone has been holding up well, still check in every now and then to see what has been going on. The new Gunn Truscinski Nace has officially released, though Three Lobed was shipping early as mine came through last month. Have been listening a lot to that one plus the new Pedigo. I think Pedigo's two Mexican Summer releases can really be held up as a nice pair. For older stuff, I must have missed this Gunn one-off project back in 2012 called Central Living, with Manuel Padding, for Blackest Rainbow. Loose and droney, it's been put on archive.org.
Cameron Knowler and I are doing the third run for his book right now. We originally put it out back in late 2021 but did an updated edition earlier this year. I think it's in its final form at this point, as we've kind of obsessed over every detail imaginable. Cameron has since connected (in-person) with Norman Blake after sending him a copy, which has been wild to watch. There'll be a new album sometime in the future, it's good stuff.

75 Dollar Bill has reissued their first three tapes via Bandcamp, for anyone interested in owning actual hard copies of those releases. Just grabbed the bundle with all 3. Edition of 400 for each.

By speeding through both threads last night I feel like I gained a decade’s worth of new understanding for my love of instrumental guitar. Thank you all for protecting this hidden cove of the internet. I wish I could remember how I web-surfed here last night.

The recent Magic Tuber Stringband record on Feeding Tube is really great if anyone missed it back in Feb. Here's a recent performance at Constellation Chicago.

Gwenifer Raymond did a last minute scheduled dc gig last night that I missed ( I was elsewhere watching a Sublime Frequencies doc from 2005 of Morocco street musicians, mostly oud players)

I know it's not strictly the right thread for it (even if it feels spiritually correct) but damn the Prariewolf album is killer. Also love how RYM insists on labelling it as 'jazz'.
― I would prefer not to. (Chinaski), Friday, 24 November 2023 16:15 (five months ago) link
missed this — thanks for checking prairiewolf out! getting going on the second album very soon. might even do some very light touring next year, haha.
has anyone mentioned the new Isasa record? I think everyone here would love it. https://repetidor-shop.bandcamp.com/album/canciones-de-amor

Hey all, dipping in to share this compilation that Daniel Bachman and WarHen Records put together to help raise funds for the legal defense of folks opposing the MVP Pipeline. A ton of people that pop up in this thread, or might, are on it (Magic Tuber Stringband, Sally Ann Morgan, Nathan Bowles, Edsel Axel/Rosali Middleman, Jordan Perry, Daniel himself), along with a lot of other people from the area. I think it is pretty great and of course for a good cause:
https://warhenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/stop-mvp-artists-from-wv-va-nc-against-the-mountain-valley-pipeline
Full disclosure: my band Grand Banks is on it too. I think we did a good job trying to find a way to make a 4 minute track, which is hard for a band that tends to go long hah hah.
― grandavis, Friday, 1 December 2023 14:24 (five months ago) link
Also, great job on that Prairiewolf album Tyler, it is great. Was happy to see that pop up in quite a few places when it came out and have enjoyed listening to it quite a bit. Also Isasa is wonderful, I am glad I have gotten to see him play a couple of times.
― grandavis, Friday, 1 December 2023 14:26 (five months ago) link
thanks, davis!
yeah, that comp is stellar ... a good chaser (with some artist crossover) is this one, too: https://spinstersounds.bandcamp.com/album/measure-pour-mixtape-music-for-cooking
― tylerw, Friday, 1 December 2023 15:45 (five months ago) link
Oh yeah, that looks great too! Always enjoy what Spinster gets up to, and some great people on that comp.

Yeah, I hope everyone listens to that Bachman record, I think it is pretty great. Gets better every time I listen too, nice to see that review and hopefully there will be more to come.
My buddy Tyler who is the other half of Grand Banks actually plays some harmonium and bells on that record. Really cool to me that he and Daniel collaborate here and there.
― grandavis, Friday, 1 December 2023 17:14 (five months ago) link
oh that new Bachman is lovely, thanks!
― out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Friday, 1 December 2023 22:39 (five months ago) link
This is a mate's new album. Broadly belongs in here, I think. At a conceptual level, it makes me think of Eddie Hazel; sonically, it's more Dean McPhee or Dylan Carlson. Great stuff.
