Phil Cook is best known for his work with Hiss Golden Messenger, Bon Iver, Megafaun and so on. But I loved Appalachia Borealis, his 2025 album of meditative solo piano pieces. So I talked to him about it and why he's making a "big career shift" toward the instrument that feels, to him, like home.

Twisted Teens :: S/T & Blame The Clown - Aquarium Drunkard CPN Hollywell has a voice like a cat’s tongue, raspy but soft, with the rough-edged blues-i-ness of Greg Cartwright, the anthemic rock burr of Royal Headache’s Shogun Wall, the frenetic garage-roots e...

“There’s punk rock in the sawing, blistering rhythm guitar and country in the lead’s twanging ornaments, but balanced naturally, so you can’t see where the Ramones leave off and the Gun Club comes in,” says me about Twisted Teens. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/04/14/t...

For Bandcamp Daily, I wrote today's Album Of The Day review on the new one from Prism Shores (@prismshores.bsky.social), an excellent pop-rock band from Montreal with sharp command of melody, melancholy, jangle and fuzz.

The Montvales, “Path of Totality” A killer batch of Americana songs that reflect turmoil both internal and external.

@bandcamp.com album of the day for The Montvales!

"It’s packed front to back with a sumptuous blend of country, folk, and pop that backdrops well-crafted stories about people and places, struggles and success, outrunning the apocalypse and embracing the power of optimism.

Something to do after you watch the space-people splash down, friends. Happy Friday.
