It may feel like we’ve known about supergroup I’m With Her for some years now because of their spontaneous performances at music festivals like Newport Folk and Telluride Bluegrass, and then, last year, an EP release and short tour with Punch Brothers.

NEW RELEASES, 2/9: FRANZ FERDINAND, MGMT, BRIAN FALLON, DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL, RUBY BOOTS & more!
On her Bloodshot Records debut, Ruby Boots continues to map out a polished-yet-fearless, bare-knuckled self, previously hinted at on her last album, Solitude. The album rips right open with “It’s So Cruel,” strutting through the door with dual harmonic, bawdy, fuzzed-out guitars, reminiscent of a glammy, ‘70s southern-rock-soaked Queens of the Stone Age. It all…

NEW RELEASES, 2/2: JAMES HUNTER SIX, THE WOOD BROTHERS, BARDO POND, KYLE CRAFT, JOHANN JOHANNSSON and an amazing reissue from ROXY MUSIC

The Wood Brothers seem to fall into the first category as they release…

Horizon fave BELLE ADAIR releases a dream-rock gem called TUSCUMBIA, in-stock now from SINGLE LOCK RECORDS, straight outta Alabama!
Combining mellow, atmospheric rock and swirling, retro power-pop, it’s more Big Star than Swampers, but it’s an ideal gateway into the blissed-out world of Belle Adair, a group that manages to make even worry and isolation sound inviting. Recorded at Muscle Shoals’ legendary FAME Studios with Wilco producer/engineer Tom Schick, Tuscumbia calls to mind everything…

The ninth studio album from Calexico, The Thread That Keeps Us is a timely snapshot of the Arizona-bred band: a family portrait capturing their stylistic variety and unpredictability while still finding solace in limitless creativity.

The exciting and adventurous BROOKLYN RIDER have created another masterful collaboration with PHILIP GLASS, releasing his “String Quartets Nos. 6 & 7” on Orange Mountain Music.
It’s often said that the distilled essence of composers can be heard in their string quartets. And so it is with Glass, whose quartets here show a craftsman of considerable invention. String Quartet No. 6 begins as a bustling burst of dense energy, its second movement beautifully meandering, rich, and complex. The single-movement String Quartet…
