Grateful Web exclusive: The new spy-noir video from Scott Helland’s Guitarmy of One
“Oh, you were in Deep Wound?”: an FAQ for punk roots thrasher Scott Helland, whose prolific songwriting has yielded over 30 records since the ’80s, ever since that fateful flyer fell into the hands of lo-fi heroes, J Mascis and Lou Barlow. Helland has since opened for many great rock bands, including Hüsker Dü, Black Flag w/ Henry Rollins, Cro-Mags, COC, 7 Seconds and more.
Eventually, Helland jettisoned punk rock and thrash metal in the ’90s, picking up an acoustic that he began strumming and chasing after atmospheric melodies and the songs that came with it. He relied on looping and self-sufficiency, which eventually led him down a path of spy-noir instrumentals, inspired by The Rockford Files, The Man from Uncle, I Spy, and others from childhood immersion.
In the tight-lipped, complex and solitary characters celebrated in those shows, Helland finds an analog for his own go-it-alone forays into stylish post-punk guitar composition. “I like the thought of providing music for a movie inside someone’s head,” he says. Thus, his solo career under the moniker Guitarmy of One was born.
The title ‘Overtones of Hercule and Holmes’ is a tipping of the hat to those classic detective characters. Hercule Poirot is from the Agatha Christie series and Holmes, of course, is from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series. “I took my perception of those characters and wrote a soundtrack for them,” Helland says. This song fits with the rest of the album, The Spy Detective Collective, which is inspired by spy and detective shows from the ’60s and ’70s. The album has an all-instrumental spy-noir feel, with driving acoustic-electric melodies over propulsive electro beats.
Folk Radio UK debuts the latest video from Emily Moment for “Santa Maria,” calling it a “powerful, empathetic and moving song – the kind of song you can imagine Joan Baez singing.”
Emily breaks through the media noise to the reality of the situation with a very personal story of a mother, worn out and broken, praying to her god for salvation and mercy. There’s a lovely warmth to the sound of this recording, no doubt helped by her choice of studio: Urchin Studios — the London-area studio where Laura Marling tracked Short Movie several years earlier.
She makes it a human story…with her emotive voice at the forefront, it’s a powerful, empathetic and moving song – the kind of song you can imagine Joan Baez singing, let’s hope this one reaches as many ears, it deserves to.
Folk Radio UK shares gorgeous new time-lapse music video from Los Angeles Americana / indie-folk artist James Houlahan
The last time Folk Radio UK featured L.A. singer-songwriter James Houlahan was in 2018, for a single from his fourth album The Wheel Still in Spin. A lot has happened in those intervening years which have strongly shaped his new album, Ordinary Eye.
Experiencing a deeply divided America, Houlahan felt compelled to document this unprecedented era in the history of the country and the planet. “It’s such a crazy time,” Houlahan says. “The world is on fire. I wanted to write music that bore witness to what was happening—not only in the world around me but in my head, too. It’s an album about looking around, seeing what’s happening, witnessing the present.”
Watch his new video for the Neil Young-inspired “As It Is” with stacked harmonies, brushed percussion and other cinematic flourishes. It perfectly represents the album themes and aesthetic, and the video (footage from the extensive Prelinger Archives) is set to gorgeous time-lapse visuals of tiny seeds transforming into plants that ultimately flower, as Houlahan offers up a hushed plea for clarity and acceptance… “a simple dream of love for everything.”
Katie Jo’s New ‘Nashville Golden Years Stunner’ of a single, “How Soon,” debuts via Glide Magazine
Los Angeles-via-Wichita Americana artist Katie Jo is gearing up to release her debut album, Pawn Shop Queen, this spring. While she’s a relative newcomer to the scene, she makes up for it in life experience. You can hear it in her voice—sweet yet road-weary, a contemporary torchbearer for classic country stars like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. Her lyrics tell the tale of a woman who’s had her heart broken more than once but still stands strong.
Pawn Shop Queen—out April 9—tackles themes at the dark heart of country music: infidelity, religion, depression. For the album, Katie Jo worked with Chris Schlarb at Ego Studios in Long Beach. She met Schlarb through her pedal steel player, session musician George Madrid. Schlarb assembled an impressive cast to play on the record, which was tracked live in just three days.
Ditty TV hosts world premiere of new video from Americana artist & cancer-survivor Laura Rabell
Growing up in Florida, Laura Rabell’s childhood was filled with music. She sang in the Pensacola Children’s Chorus, took piano lessons, and performed in musical-theater productions. But she never gave herself permission to pursue music as a career. Putting her passion for music on the back burner, Rabell ended up working a corporate gig in Charlotte, N.C., after college. But after a few years of careful planning to make it all possible, Rabell and husband EJ packed up and moved to Nashville. Once there, she finished writing the songs that became her first album.
Rabell had proudly announced her debut record to fans, friends, and family via email blast in early 2019. The big reveal? The album would be called … Immortal. Three weeks later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She laughs darkly at the recollection: “I guess you shouldn’t call the Titanic unsinkable,” she says. “I guess you shouldn’t call your first album Immortal. You’re just asking for it.”
But Rabell battled through cancer treatment and the album was released in 2020. And now comes the world premiere video for “The Mirror.” Smoky, twisty and self-deprecating, “The Mirror” perfectly distills Rabell’s aesthetic. And the song’s new video is a fitting complement, comprised of footage from the last two years—just after she started chemo; later, after losing her hair; and more recently with her new short hair growing back. The video—in which Rabell and her bandmates smash a half-dozen mirrors—deals with body image and also how music gave her hope to persevere through this dark time in her life.
