PopMatters premieres Fred Wickham’s new single, “Rock Bottom”

Reminiscent of the rambling of folk and country legends like Dylan and Cash, Fred Wickham‘s “Rock Bottom” is a modern bard’s sardonic tale of twists and turns for the worst. It’s all stapled together by the final utterance of its chorus: “You might think you’ve hit rock bottom, but you’ve got a long way to go.”

Despite its cynic’s worldview, the makeup of the song itself feels decidedly upbeat. Wickham’s world-worn perception of the scene his lyrics are painting is adequately met by maundering, folksy vocals. Otherwise, the instrumentation is jaunty, featuring both brass and organ-produced synth that brings more of a playful, sarcastic overtone to the ongoing events laid out in the song.

Wickham’s Mariosa Delta releases on September 29th. READ MORE…

No Depression premieres Tom Irwin’s new single, “I Have Wandered”

Called “a modern day troubadour” by John Stirratt (Wilco), singer-songwriter-musician Tom Irwin has spent a lifetime making music in the Midwest using his long standing (sixth generation) Illinois roots as his base for a world view of a life in the musical arts. On September 8th, Irwin will release his latest record, All That Love, which was produced by Stirratt (who also played on the album), and features esteemed players including Greg Wieczorek on drums, John Pirruccello on 12-string guitar and pedal steel, Scott Ligon (piano, organ, accordion, bass and guitar), Theresa O’Hare (flute), Paul Von Mertens (sax) and Irwin’s hometown band, the Hayburners. The eleven song collection includes tunes recently penned, a few that were written over thirty years ago, and what ever else John and Tom agreed to from the hundreds of original compositions in the prolific songwriter’s back catalog. Today, Irwin shares the second track from the album, “I Have Wandered.” Led by sparkling keys and a swinging rhythm, the buoyant “I Have Wandered” is an introspective tale of personal struggle – “Let me roll and rumble and curse with all my might/And fake and fumble until I get it right/I will stand and stumble and crawl towards sunlight/And take and tumble as long as I can fight” – that’s perfect for the dance floor.

Irwin had this to say about the track, “The second track on All That Love was originally titled, “Let Me,” and once called “‘Til I Get It Right” by my oldest son when he was about eight. Producer-musician John Stirratt of Wilco, kept referring to it as “I Have Wandered,” from the first line of the song, because he didn’t know what else to call it, and the new name stuck. The lyrics kind of came out of nowhere with no real story behind the meaning, though I get flashes of where they came from and what they related to in my life during different moments when I sing the song. Most of the time I have a tale to tell, but this one is a bit more mysterious as to what’s happening or what peculiar struggle the narrator is working through. Perhaps the words describe a fight against convention or a push back to those hoping that this guy will act a certain way that wasn’t particularly what he had in mind. Whatever the meaning, I have sang this song hundreds of times and never get tired of finding out what it means and where it leans.

         Musically based around a G-Am-C, the chord progression that drives Dylan’s “You Ain’t Going Nowhere,” those were about the only chords I could play when this one came out. John added a cool chord substitution of a B minor on the refrain, plus a little turnaround in the verse. All I could say was, “That’s neat. Wish I had thought of that,” but that’s Mr. Stirratt’s wonderfully musical brain in action. Then we all thought a whole step modulation would be a grand gesture to finish out the song with a jam and fade on the refrain.

         Scott Ligon of NRBQ played the signature piano part on a 1898 Steinway upright, a house instrument at Wall to Wall Recording in Chicago. First, he asked John if he should play guitar, his main axe, and John suggested the Steinway to great success and shades of Floyd Cramer. Later Scott returned to the studio to overdub the electric guitar solo. John Pirroccello, who worked the pedal steel guitar, owns and operates the Lakland and Hanson guitar company our of Chicago and plays with John in The Autumn Defense. Greg Wieczorek of Norah Jones’ band, and also in The Autumn Defense, does the distinctive swinging drum rhythm, while Brad Floreth of Jacksonville, Illinois added some electric guitar rhythm on his Creston built Tele. I sang the lead vocals and played my Gallagher acoustic, while John added intermittent harmonies later.

Always a crowd and fan favorite, no matter what you call it, this song takes me there to where I’ve wandered time after time. READ MORE

The Boston Globe interviews Hayley Thompson-King

Hayley Thompson-King

Like many musicians, Hayley Thompson-King is also a collector by nature. Not the grab-anything-not-nailed-down kind of collector, mind you, but the methodical, curatorial type, focused on gathering selectively, in one place, one day at a time, the things she truly loves.

A peek around the 35-year-old singer-songwriter’s Somerville apartment — where she lives as an artist-in-residence through a grant from the city’s arts council and teaches voice lessons in her spare time — reveals countless keepsakes. A horse saddle and belt buckles bring her back to a childhood in Sebastian, Fla., filled with county fairs, riding lessons, and rusted trucks. Dozens of records, strewn in stacks, expose the same obsession with opera that propelled Thompson-King through her undergraduate studies at NYU and a master’s program at the New England Conservatory of Music, both focused on the Romantic art form. At least one of the guitars within view is a relic from her old days in the garage-country group Banditas.

Along one wall, above time-worn tambourines and tape machines, hangs a row of paintings bookended by the Pink Panther (“Actually, that’s the first thing I ever bought when I moved to New York”) and a silhouetted musician lost amid the throes of a since-forgotten symphony (“That picture’s from my mom’s mother, and it looks exactly like my mother”). A clothes rack looms over a scruffy brown couch, crowded by more winter coats than any New Englander would ever need.

Thompson-King’s attraction to artifacts, of all shapes and sizes, may be rooted in her belief that appreciating the past can help you fathom the future. That’s borne out by her musical stylings, a cross between fuzzed-out rock ’n’ roll, classical opera, woozy psychedelia, and honky-tonk that feels at once appealingly old-school and downright experimental.

Across her debut solo LP “Psychotic Melancholia,” out Sept. 1, Thompson-King draws upon her raw yet theatrical voice, as well as influences ranging from Schumann to scripture, to translate uncommonly complex themes (dismantling false idols and revisiting the Old Testament’s treatment of women through a feminist lens are just two) into a soulful, sonic tempest that may well constitute its own genre. Ahead of that release and two Boston shows — a stripped-down set Wednesday at the MFA, and a free album release party at Loretta’s Last Call the next night — Thompson-King sat down to discuss her singular vision.

No Depression premieres Fred Wickham’s new single, “You Don’t Need Me”

Fred Wickham’s taking a new swing at the troubador’s life. Some of you may remember the midwest rock band Hadacol from the ’90s. For Mariosa Delta, Wickham’s brought some of the band back together as well as his family — including his son Fred Wickham Jr. on mandolin joing him on tour (Dave Wilson plays mandolin and fiddle in the recording). The lead-off single, “You Don’t Need Me,” is an easy-going foot-tapper with warm notes: a honeyed fiddle and shining mandolin complete the arrangement. But Wickham’s forthright delivery and sardonic lyrics betray his rocker roots, giving the song enough texture to make your ears perk up. READ MORE…

Paste Magazine premieres Ghost Pavilion’s new single, “Fooling Myself”

James Higgs’ solo project, Ghost Pavilion, takes his new wave sensibilities and puts a fresh coat of paint on synth-laden dream pop. Ghost Pavilion’s latest EP, Oblivion, engineered by Higgs himself and mastered by Nashville legend John Baldwin (Neil Young, Jesus Lizard, Sly Stone), arrives tomorrow, August 25th.
Today, Paste is excited to premiere “Fooling Myself,” a dancey, synth-laced track that incorporates effect-heavy guitars and dreamy soundscapes to elicit a visceral sense of melancholia. Navigating the listener through a realm of psychedelia, the track infuses electronic and live drums, along with punchy horns, to aid Higgs’ hazy and forlorn vocal aesthetic.

Channeling the influence of artists like Washed Out and Beach House, Higgs’ new EP Oblivion is a lush and hazy bedroom pop record that effortlessly weaves and welds dreamy textures with dancey percussion to create a unique style that bucks at genre definitions. Thematically, the record focuses primarily on mortality and nostalgia, looking fondly back at lost loved ones while holding onto the only thing that’s left—the memories.

Higgs tracked Oblivion at home and at The Seaside Lounge Recording Studios in Brooklyn where he worked as an engineer, allowing him to utilize the benefits of a studio and develop a methodical songwriting approach.

“It was an environment where experimentation flourished,” says Higgs. “Some ideas bloomed immediately, others came slowly over the years, the rest were destroyed or put off into the distance only to return later as a small dot over the horizon. Many songs were rebuilt over and over again in an effort to discover their ideal form. Progress was slow. It came in waves of creativity, along with accommodating the unexpected twists and turns of life.”

Oblivion is out tomorrow, August 25th. READ MORE

MAGNET Magazine streams new LP Recluse in Plain Sight from Johnny Dango

Johnny Dango

On September 1, Johnny Dango will release Recluse In Plain Sight. The Austin-based singer/songwriter has been a member of Brothers & Sisters and the Memphis Strange and a sideman for Stoney LaRue, but now he’s going out on his own with his solo debut. Says Dango, “A not-so-secret hope is that other musicians might potentially somehow hear it and be inspired to take more chances with their own work, to not play it so safe all the time. I don’t feel like I’m doing anything new here. These songs are all kind of throwbacks to other, more elegant eras. But, they’re sounds I wanted to hear paired with the words and melodies I had bouncing around in my head. So I made a record of it.” Dango will do an acoustic tour in support of Recluse In Plain Sight this fall, then, he says, “I’ll lay low and hopefully write some new stuff in the winter. I’ve got another record coming out in January, so I’ll be touring to support that.” In the meantime, check out Recluse In Plain Sightbelow. We are proud to premiere the album today on magnetmagazine.com. Says Dango of the LP, “I hope it’s a fun little record for anyone who bothers to give it a listen. We tried to keep it fairly short, since attention spans aren’t what they used to be. I don’t expect it to inspire anyone to go out and register to vote or volunteer to help the hungry or mentally ill, but that would be a nice development, wouldn’t it? It’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but I like it. Mick Jagger said that, and I’m repeating it over and over again. Because it’s the truth.” READ MORE…
