Carey have been playing music together for close to twenty years since their time studying music at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. While they both received training in jazz and classical music, their careers would soon head in very different directions. Carey would become the right-hand man to Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver); collaborate as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer with the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Low, and Bruce Hornsby among others; and release four albums of his own to critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, and more. Raymond, on the other hand, would become a Grammy-nominated trumpeter and composer “steering jazz in the right direction” (Downbeat); release eight albums garnering praise from the New York Times, Stereogum, and others; and teach on faculty at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, one of the most prestigious music conservatories in the world. In 2019, the two reunited and began experimenting on what their artistic voices would sound like together. Raymond brought in a host of musical ideas, while Carey contributed lyrics and helped shape the ideas into songs. Producer Sun Chung (formerly with ECM Records) came on board shortly after, and together they enlisted a cast of A-list musicians to help flesh out the music including pianist Aaron Parks (Terri Lyne Carrington, Terence Blanchard), bassist Chris Morrissey (Norah Jones, Mark Guiliana), and guitarist Dave Devine (Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band). The result is their new album, Shadowlands (Libellule Editions), a stunning, genre-bending collection of songs that combines the warmth and beauty of Carey’s aesthetic with the improvisational, spontaneous nature of Raymond’s. The music ranges from intimate and meditative to soaring and anthemic, with electric moments of musical interplay throughout. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels as if it were years in the making.

Roy "Gramps" Morgan is a three-time Grammy Award-winning artist and 14-time Grammy nominee known as the King of Country Reggae. He first rose to prominence as a member of the legendary reggae family band Morgan Heritage, whose 2015 album Strictly Roots topped the reggae charts and won the Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2016. The group earned further nominations for Avrakedabra (2017) and for the work on Sting and Shaggy's 44/876. Blending reggae with country and soul crooning, Gramps Morgan appeals to fans of Ken Boothe, Toots Hibbert, Jimmy Buffett, and Kenny Chesney. His music is a sonic bridge between cultures-a soundtrack for the "Islander" in all of us. With heart, hustle, and harmony, Gramps is not just a voice of a genre- he is a movement.

The album debuts an adventurous new quartet featuring guitarists Mary Halvorson and Liberty Ellman and bassist Nick Dunston. Smith finds endless possibilities in this seemingly limited instrumentation, weaving together varied threads from his divergent earlier projects in ways that sound not quite like any of them. “This definitely ain’t your father’s guitar band,” writes no less an expert on six-string subversion than Marc Ribot, who penned the album’s liner notes. “It’s as if I’m hearing a Jim Hall concert in which one of us did a lot of mushrooms, or… some post-punk post-Dave Brubeck post-trip-hop experiment with classical form.”

It’s where Oh Smokey, the tenth Clem Snide album, spends a lot of its time. Eef Barzelay, the songwriter behind the name since time immemorial, describes Oh Smokey as “slow, sad songs about God and death,” knowing full well that he’s being technically accurate but wryly incomplete. Like a sleepy late-night road trip conversation about a near-death experience, the record makes space for some intimate contemplation of what lies beyond. Barzelay wrote these eight songs while upending much of his life. His 25-year marriage dissolved, he parted ways with his longtime manager, and he left his Nashville home after two decades. If you look at it one way, he’s been almost cosmically unlucky in the business, with a big break always around the corner that doesn’t exactly materialize. Seen from another angle, he’s built a dedicated fanbase person by person by creating an improbably timeless body of work, playing living rooms, and even writing personal songs for individual fans. This collection of songs was brought to life with longtime Clem Snide fan Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, Craig Finn, Hiss Golden Messenger). Kaufman added color and texture to Barzelay’s compositions, from the gentle sonic shrapnel of album opener “Free” to the organic hum that “At Your Command” rests on to the swelling expansiveness of title track “Smokey,” which was inspired by Eef’s fleeting collaboration with another Clem Snide fan: pop star YEBBA. With 30 years now of rising and falling Clem Snide emerges from the ashes, once again, with Oh Smokey. Still committed to loving the unknown, but with a more empathetic and mature appreciation for the bruises that come along with it.

And no, going to a Gwar show with a white t-shirt on doesn't count. When Bit Brigade takes the stage your mind will frantically oscillate between "Oh! Agh!! Please don't die!!" and "YES! He's doing it!!" Combining the dread and daring of a live video game speed run with the spot-on technique of a live band covering the musical accompaniment to everything you're seeing on-screen in real time, Bit Brigade will have you swinging between the two mediums. From thrashing about to live renditions of your favorite stage themes, fingers yearning to the sky in a rock 'n roll parody of sea anemones seeming to silently plead, "Please, feed us more fretboard pyrotechnics!," to being locked in stock-still rapture as the infallible maestro of the d-pad, Noah McCarthy, takes on the final boss and risks his video game life under the threat of intense peer scorn (or the reward of night-long glory and a credits score). No matter the outcome, Bit Brigade must play on until the deed is done - which it always is - on the first (and last) try. Once Noah’s NES buzzes on, there's no turning back." - Metalhead Mike of The Shizz, summer 2011

Even the years since he cracked the door open in 2020 with “Chandelier” - a woozy, glitch-pop oddity that caught fire online that has since gone gold - have only sporadically been punctuated by the release of a handful of standalone singles and a couple of EPs. “Sometimes I keep things a secret just to make them feel like they’re only mine,” he says. But Hahaha — his debut full-length album, out this September and still staunchly self-released — is the sound of Paquin breaking out of the bedroom. It’s loud, raw, chaotic, and full of life. And there’s no better demonstration of this than the title track. “Hahaha” is a high-voltage jolt of pure release expressly built to ignite a crowd from the very first clang of the guitar. “I wanted a song I could shout and that could be screamed right back at me,” Paquin says. The shift from solitude to communion runs throughout the record. Much of it was written while Paquin was on the road navigating a breakup, mingling that inherent sadness with the feeling of being on stage night after night embraced by the crowd “I was on tour, surrounded by live, loud music, and so there’s also this energy there. It's almost like a sarcastic ‘hahaha,’ with tears in my eyes”. The album plays with that multifaceted tumult. Take opener “We Really Done It This Time,” a straight-ahead rocker that sounds like the beginning of a panic attack. “I felt a little lost, not sure what to, or who to blame,” he says of the breakup that fuels the track. Whereas “Orangutan” keeps it playful. “I had this funny dream about an orangutan and decided to compare this relationship with this ape swinging by me in the street, going far away — and just wishing it well.” Things get tense and spare with “Roll the Dice,” which is about “counting up my mistakes and seeing where I went wrong,” before we clatter into “I Work So Hard,” a song Paquin originally started in middle school, bearing the mark of the psych rock bands he loved in those formative years, but recontextualized to his current life. “It's almost like when you get out of a relationship and you're on that grind set, and you're trying to make all these changes to be the best version of yourself.” “Our World Is Falling Apart,” another song with origins dating back a decade. “I had the format for the rest of the song, but I didn't have the maturity or skillset to flesh things out back then,” he says. Now, it’s a fitting closer — proof that even the oldest ideas can evolve when you’re finally ready to let them out. Much of the album feels this way, like a time capsule — a collection of ideas and sounds that Paquin has been quietly nurturing for years. As he began shaping the record, he found himself drawn back to the music that first sparked his imagination — the layered, melodic pull of The Beatles, the gritty urgency of The Oh Sees and Ty Segall. In the studio, these early influences blended with the more experimental textures he immersed himself in during the recording process, listening to The Magic by Deerhoof, Can’s boundary-pushing catalog, andTransmissions From the Satellite Heart by The Flaming Lips on repeat. The result is a record that doesn't just reference his past but reanimates it, layering old obsessions with new discoveries in a sound that's entirely his own. Now, for the first time, these diverse reference points come together in a cohesive whole, shaped by the passage of time and Paquin’s current perspective. “This album is kind of like re- centering what I actually like and what I want to put out to the world,” he explains. Remaining independent and free from label constraints, he took full creative control. He produced the album alongside childhood friend and longtime collaborator William Levin. The finishing touches came from Nathan Boddy (James Blake, Geordie Greep, Nilufer Yanya) who handled the mix, while Mike Bozzi (Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Tyler, the Creator) mastered the final product. Hahaha is a celebration of shared energy, of chaos, of the kind of laughter that erupts when you're fully alive in the moment. It’s a guitar-forward, psych-laced, garage-rock catharsis to be played out to the masses. Those closed bedroom doors have swung open.

Johnson’s catalog. Little in the arc of his career—including Fruit Bats’ evolution from home recording project to rollicking roadshow, his solo output, and his work with Bonny Light Horseman—points the way to this album, in which his only accompaniment, aside from the occasional blush of synthesizer, is a guitar, banjo, or piano. Save for producer Thom Monahan, reuniting with Johnson for the first time since Fruit Bats’ 2019 breakthrough Gold Past Life, it’s just Johnson in the room, meaning that when the turntable’s needle meets Baby Man’s groove, it’s just him and the listener, mutually in for a reckoning. Working with Monahan in the past pushed Johnson to new sonic vistas, evidenced by a songbook of sprawling, ornately detailed crowd-pleasers. When Johnson produced Fruit Bats’ 2023 album A River Running to Your Heart, Monahan served as a sounding board, and their reunion started in a similar vein, with Johnson asking to borrow a microphone or two for a project that was just starting to take shape. One conversation led to another, and Baby Man came into being: an ambitious take on the sketchbook album where everything—lyrics and music—had to be newly written and recorded from scratch, everything he’d been cooking to that point left at the door. Every morning began with an empty page, every night concluded with a new song, sometimes two or three new songs, each of them terrifyingly beautiful. Monahan’s return to the booth was vital: having mapped the outer limits of Eric D. Johnson’s musical imagination, nobody was better equipped for the deepest trip yet into his soul. Baby Man is an intimate album, but rather than deliver a stripped-down or back-to-basics approach to the Fruit Bats sound, its introspection is rendered at epic scale. “It’s minimalist-maximalism,” Johnson says of his and Monahan’s approach. “There are fewer tracks on each song—four or five at most compared to recent albums where there’d maybe be five tracks on a song just for synths—but this is me at my most hi-fi.” What he and Monahan do to striking effect on Baby Man is explore the full power and range of his voice. Pushed forward in the mix, Johnson’s vocals—a showstopping element of his craft—have new purpose and depth on Baby Man, breathing life into some of the rawest songs he’s ever written into being, actively finding the heart in the lyrics sometimes just hours after they’d been penned. A text sent to Monahan one morning—“I’m just trying to write a couple more songs”—later becomes the first line of “Puddle Jumper,” a finger-picked heartbreaker whose only competition for the crown of Most Emotionally Devastating Fruit Bats Song is the other eight Johnson originals on this album. “Stuck in My Head Again” finds Johnson pouring himself out over his guitar, his voice alternately contemplative and softly raging, straining to keep the reverie he conjures from his delicate playing from crumbling beneath the weight. It and opener “Let You People Down” are what Johnson refers to as the album’s “mission statements,” songs about love and loss and disappointment, “about how a life can get lived and wisdom can be gained, but how there’s always going to be more to learn.” It’s all there in the lyrics, but what’s striking is how Johnson processes them, how, in a room where the only heart laid bare is his own, he is at once self-effacing and tender. “It’s about a lot of things and it’s about rebirth,” Johnson says of title track “Baby Man,” which is slippery and true to the song and album, its dark night spent contemplating his place in life bleeding into other nights where he found himself thinking about the Los Angeles wildfires, his neighbor’s new dog, his own dog (about which he wrote the staggering “Creature from the Wild”), his songs, and songs he’s always loved. Again and again, Baby Man sees Johnson ask a central question: Is any of this worth it? The album itself is the answer, a resounding “yes” against the pain and struggle Johnson surfaced from to record it. At times it feels as if there is no horizon on Baby Man, barely a room beyond the space Eric D. Johnson occupies. Then the intensity of this gaze is broken—by a creaking chair, by a pattern thumped against a guitar, by the gentle twinkle of a synth, by a particularly gorgeous couplet—and suddenly one is grateful just to be in that space with him. There are no Fruit Bats albums like Baby Man. None until this point have demanded this kind of attention. It’s a linchpin in Johnson’s career, one that not only opens Fruit Bats up to a thrilling future but recontextualizes his past, arguing that he is one of his generation’s great singer- songwriters and will be for some time to come.
