YTI⅃AƎЯ is what you make it! And thus far, we've made it in CD and cassette forms, while offering it as a D/L, stream and what have ye online. With the 2xLP vinyl version set for release at the end of February, Bill Callahan's taking the show on the once road again, for three weeks of shows around the American East, Southeast and Midwest in late February and early March.

Pitting dreams of songs against performances of those songs in live reality, Bill... (read more)

A new year means a fresh new start and a refreshingly new chance to catch Bonnie 'Prince' Billy live in action! This May, the "Prince" tackles cities major and places minor dotted across the pacific northwest and Canada. Rolling into summer, as the days get hotter in July, the state of Colorado gets a full-on Bonny tour of its own. Whether you're a local resident or a known traveler on the BPB train, performances amidst the Rocky Mountains sure sounds highly engaging, doesn't it? You're welcome for the early warning!

It’s 2023, and even the turn of this new century seems a long time ago now — but oddly, Purling Hiss’s guitar-band ethos feels ever more timeless, even as time accelerates and passes us and them (and decades of the mighty rock and roll) in the outside lane. Drag On Girard, the first full length Purling Hiss album in six years, cruises through diverse states of mind and places in time — dreams from the past and the future, careening lawlessly as they slide around...

Meg Baird’sforthcoming album unfurls with a perennial bloom, grappling with stark existential unknowns and the mysteries that hide in nature and humanity at their most ordinary. Furling (out 1/27) resonates with its gradually unfolding themes and variations of sounds, building out a world all its own.

Driving a near-funereal piano dirge with her steady, elemental drums, Meg visits a stylistic and emotional extreme: simultaneously elegiac and uplifting wordless vocals with fragments of vibraphone, impressionistic guitar phrases, and analog synth that... (read more)

The Future is (almost) here! A recently unearthed collection of cult sensation J.T. IV’s music turned up nineteen (!) unheard tracks, providing the majority of his forthcoming double album, The Future.

J.T. IV’s outsider rock was equal parts light and darkness, a lightning bolt schizo-splitting a raw power punk rocker and an earnest, hope-filled acoustic rocker from the same troubled body. Unable to function in the straight world, John got fucked up and jammed his tunes with friends, taping the music and... (read more)

Last minute gift time? What other time is there? So here’s a quick list of suggestions n blah blah blah!

PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE

That’s a good theme for the year, right – any year, every year? But one that feels more than ever like the KEY. And it was those lads from No Age that brought it to our attention by titling their new one exactly that. “People helping people” isn’t as simple a concept as we all expect it... (read more)

Come spring 2023, it'll be show-n-toil time for Meg Baird! Since co-founding Philadelphia's luminary psychedelic folk collective Espers, Meg Baird has been steadily creating a body of solo and collaborative work within folk, acoustic, electrified and underground music traditions. She has recorded with harpist Mary Lattimore, co-founded Heron Oblivion as drummer and vocalist, and created four solo albums featuring her beguiling guitar and song-writing. On her upcoming tour, Meg explores her solo work through the lens of her formidable past as a... (read more)

Meg Baird’s forthcoming long player, Furling, lives in the notion that whole universes of experience, enlightenment, elation, and ecstasy can bloom in every corner. And while it’s true that some songs on Furling grapple with humanity’s existential unknowns in stark terms, they primarily revel in the mysteries that hide in nature and humanity at their most ordinary.

The second single from Furling, “Star Hill Song,” out today, is a swooning mediation on romantic solidarity in emotionally trying times, by Meg and collaborator/partner/co-writer of... (read more)

Inspired by the underground, proto-punk sounds wafting in the late 1970s air and desperate to be heard, John Timmis created a character for himself: J.T. I.V. Born only to rock, this musical conception was a rabid personality crisis consisting of proselyte elitism and nihilistic excess. To a 70s wild-child like J.T., Brian Eno’s music cut through the noise like a switch-blade. So for this second taste of The Future, it's apt to share J.T.'s take on Eno's “The Fat Lady of...
