Article – Tucking into “So Sorry” by John Louis
By Rebecca Marx
John Louis is releasing his CD Drift at the Aster Cafe on 9/26, and I was privileged to possess an advanced copy to dig into. The CD’s title is well chosen, the work is elegantly paced, slow music if you will, and the piece as a whole is beautifully written. After several listens, I found myself struck by its direct lyrics, and especially obsessed by the track: “So Sorry”. I come by my adoration of music in relation to the lyrics first, a lifelong fan of poetry and prose. [Read more…] about Article – Tucking into “So Sorry” by John Louis

Review – Reina del Cid – The Cooling
by Derek Lynch
It starts out innocently enough: Reina is crooning throughout “Sweet Annie,” the opening track of The Cooling while restrained and pregnant, her band pulses underneath. The song abates just enough to make me think it’s wrapping up, but as Reina sings in a near-whisper “I’ll grab my gun and start a war” she kicks off into a chunky coda complete with face-melting guitar and “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” grit. It’s early in the album, but it’s already clear: Reina and friends are older, wiser, and maybe just a little colder. [Read more…] about Review – Reina del Cid – The Cooling
