"Like the finest work of Richard Buckner or Phosphorescent, Blood Oaths of the New Blues recasts songs that could have come from country music or the blues or Bob Dylan in an intricate Americana gloaming. At last, Toth treats the words and the arrangements with the same ingenuity and devotion, arriving at the most accessible and narcotic record of his career." <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17489-blood-oaths-of-the-new-blues/">Read the complete review on Pitchfork!</a>Nathan Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17924612656022712472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954094630728493822.post-82575588871467058112013-01-07T15:17:00.002-08:002013-01-07T15:17:58.957-08:00Under The Radar Revisits Jawbreaker's Bivouac and Chesterfield King! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"The term "emo" has gotten a bad reputation, largely from its bastardization in the late '90s and early '00s, but looking back at these albums 20 years on, one remembers what the music really meant. Bivouac and Chesterfield King have aged well. And it's nice to see that they're being released again, so that a new generation of kids can be affected by them as some of us were 20 years ago." <a href="http://www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/bivouac_and_chesterfield_king_ep/">Read on at Under The Radar.</a>Nathan Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17924612656022712472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954094630728493822.post-3562572419316377962013-01-04T12:19:00.002-08:002013-01-04T12:19:58.326-08:00Patt Hull's New Video “Mother Mary" Shared On Fender!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"'Honey' is stark and beautiful, its rough electric chords strummed with further intensity in time with a track that gradually grows into a rabid emotional beast.

"I Want What You Want is a reminder of what a devastatingly good songwriter O’Connor is. It is the directness and storytelling that draws one into her music, or at least draws me in to it. With a song like “Change Your Life,” it feels like she’s singing directly to you when the song opens, “If you want to change your life, you’re gonna have to change your mind / about what you want.” It’s one of the songs from I Want that is easy to get immersed in the lyrics." <a href="http://www.anotherrainysaturday.com/2012/12/ars-interview-jennifer-oconnor-talks-about-releasing-her-own-music-on-her-own-label-her-upcoming-west-coast-tour-and-much-more/">Keep Reading On Another Rainy Saturday.</a>Nathan Walkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17924612656022712472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954094630728493822.post-78079784610051851352012-12-14T11:00:00.000-08:002012-12-14T11:00:26.798-08:00Raymond Byron And The White Freighter Named Fourth Best Portland Release By The Oregonian!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
