"Mama Proud is the triumphant new album from California singer/songwriter Annette Adler. Capturing the devotion and love of parenting, Adler’s charming Americana-infused tracks are spry and lively. Discovering these songs is like flipping through a memory book or family album."

Founder, bandleader, bassist, and songwriter Robert Miller is one of the best on his instrument and his broad command of playing styles has allowed him the latitude to enjoy the respect of his peers and a reputation as one of the best live musicians out there today."

#NEWPOST - "Vuola’s “Alouv”"

"It’s been a big year for progressive content, and if you take a look at a record like Vuola’s Alouv, you’re going to understand why. Alouv isn’t a traditional prog effort; it’s not joined by theatrics or even the typical camp that has long been associated with the genre, but instead a compositional style that tethers one song to the next all too seamlessly to press the skip button. From “Under Above Orion Venus Loves” to simpler works like “Laugh Vivid Often Adore Unity,” these are not tracks composed by someone who lacks depth as a musician or performer by any means. The detail within the arrangements of ‘Vapaa Uljas Onnen Lapsi Aamun” and “Astra Lucia Omnia Ultra Verum” isn’t lost in this master mix, but instead given some room to be celebrated and defined in the grander scheme of things."

"Craig Archibald’s new book The Actor’s Mindset has this rare, distinctive maturity to it. There’s never a sense he’s ever resorting to spin, or for that matter trying to lord his own, considerable accomplishments over the reader. Such can usually be the case for a decorated professional “giving back” to a hypothetical new generation of artists, but Archibald succeeds in genuinely doing so."

"In the Company of a Friend, Tyler Mast’s new album, opens with the track “Ayla”. I didn’t know what to expect when I hit play on this album, having never heard Mast before, but I immediately felt the familiar frisson I experience when encountering something sincere. The confluence of piano, drums, and other instruments fueling the track is a perfect complement to Mast’s hard-luck and even despairing lyrics."

#NEWPOST - "Bonnie Milne Releases New Music"

"Instrumental recordings can speak volumes without a player uttering a single phrase, and in the case of the new singles “Uncertain” and “New Beginnings” from composer/player Bonnie Milne, the melodies she presents are simply too grand to share the spotlight with any verses. With nothing more than her piano keys, Milne depicts elegance, reflection, and an acerbic attention to detail that has been missing from most of the pop music I’ve been listening to in 2022, all while rejecting the very notion of indulgence in her composing style. In these two songs, there just isn’t room for anything more than the tonal expressiveness of the instrument on its own.

To me, the piano’s emittances in “New Beginnings” feel like lyrics emerging from the silence to guide us toward a narrative too larger than life to be conveyed through linguistics alone."

"Anyone who thinks conceptual pop music has to be overindulgent to make a real statement to the audience likely doesn’t know any better, because those who listen to the new record Love Is Where You Are from Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band this spring is going to know that the opposite is quite true. Blending melodic whims with a fervent sense of equality between lyrics and music, Love Is Where You Are features a rather complicated foundation, but what it lacks in simplicity on the compositional end it more than compensates us for in straight-up pop appeal.

FACEBOOK: https://buff.ly/3v2Koli (https://buff.ly/3v2Koli)

The progressive influence over tracks like the title cut, “Devi,” and “I Am Love” is difficult for me to ignore, but the fact that it isn’t drawing a lot of unwanted camp into the aesthetical soul of this record is something to applaud. Shakti is using a lot of thoughtful combinations of poetic license and harmony-based expressiveness in this EP, but she doesn’t seem to avoid making the beat a feature when it counts (“Radha Grace”), which is not something I have been able to say for the majority of her peers fronting their own bands right now.

Psychedelic-tinged in spots but more focused and pop-structured than anything you’re going to get out of the American underground’s harder-edged indie players at the moment, what Ananda Xenia Shakti and Love Power the Band’s Love Is Where You Are offers the listener is a chance to experience new age duality in a relatively cut and dry setting, which isn’t exactly a coupling that you can come across very often in this medium, or any other for that matter."

He marries a zest for overturning listeners’ expectations with an obvious command of fundamentals that results in fresh and personable material."

#NEWPOST - "“Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Patricia Lazzara, Allison Brewster Franzetti, and Steve Markoff"

"“Don’t Dream It’s Over” will definitely whip up an assortment of memories for many listeners. Crowded House’s smash 80’s radio hit and MTV staple remain a nostalgic mainstay over thirty years later. I believe it is, however, safe to say no one, especially the song’s author Neil Finn, ever pictured the pop classic rebuilt as a meditative flute and piano-propelled piece."

#NEWPOST - "“Restorative Practices of Wellbeing” by Natureza Gabriel Kram"
---
"Restorative Practices of Wellbeing: A Compendium of Restorative Practices is Natureza Gabriel Kram’s meditation on how, through a mixture of indigenous and spiritualistic practices molded into a homeopathic milieu, growing cases of severe trauma experienced by the population can be accurately and acutely addressed. “…the vast majority of Americans are lonely,” Kram writes. “Fifty-four percent say no one knows them well. Forty-six percent say they always feel alone. Loneliness is a consistent underlying pathology across all categories of mental illness…Lonely people are mentally unwell because, physiologically-speaking, it is very hard to turn on your Connection System—the biological foundation of well-being—in the absence of other people and Nature."
