Strange Burden – the debut LP from Austin, Tx’s Font – is out now. The album just got a glowing review from Pitchfork (“meticulous and crackling—a concise, gripping record that sparks and sizzles like a kinked spike of lightning”) and a Paste “Pick” review, and the group was recently a Band To Watch on Stereogum. The album was self-produced, with Dan Duszynski (Loma), Ernesto Grey, the band, and myself handling mixes on various songs (I mixed the track “It”); Carl Saff mastered the LP. It’s a wild record – definitely recommended! Strange Burden is out now on Acrophase Records.

Dougie Poole – NYC’s outsider country troubadour – has a brand new single called “Los Angeles”.  This is my favorite song from the upcoming record The Freelancer’s Blues – beautiful melodies, an elegant arrangement full of Dougie Poole-isms, and lyrics to which any New Yorker can relate.  I produced and recorded The Freelancer’s Blues with Dougie at Studio Windows, where I also mixed it; Carl Saff mastered the record in Chicago.  You can read more about the song on Ears To Feed, Recommended Listen, and Brooklyn Vegan; stream it below, watch the video, and pre-order on Bandcamp.  The Freelancer’s Blues comes out June 12 on Wharf Cat Records.
