Riley Pearce – Outside The Lines

"Riley Pearce – Outside The Lines"

From a childhood spread between Europe and Australia, Riley Pearce’s desire to explore and discover is often reflected in his songwriting. ‘Outside The Lines’ is the 23 year old’s second EP release, inspired from a recent six month trip to Montana and a look at the world through those traveller’s eyes. Recommended for fans of James Bay and Ben Howard, Pearce combines a nice mix of percussive guitar, horns, and delicate harmonies to achieve both a chilled and upbeat vibe in his songs.

Fiona Joy — Signature – Synchronicity

"Fiona Joy — Signature – Synchronicity"

Signature – Synchronicity is the perfect bookend to Fiona Joy’s 2015 project Signature-Solo, which spent several months in the coveted #1 spot on the ZMR Airplay Charts and released in numerous formats via Blue Coast Records, a pioneering audiophile label.

World-class musical luminaries give Signature – Sychronicity a powerful grounding to explore and experiment with how to present the same music in two completely unique ways. The album presents more fully-realised versions of all ten pieces, recorded and produced with the team at Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont and many of Fiona’s favorite instrumentalists; some recording was also done at Crash Symphony Productions in Sydney.

“One of the brightest lights in the contemporary instrumental genre,

Fiona Joy Hawkins is poised to move into stardom and we have only to watch to see it happen”

– Will Ackerman (Founder Windham Hill Records)

The Violent Femmes – We Can Do Anything

"The Violent Femmes – We Can Do Anything"

Violent Femmes’ ninth studio album and first full-length collection in more than 15 years, We Can Do Anything is among the most provocative and playful in the legendary band’s remarkable canon featuring a wealth of recently penned tunes.  As the title makes plain, founding Femmes Gano and Brian Ritchie (acoustic bass guitar, vocals) remain intrepid as ever before, traversing infinite genre and emotion via their immediately identifiable mash of rambunctious folk, minimalist punk, cubist blues, cosmic jazz, and back porch rock ‘n’ roll.

“What the Femmes are,” says Ritchie, “and I think we always have been, is a repository for American roots music. Most people think of us as a kind of rock band but we’re a lot more than that and I think this album represents all that in a really natural, cohesive way. It just flows smoothly between all these ideas.”
