joe, i'm sure you saw it, but npr released the tiny desk concert she recorded.
Another new one on Constellation, this time from Eric Chenaux. Titled Slowly Paradise, it comes out March 9. Really excited about this one because Eric might be my favorite musician, and he's had a pretty prolific and strong string of releases with Constellation.
Will Johnson (Centro-Matic, Monsters of Folk, New Multitudes, etc.) has a new project out with Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster of Water Liars: Marie/Lepanto. The album is called "Tenkiller" and it's so good.
That Marie/Lepanto LP somehow flew under my radar until I was listening to Little Raider and decided to check out WJ's Twitter to see what he was up to. Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but have really liked his recent output.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard put out an album almost every weekend it seems, and most of them are pretty solid and certainly consistent. Their most recent though slows them down lots, and to my mind sees them settling in to celebrating a lazy Australian summer. I'm enjoying this one lots.
Im hopeful for PJ of course...and interested in whatever new release Melvins has planned for this year too. Oh! Mudhoney is finishing an album!! i want that...Grimes! she is finishing an album too...
Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite are releasing their second blues album called No Mercy in This Land on March 30. You can hear the title track on Ben Harper’s website.
My kid just gave me a cd of demoed for their next album. They enter the recording studio later this month and I'm going to go out on a limb and say the record makes 'year best' lists in Canada if not elsewhere. It's parts r&b, soul and hip hip, making for their own version of rhythm and flow. I can't wait for the finished album and for people to hear it.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

The last one they released last year (#5 Of The year) might be the best. Gumboot Soup.
I've listened to this way too many times already. They're so great.
