What a beautiful album this is.



Mike Coykendall – The Unbearable Being Of Likeness (Music Review)

By Michael Curti • Feb 18th, 2010 • Category: Folk/Americana, Indie Rock, Reviews And Essays

Rating: 3 out of 5
Coykendall has squeezed out 33 minutes of collected songs and miscellany into a rousing, slightly psyched-out affair. But with repeated listens, it seems to come off a little more like egoism and borrowed semblance.

It’s hard to believe that this is Tillman’s sixth release. But it is, and Tillman continues to produce creative and expressive work.

Castanets – Texas Rose, The Thaw, and The Beasts (Music Review)

By Andrew Duncan • Dec 30th, 2009 • Category: Categories, Folk/Americana, Reviews And Essays

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
With the ever changing platform of Castanets — from the music to the size of the band — Ray Raposa has never faltered to make interesting music. But Texas Rose, The Thaw, and The Beasts may be his best yet in the context of Raposa himself.
