Bahamas – Sad Hunk CD (Republic)

The fifth album from Bahamas, Sad Hunk takes its title from a nickname bestowed upon the artist by his wife in reaction to how he was being portrayed in the media, “Something like ten years ago I did a photo shoot, and in all the pictures they sent back I was lit half in shadow, looking all brooding and mysterious,” says the award-winning singer/songwriter otherwise known as Afie Jurvanen. “When my wife saw the photos the first thing she said was, ‘Whoa—sad hunk,’ and after that it became sort of a joke among our friends.” It’s a fitting backstory for an album that embodies an undaunted self-awareness, each track graced with Bahamas’s wry wit and unabashed heart. In sketching Sad Hunk’s delicately composed batch of songs, Jurvanen drew much inspiration from his home life and all the joy and struggle that comes with building a family together.

Ace Of Cups – Sing Your Dreams CD (High Moon)

“Born from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s, Ace Of Cups is a pioneering rock group of all-female talent. Mixing stories of female empowerment with the angst of everyday life, Ace Of Cups place a new meaning on rock and roll her-story with their newest LP, Sing Your Dreams. Featuring collaborations with Jackson Browne, Bakithi Kumalo (bassist on Paul Simon’s Graceland), Steve Kimock, David Freiberg (Jefferson Starship) and Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna), this album packs a lot of music with one swift punch. ‘Dressed In Black’ marks the first track as a blues-rock interlude with sass. Lead guitarist, Mary Ellen Simpson, lays down the blues melodies of a previous era to push the song into this century. Similar in style is ‘Boy, What’ll You Do Then’, which combines the blues harmonica, courtesy of Denise Kaufman, with an upbeat rhythm circa the 1970s.” – Mxdwn [Vinyl edition due November 13.]

Omar Rodriguez-López – The Cloud Hill Tapes Pts. I, II & III 3xLP (Clouds Hill)

During the 2000s Rodríguez-López released an astonishing variety of solo works. On these recordings the artist used pieces that had accumulated over the years. However, what has so far been missing is a release that brings together the pieces from that era. This wait now has come to an end. These recordings of three sessions dating from the years 2018 and 2019 and taken at the Clouds Hill Studio are now being gathered together as a triple-vinyl LP box set. Part I features eight pieces, and Parts II and III six pieces each, which have been entirely newly arranged, produced by Johann Scheerer, and performed by Omar Rodríguez-López and a range of guest musicians.
