Joseph Childress – Chariots [Exclusive]
After championing ‘Animal’ as one of my favourite tracks of last year, I’ve finally got a copy of Joseph Childress’ debut album, The Rebirths, and have barely stopped playing it all week. It’s difficult to make an album with just an acoustic guitar and still absorb the listener right the way through, but there’s such a variety of so ideas and styles in here that it stays fresh and engaging.

But he has since then recorded a new album with Mike Coykendall (engineer behind M.

First Impressions: She & Him – ‘Volume One’
admin on Mar 28th 2008
Perhaps it was the name that mislead me, but M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel’s collaborative project had me expecting an album of luvy-duvy duets. In reality, Ward’s gravely croon makes few appearances here – and that’s not the only reason his fans may find this a somewhat frustrating listen. Continue Reading »
