Sometimes you just need to take a mental health break! It’s all good…we have a refrigerator on the way. Also, I’m starting a new thing! I’m going to feature an album each episode!
Album of the Week: Samantha Crain –– A Small Death
Americana is becoming more expansive as the people who started the millennium off playing punk with a twang move on to more challenging terrain. Crain’s A Small Death is a wide-ranging album that dabbles in jazz and electronic music. Fellow Tulsa singer-songwriter John Calvin Abney is along for the ride and adds some more cosmic layering to Crain’s gorgeous songwriting. It’s an astonishing synthesis of Crain’s explorations into pop and her folk roots and easily one of my favorite album this year.
