Out of the Dark Nowhere

Invest in your dreams. Grind now. Shine later! Greetings everyone! Allow me to send you a special spring wish for a most productive day. Lets get motivated with todays write-up. What have we learned this year in regards to a greater goal? A good tip is to never stop doing your best just because someone doesn’t give you credit.

I am pleased to announce the song of the moment, recorded by Choctaw Nation singer-songwriter musician Samantha Crain, with "Pastime". An emotional charged record which dissects the rituals of finding a new love to a background of steady guitars and layered synths. Her gorgeous voice creates soothing magic...like painting bright and dark images in mind.

Hamish Hawk Album Review: Angel Numbers

(Post Electric)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Hamish Hawk’s latest album Angel Numbers wears a heavy self-consciousness. He’s admitted it’s different because the album was written and recorded in the shadow of his first “successful” record, 2021 breakout Heavy Elevator. With Idlewild’s Rod Jones returning at the producer’s helm, Hawk nonetheless found himself avoiding succumbing to pressure, writing much more quickly and loosely, uncharacteristic of the diligent self-editor in him. The result, though, expands upon Heavy Elevator; that is, Angel Numbers’ stadium anthems are as worthy of fist pumps as anything from The War on Drugs or Sam Fender, its ballads as lush as the best Jens Lekman songs. Hawk has created a world where everyday life remains grounded while the angels--songwriters, artists, pop culture icons--creep in and out of our consciousness.

Hawk purposefully reveals the album’s palate on “Once Upon an Acid Glance”, a showcase for all of the instruments used on the record and the venerable band who plays them: guitarist Andrew Pearson, keyboardist and percussionist Stefan Maurice, bassist Alex Duthie, and keyboardist John Cashman. It’s also the song that introduces the album’s angels who come and go, as Leonard Cohen and Karen Carpenter rub elbows with David Hockney and Britt Ekland. And though he can be verbose and obtuse, Hawk has a simply captivating way of delivering lines, enunciating to suggest wordplay even when there isn’t: “Feckless sex dreams” and “vipers in the night” are some of the half rhymes that make you consider whether you’re listening to a poet or someone shouting on the street.

Indeed, it’s this middle ground where Hawk thrives, and it’s no coincidence that the songs where his mind wanders and the album loses its sense of place and time are the best. The soft keyboard hues of “Bill” soundtrack Hawk’s recollection of being visited by none other than Bill Callahan in a dream, who gives him advice about a song two tracks later. That very song, “Money”, sees Hawk surviving the demands of adulthood by layering humorous observations, wondering “who buys a jacket from a gunmaker” and laying his eyes on someone with “legs in those jeans like you were born to ride a Clydesdale”. On the gorgeous, Southern rock-imbued Samantha Crain duet “Rest and Veneers”, Hawk rails against norms, or at least realizes how glad he is they change. Spending time with someone, he sings, “You know, way back in wartime, you’d be my common-law wife / But for now, it’s just the two of us / And I’ve never felt such freedom in my life.” With all the ups and downs and “circumstances so abject,” Hawk finally finds the angels right in front of him.

Fancy Dance Review- A Good Turn for Up and Comer Lily Gladstone

Ever since I heard Lily Gladstone was cast in Killers of the Flower Moon she has been on my radar. So when I heard she was in a film at Sundance 2023 I was very excited. Fancy Dance is that film and it gave me a lot of good vibes for how good she can be in Martin Scorsese’s latest film. This one was a great start for her though. A Film by Odewaye:Sta,  Jax Goodiron (Lily Gladstone) is a Native…

"joey, why don't you come around and see me? / got plenty of room now that I live alone" is quite possibly THE most desperately sad opening to a song i have heard in my LIFE

🏠 / luke to sam (surprise!)

A domestic starter.

❛ You're back early. ❜ Luke doesn't expect to see her home already as he walks through the door. He puts his keys and a couple shopping bags on the counter before walking over to her and leaning down for a kiss. Usually, Luke got home before her, as his hours working at the harm reduction center changed from time to time. When he pulls back, he follows Sam's gaze to the bags on the counter. Sheepishly, he smiles and stands upright. ❛ I was going to surprise you and cook dinner. ❜ Not much of a surprise anymore, but that was alright.

Samantha Crain : Joey (COVER VERSION) My version of Samantha Crain’s excellent song ‘Joey’ off her 2020 album ‘A Small Death’ – if you haven’t done so already, please check out her version on YouTube (the studio version) which is naturally far better than mine, especially the vocals and the arrangement. The song is well above my vocal range, but I had to give it a try anyway, I love it.
