Probably my greatest discovery of the last five years. Alternative folk informed by minimalism, Coltrane, ragas and drones and songs that grabbed me immediately.

Meg Baird, former Espers singer and drummer, is joined by some fine SF Bay Area musicians, Ethan Miller on bass, and Noel Von Harmonson and Charlie Saufley, both on guitars. The release is haunted by the ghost of SF psych, and bewitchingly so, with Meg’s ethereal vocals spinning out and over the thickly reverb-y and controlled feedback of the two guitarists. This may sound like it won’t make sense together, but it does.

Lovely and delicate songs from Michigan band cloudlight, full of angelic vocals and barely-there instrumentation.

Awash in homespun sonics and simple, effective melodies, the debut record by Melbourne's Grand Pine is a folk pop lover's delight.
