'Mulatu Plays Mulatu' is a testament to both the malleability of Astatke’s compositions as well as the rock solid foundation on which they’ve been built

Saw him at FYF Fest back in 2015 and it was electrifying. Just an amazing artist and performer. One of a kind.

The new album by Sudan Archives is just *loaded* with bangers. Nonstop jams.

I wrote about 'The BPM' for @treblezine.bsky.social

I also wrote about the new album by Hannah Frances, which is absolutely gorgeous. A must-hear imo.

I've written about Neko Case a bunch of times before and never felt satisfied with the finished product, but I think I did ok with her latest

Treble @treblezine.bsky.social · 5d

'Neon Grey Midnight Green' is a sprawling and ambitious record that juxtaposes emotional highs with disorienting detours, as if to mirror the off-kilter rhythm of life itself

I have to assume most people my age discovered the Meat Puppets through Nirvana's Unplugged performance?

Maybe it's because I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash lately but that bad take is one I'm taking personally

Hannah Frances has very quickly grown into one of my favorite contemporary artists, and her new album 'Nested in Tangles' is a complex yet warm set of progressive folk, rich in dense horn arrangements and affecting lyrics about her own process of healing

I wrote about it for @treblezine.bsky.social

Treble @treblezine.bsky.social · 10d

Album of the Week: Hannah Frances' 'Nested in Tangles' is a richly rewarding work of musical and personal growth.
