On this week’s roundup . . .

. . . mostly a bunch of sad, great songwriters from overseas.

If you need a pick-me-up, this is not the place for you this week.

Happy Good listening.

Phoebe Bridgers – Smoke Signals

Here’s something haunting and sparse and altogether great.

———

Jamie Sloan – Friends and Family

Lonely indie folk from Northern Ireland.

———

The Wind and the Wave – Skin and Bones

Smart, catchy, fun pop from an up-and-coming Austin, Texas duo.

———

Callum Pitt – You’d Better Sell It While You Can

A little Bon Iver, a little The War on Drugs on this one.

———

Johnny Flynn – Raising the Dead

Because there are simply not enough slow, ambling songs about resurrection nowadays.

Until next week, cheers.
