Johnny Marr’s Quiet Genius Comes Fully Into Focus On 'The Age of Everything' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When The Smiths broke up in 1987, Morrissey was the obvious choice for a solo career. Johnny Marr’s career wasn’t so obvious. As half of the iconic writing partnership and architect of The Smiths’ sound, Marr had just as much right to a solo career, but he held back, playing with other bands like The Pretenders and Modest Mouse (and briefly with one he started in 2003). It wasn’t until 2013 that he finally pushed through whatever barrier was holding him at bay and released The Messenger. Like mu
Greg Freeman Gives The 2020s The Soundtrack It Deserves on Valiant 'All Set the Bone' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Time to join the world you fucked up,” sings Greg Freeman in the opening line of his new album, All Set the Bone. With a vocal tone throughout the album that sounds like someone in an argument just before hysteria sets in, most of these songs have a raw, first-take feel (in quality if not in fact). Even so, Freeman’s poetic precision is surgical. He opens up the body of the 2020s, and if he often sounds absurd, well, guess what? Freeman released his debut album, I Looked Out, in 2022, and a lit
The Suitcase Junket Walks Grief's Long Road On Raw & Ragged 'To Go On' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Suitcase Junket is a one-man band powered by guitarist and singer-songwriter Matt Lorenz, whose first album, Sever and Lift (2010), told the world that, among other things, dudes who make music simultaneously with a guitar and other contraptions are still around. Taking his moniker from the suitcase that serves as a kick drum and bench, Lorenz spent the 2010s steadily releasing blues and roots albums that reflected his solitary approach. His 2020 album, The End is New, found Lorenz in the co
Leon Bridges Steps Back Into the Groove on 'Happiness Anytime' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since his debut in 2015, Leon Bridges has proved to be a more durable artist than his collection of throwback 1960s soul tunes, Coming Home, would have suggested. He charted a course over the first decade of his career that saw him putting his stamp on 1990s neo-soul and R&B, collaborating with Khruangbin, and song-smithing ballads with the same kind of intuition and authenticity that he brought to his debut, while never really severing his connection to that classic 60s era. When Bridges releas
World Famous Pets (Edie Brickell, Matt Chamberlain) Embrace the Unknown on Their Eclectic Debut (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Hadna Been for Your,” the first track on the debut album of World Famous Pets, is a case study in how to open a record by foreshadowing it. Beginning suddenly with Matt Chamberlain’s drums at full gallop, Kaveh Rastegar’s bass makes a long descent to pick up a winding unison line with Mason Stoop’s guitar. Singer Edie Brickell slides around her bluesy melody as her background vocals answer, and Stoops drives the tension up until the breakneck pace suddenly releases to half-time. “I’ve got to fi
