A note from this shelf

From the banks of the sacred to the shores of the unexpected: Elly Kace channels ambient bluegrass for the reclamation of the divine feminine, while Brian Jin wanders from Hawaiian-cowboy-ukulele-jazz to dream-born Gospel — "proof that God has a fine sense of humor." Kathodos conjures dark ritual chants, and The Tremaines offer a dreamy love song written in a hurricane. The Lazy I strips back to rare gentleness with haunting alt-folk and elegant strings, while The Male Pattern exploits Americana tropes in a funny, violent concept album that is "ugly, weird, and free of academic constraints."
