A note from this shelf

Roots, hope, and heartache run deep: Darren Hayman adapts William Morris' 19th-century socialist chants into an urban folk album of warmth and defiant hope, recorded on Morris's own piano, while Wholesale Angel Market maps desolation, redemption, and animal instincts lurking in the far corners of our rooms. Jack Hayter returns with a haunting, occasionally unhinged solo EP — "Tom Waits and mates running amok in a second hand music shop" — and Ultimate Rick Jones offers a mandolin-laced anthem for anyone who thought better of going down with a ship. Brian Jin wanders from Hawaiian-cowboy-ukulele-jazz to dream-born gospel, while Zane Alexander captures songs alive in the moment — wind, birds, and evening air intact.
