We’re New Here: Silver Synthetic

“We’ve definitely refined our sound on Rosalie,” says singer-guitarist Chris Lyons of Silver Synthetic’s latest album. “We were still figuring out who we were on our first record, but this one has a clearer identity. It’s just a lot more dynamic.” Advertisement A beatific union of cosmic Americana and harmonious guitar grooves, Rosalie is certainly a step up from the New Orleans quartet’s 2021 debut. Its charm partly lies in its warm evocation of another era, while also aligning the band to contemporaries like Rose City Band or Beachwood Sparks. Indeed, the latter’s Brent Rademaker was so impressed that...

According to Euro Step, the team behind Mac Mikes, the additions of Lil Yee and Baby Money were last-minute decisions that ultimately transformed the track. “Their energy and style blended effortlessly,” the team explains, highlighting how these spontaneous collaborations often yield...

Ultimate Record Collection: The Beatles, 1965-1970

As we join the Beatles in the latest Ultimate Record Collection, it is the start of 1965, and Beatlemania is cresting. You can tell because there are still seemingly dozens of new singles, Eps, US album variations, and key personal appearances appearing in our definitive timeline. On the covers of their records they appear under umbrellas, joining hands, and on stage. But which is the truest representation of the group? Perhaps it’s the tired eyes of the 1964 Beatles For Sale group, on an EP which appears at the start of the year which tells the truest story. The...

Jesse Malin: Keep On Burning

In May 2023, Jesse Malin was walking to his local restaurant in New York when he felt a sharp pain in his upper thigh. He tried to shake it off, but by the end of the night he was lying on the floor as he settled the bill, having suffered a spinal stroke that left him paralysed. It’s been a tough 18 months, but Malin will be back onstage in December to perform a full set at New York’s Beacon Theatre, at a benefit show for his treatment, with special guests including Lucinda Williams and Jakob Dylan.

I’m New Here: Sam Moss

Sam Moss always looks for the irregular pieces of wood at his local lumber yard. “They have a pile of weird scraps that they can’t sell,” says the woodworker and singer-songwriter based in Staunton, Virginia. “I like to paw through and take a bunch of odd pieces and make them into strange little tables or whatever.” When he’s not touring, Moss is at home in his workshop or doing handyman jobs around town. “I do a lot of work fixing and renovating houses, where you want straight lines and functionality. But my woodworking is the opposite, and I get...

Edith Frost In Space

Edith Frost opens her first album in almost 20 years with an organ, some dramatic guitar strums, and an important question: “Can you hear me?” she sings on “Another Year”. The moment is small and intimate, as though she’s clearing her throat or testing her microphone. The song might have started as a downhearted pandemic Christmas song about spending the holiday away from loved ones, but in this new incarnation, it serves as a fitting reintroduction to this cult country singer, a witty means of acknowledging the long interval between records. “Been a long time, but I’m alright,” she...

Lonnie Holley Tonky

It’s still early in 2025, but “Seeds”, the opening track from Lonnie Holley’s fifth studio album Tonky, might be one of the most powerful and affecting pieces of music you’ll hear all year. Across its nine minutes, the 75-year-old artist and musician tells the tale of his formative years at the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children, a juvenile correctional facility that was run in conditions not far off those of a slave plantation. THE APRIL 2025 ISSUE OF UNCUT, STARRING LED ZEPPELIN, JASON ISBELL, BRYAN FERRY, MARIANNE FAITHFULL, THE WATERBOYS, DAVID BOWIE, MADDY PRIOR AND MORE, IS AVAILABLE...
