1 MINT MILE Sunbreaking
Silkworm’s Tim Midyett returns with the second Mint Mile album, Roughrider, mixing up the sounds of his old band with the ragged swing of Pavement and Crazy Horse, plus some gorgeous chamber accompaniment. Read more from Tim on page 14.
2 JESSICA PRATT World On A String
Here In The Pitch, the longawaited follow-up to 2019’s Quiet Signs, is our Album Of The Month on page 24. Here’s a highlight of this seductive, velveteen folk record, with Pratt’s strummed nylon-string acoustic and echoing voice gradually joined by a haze of Mellotron synths, keys and sparse drums. Truly magical.
