On Old Spot (II), fiddle player Rowan Piggott and banjoist Joe Danks continue exploring American Old-time traditions with a discernible difference in the sound — a suggestion of minimalism around some songs, and a precise nature to the playing. The duo’s second album is a significant leap forward — a very accomplished set from two players who clearly love their craft.

Emily A. Sprague has shared “Double Moon,” a new single and video via RVNG Intl. The lead track from her forthcoming EP of the same name, it layers incantatory repetitions over translucent washes of modular synth, with V Haddad contributing backing vocals and creating the accompanying video. The Double Moon EP is due May 29th.

Seoul seven-piece Leenalchi announce their Luaka Bop debut EP Here Comes That Crow, out June 12th, alongside a new video for the title track and lead single. Led by bassist and producer Jang Young Gyu, the band draws its material from pansori — the traditional Korean form of musical storytelling — and counts Brian Eno, Robyn, and Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus among admirers.

Aaron MF Olson has announced Songs Album II, his debut for Country Thyme Records, alongside the lead single and video “Nobody Can Tell”, Directed by Matt Hewitt. A romantic ballad of innate sweetness and wry wit, the song finds Olson in full command of his pop sensibilities — widescreen, precise and quietly unsettling. The album arrives June 26th.
