Beverley Martyn, the British folk singer-songwriter whose career ran from the Levee Breakers and Monterey Pop to a hard-won late return, has died at 79. KLOF Mag made her our Artist of the Month in 2014 around “The Phoenix and the Turtle” — the record that confirmed her, in Helen Gregory’s words, as a musical phoenix rising from the ashes.
Brighton’s Phantom Limb give American composer Michael F. Hunt his first-ever commercial release. Passage of Time, out June 19th, gathers three longform works recorded between 1980 and 1985 — pitched as a missing link between New Age, American minimalism and large-scale ensemble composition. The lead single, an edited version of the epic opener “Music for Multiple Keyboards,” is available to stream now.
London folk singer-songwriter Charlie Franklin has shared ‘Patchwork of Colours’, the lead single from her forthcoming self-titled debut EP, due 27th May. Produced by Natalie Wildgoose, the EP was tracked live to tape with guitar and vocals on first takes — feather-light folk in the lineage of Laura Marling and Kate Wolf.
