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.
