Kacy & Clayton – Strange Country (New West) There’s no contesting the enduring nature of folk music. Even in between “revivals” and “waves” of folk entering and exiting the zeitgeist, you can always find a wealth of artists carrying the torch for the roots of most modern songs. While it’s usually split between more traditional styles […]
May 18th @ The Newton (Changing Hands) Next Wednesday, Stinkweeds and The Trunk Space have teamed up for a special evening of music with Psychic Temple and Slow Moses. For those of you unfamiliar with Psychic Temple, they are a stellar band on the cusp of notoriety and household namedness. Their newest album, on Sufjan Steven’s label Asthmatic […]
I like to look at this blog as a place of introspection and discovery. When I write a review or share an opinion on a subject, I’m simply sharing the thoughts of a fellow music lover, for those of you who may be interested in the thoughts of someone who spends a lot of time around music. […]
Here are 5 albums that have been getting a lot of play in the store lately. It seems this year is off to a great start, with a variety of music that seems to be breaking a lot of the molds and shirking the popular trends. We hope these keep up, because we’re having a […]

This show has been canceled due to unfortunate circumstances. Here is a statement from the band: “It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the cancellation of our US tour. After two great tours of the US in 2015, due to circumstances beyond our control we were unable to enter the US […]
A bonus byproduct of the recent big rearrange of our shop is that we now have more room to hold shows! Our lack of space never really stopped us before… In the past, our tiny Central Phoenix store has hosted in-store performances from bands like Wye Oak, Dirty Projectors, Blitzen Trapper and No Age.

This album is essentially a love note for the disenchanted and morose souls. However, it also has some incredible, fun music on it as well. Made up of pre-war recordings (1917-1935) from the Cajun bayous to Appalachia and all the way across the pond to the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, the songs on this album are […]
