We believe 2021 will prove to be a pivotal year for Stinkweeds. Along with our regular customers, who we appreciate to no end, this has been a year of new faces. With those new faces comes new tastes, conversation and responsibility to our customers. Our first accommodating change was to bring on two new members […]
Buck Meek – Two Saviors [Keeled Scales] If you’ve listened to Big Thief, you may recognize Buck Meek as the understated element of their sound, giving it a quiet, wild nature that shapes the music to fit the heaviness of singer/songwriter’s Adrianne Lenker’s lyrics and vocals. Through his guitar work, he has mastered the subtle […]
The Stinkweeds Blog has kept a pretty strong streak of “Five Favorites” over the past few years, consistently throwing together the best five albums to come out every month. With the exception of April (Record Store MONTH), we haven’t missed a single month in years. But, as I’m sure many of you can relate, I’ve […]
The New Pornographers – In The Morse Code of Brake Lights [Concord] There’s a lot of mystery to the success of New Pornographers. I’m not speaking of their notoriety. That is easily explained by their longevity, consistency and the fact that the band, in various formations, has been made up of multiple, very highly […]
We are thrilled and incredibly lucky to once again be hosting one of our newest favorite bands. Outer Spaces is a band out of Baltimore, Maryland, currently signed to Western Vinyl (another Stinkweeds Favorite) and releasing their first album on that label in late June. We previously covered this album as one of our “5 […]
Stef Chura – Midnight [Saddle Creek] A timeless rocker from Stef Chura. Chura’s voice hits like a truck. It’s pushed and strained to that sweet spot right before it becomes contrived. She has a natural affect that a lot of singers might try to fake, with little to no success. The melodies ramble almost in […]
We want to offer our deepest gratitude for all of you, our dear customers, new and old. Over the past few years, we’ve been seeing so many new faces, looking for every kind of music imaginable. Stinkweeds is an ever-changing creature. We’ve found that our customers are that special kind of music fan who want […]
This is the last monthly Five Favorites for the year! Come December, we will have compiled all of our favorites from this last year to make our big “TOP 5s” for the year. All of us at Stinkweeds will contribute to this list, as well as some of our favorite customers. Most likely, a lot […]
Maybe it’s the warming weather, or the steady ease of the first 1/4 of the year, but you might find that all 5 of these albums have a lot of similarities. We always try to mix it up, for these reviews. But, that’s not so much the case this time. I can’ explain it. Sometimes […]
Another year in the books!!! So much has changed in the music industry, but we are still standing tall, thirty years in, and we couldn’t do it without all of you! One of the things we’ve always prided ourselves on is keeping the safe space of the record store alive; a place to explore new […]
