Band Of Horses frontman Ben Bridwell has confirmed the Seattle act’s return with new album ‘Why Are You Ok’ to be released in June.
Clues to the release of the new album were given in a ‘treasure trail’ style event at SXSW last week, and Bridwell confirmed the new album is on the way, and will focus on family, this week. The frontman says he wrote many of the tracks in the middle of the night to allow for caring for his children during the day.
The new album will come almost four years after ‘Mirage Rock’, Band of Horses’ fourth album, and will be produced by Grandaddy man Jason Lytle. The title is taken from a mistyped email sent by his son to a teacher.

74-year-old Sam Frazier Jr. learned harmonica from the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson and Slim Harpo, both of whom used to attend his mother’s backyard barbecues in Edgewater, Alabama, near Birmingham. In a musical career that has lasted more than 50 years, he has played blues, soul and even country (he was Country Boy Eddie’s harmonica player for 13 years on a country music show on Birmingham television in the 1970s and 1980s). His latest release is a self-titled modern take on old time acoustic country blues.
Frazier himself handles the lead vocals and harmonica, with backing from husband and wife team Sam Gunderson and Sara Green on acoustic guitars and backing vocals. Jacob Thompson also adds sparse cymbals to “Honest I Do”.
This is a relatively short album, with the nine tracks just hitting the half hour mark and one of those tracks is a 24-second spoken word piece by Frazier entitled “Intro”. Of the remaining eight, there are two tracks attributed to Frazier, the William Harris-esque “Inherit The Blues” and “Little Milton Jam” (which features a chorus that is identical to Milton’s own “The Blues Is Alright”) together with two Sonny Boy Williamson classics (“Don’t Start Me To Talkin’” and “Nine Below Zero”). Jimmy Reed’s “Honest I Do” and Buster Brown’s 1960 hit, “Fannie Mae” are both given relatively faithful readings, albeit with acoustic backing.

As a result of the resurgence of interest in folk and bluegrass music in the early 60s, Doc Watson was invited to appear at the 1963-64 Newport Folk Festivals and he performed at Town Hall in NYC in 1963 with Bill Monroe. This revival of interest was often manifested by enthusiasm for the genre on college campuses, which led to these amazing and rare solo performance recorded at Purdue University on March 19, 1964 with a second performance the following day at University of Illinois. The fact Doc is playing solo is also unique as his son Merle joined him on tour Shortly after those performances, he was invited to perform in front of enthusiastic college crowds, solo, before his son Merle joined him on tour the following year. This CD contains performances from his Purdue appearance that were not included in the initial Doc Watson: Live From Purdue CD as well as five rare tracks from his University of Illinois appearance..

After lurking in the fecund swamp of South London for what feels like a lifetime, filthy psych party-of-6 Phobophobes have finally surfaced with debut album Miniature World held high above their heads. Relentless gigging centred around the now-famous Windmill (adopted home of other breakthrough acts like Shame, Sorry and Goat Girl) has hardened them into a well-weathered outfit, as comfortable whipping a crowd into a raging tempest as sipping pints at the bar. The album, a tumultuous and unbridled melting pot of psych-rock, is their spoil of war. It’s just unfortunate that a wide-reaching streak of inventive creativity ends 20 minutes before the album does.
Cuban-born pianist Omar Sosa’s music, be it presented in solo performances or conjured by a small-or medium-sized group, has always drawn on confidential mysticism. But that’s not to say that his work doesn’t lend itself to large-scale interpretation. With Ceremony (2010) Sosa came out of the candlelit realms and shadows, bringing his music into full light by teaming up with Brazilian cellist-arranger Jaques Morelenbaum and Germany’s NDR Big Band to stretch his worldly designs onto larger canvases. Now, eight years after that scopic set arrived, a sequel has emerged.
Es:sensual, recorded at NDR Studios (like Ceremony), pulls material from six different Sosa albums, looking as far back as two decades ago to Free Roots (1997) and working with…
…more current currency from albums like Eggun (2013) and Ilé (2014). Morelenbaum had quite a task in working with this music, what with the need to honor Sosa’s original intentions, flesh out his compositions for the big band, and create a sense of consistency across such a wide swath of the pianist’s output. But he rose to the occasion. In these eight songs, the joy, the mystery, the heat, and the history are all aurally apparent.
The album opens with ebullient tidings in the form of “Cha Cha Du Nord,” where Sosa and a wonderfully raunchy trombonist make their mark. Then Morelenbaum moves on to other emotional pastures in his big band interpretations of Sosa’s music: a “Reposo” that lives up to its title by playing toward a state of rest, a sunny and sophisticated “l3zero,” and a gorgeously haunting “My Three Notes” that perfectly blends swirling gestures and intimate melodic thoughts.
As attractive as those first four numbers may be, some of them pale in comparison to the intriguing offerings encountered on the second half of the album. A most hypnotic and intensifying aural blend—nature sounds, marimba, hand percussion, chants, chatting and chattering horn individualists rolled into one—introduces the dynamic “Glu-Glu,” artfully setting the scene for a musical thrill ride with a tapered finish; a glazed and swaying “Iyade” keeps a steady course, providing a solidly vamping foundation for frolicsome flute and sly trumpet; a tour de force take on “Anguistado” proves gripping, giving cause and pause to admire some audacious saxophone work and a well-oiled ensemble in flight; and a muted and moody “Sad Meeting” offers a conclusion with a focus on the plaintive and passionate. With the exception of a list acknowledging the soloists, this album isn’t missing a thing.
Those who are new to Sosa’s work may be better off starting with other albums concerned with more focused musings, learning what he’s all about from the ground up before going big. But for those well-versed in his music, and especially those caught under Ceremony’s spell, Es:sensual is essential.
