Gregory Uhlmann Shares Again and Again

Something in this season is really bringing me into more drawn out sounds, thus I’m enjoy the piece that Gregory Uhlmann has just released. His musicianship should come as no surprise, as he’s already been on the road working with Hand Habits and Perfume Genius…but he’s taking notes from Cate le Bon and Low on this tune. The tune, like the title, has this cyclical nature to it; it works slowly, almost dragging you along in the first vocal verse. Then, as if a switch was flicked on, the tune begins a more forceful jaunt, one that feels more like spinning you about on some magical tilt-a-whirl, just hinting at the study of pop. And yet, it spins back again, back to the plodding before jumping right back towards the twirl, “again and again.” If you enjoy what you hear, it’s the title track to Gregory’s new album, Again and Again, out on April 28th via Northern Spy Records.

Wilder Maker Release New Video

Brooklyn’s Wilder Maker are prepping Zion, their forthcoming LP for Northern Spy Records, and they’ve just released a new video from the album. There’s a bunch of things to love about the video, not the least of which is the music. The band employ a careful approach, letting the song build upon itself rather than filling in every inch of space with sonic touches; it leaves the song open and welcoming. That’s perfect, as it allows for Katie Von Schleicher to offer up an expected vocal performance, smoky and soulful. The video itself features a party scene played out in reverse, with the world’s tiniest ping son table and a plant spinning records. Look for Zion to drop on July 13th.
