Bill Callahan Announces My Days of 58
I don’t think we all listen to enough of Bill Callahan; I’m not saying that he’s going to solve world issues, but hearing a new single immediately brings me to a place where I can find my own peace. When you press play below, you’re going to meet a deep-throated croon and lower octave strums; those heavier notes begin to embrace a lighter, hopeful strum, which in turn, changes Bill’s voice. For moments, he flirts with pop stardom, as string arrangements buoy his notes, only for Callahan to retreat into his more solemn delivery. Like all his work, it feels as if he’s operating as if each song has its own linear plot, twisting and turning until the tune hits a climactic moment that highlights his songwriting craft; the accents and nuance in the backing arrangements definitely highlight each little movement. Drag City will release My Days of 58, which comes out in February of next year!

There were a couple of out-of-the-blue announcements that I was grateful to enjoy, like brand new Just Joans and Kiwi Jr, both of whom just dropped some straight bangers into my mix. I really loved the new Pansy single, as its one of the more special tunes in the mix this week…and that Hirons single had its own way of captivating too. Along with all that, it was good to see Natalie Jane Hill back in the fold, as well as Emma Russack. Little bit of everything for you, so dig on.
As the year nears its close, there’s a handful of releases that are worthy of your listening experience. We wanted to run through a couple of them so you had some stuff to enjoy as you browse Bandcamp on the first Friday of the month. You’ll find some mellows jams, some guitar pop, and some powerhouse vocals…all of which we encourage you to enjoy by clicking below! Don’t forget to support your artists and labels.
