New Releases by Joseph Allred, Tobacco City, Dylan Golden Aycock open.substack.com/pub/scissortai…

New release announcement: Joseph Allred made an amazing full band album that sounds like Ry Cooder mixed with Cocteau Twins mixed with 80’s Fahey. 300 copies available here > josephallred.bandcamp.com/album/old-time…

@misterminsoo When I think of Americana I think of dudes like Jason Isbell so I can’t really imagine the combo. Ambient country makes a little more sense bc you can use trad country instruments in an ambient way. I’m still trying to get twangbient off the ground.

i like some of the stuff in that zone but a lot of artists approach it in a lazy manner, where the “ambient” part of it does a lot of heavy lifting and the “americana” part becomes perfunctory window dressing. it creates a weird and toothless middle ground.

“ambient americana” must be stopped

Latest Review: Suspended in time, yet charged with a power and purpose for today, Tobacco City’s ‘Horses’ examines running free to the sound of pedal steel guitars and the timeless vibrations of youth. @ScissorTailRecs klofmag.com/2025/03/tobacc…

New single and video just dropped for the Tobacco City ‘Horses’ LP coming out 3/7. Grab a vinyl before the sell out! tobaccocity.bandcamp.com/album/horses?l…

Hey y’all I have a new album out on Feeding Tube Records and @worriedsongs called ‘No New Summers’ bunch of 12 string and pedal steel stuff on there. It’s been nearly a decade since my last solo record so I’m happy to finally have something to share. feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com/album/no-new-s…

“Autumn” captures Midwest youth and the anguish and ache of days spent trying to turn away through any method available. Wrapped up in the dazed glow of Cosmic Country, aloft on slides from Andy “Red” PK, the song breaks the heart gently. @ScissorTailRecs bit.ly/3Pw70ny

Tobacco City recall youthful indiscretions and evade an ill-fitting nostalgia on “Autumn” Listen: beatsperminute.com/tobacco-city-r… The band’s new album, Horses, is due out March 7 via @ScissorTailRecs

I'm excited to announce that I'm now doing a monthly roundup of the best country (and country-adjacent) music on Bandcamp! Fair game: Country, folk, bluegrass, roots music, Americana, singer-songwriters, acoustic sounds, weirdo twang, old-time, Western swing, Southern rock, etc.

The latest release by Levi J. Burr is up on bandcamp daily’s best country albums of June.

Review: Joshua Massad & Dylan Aycock - Two Improvisations (@ScissorTailRecs): ...Imagine Ry Cooder and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt’s 'A Meeting by the River' with the experimental knob turned right up and you’ll get close. Spellbinding. klofmag.com/2024/05/review…

Aussie guitarist Levi J. Burr gives a country curl to the fingerpicked guitar album, positioning his works between Joseph Allred and SUSS, sparring pedal steel with BJ Cole, Chuck Johnson, Jy-Perry Banks, and Will Van Horn. @ScissorTailRecs tinyurl.com/49pe76dv
