The New Releases Shelf — Western Stars

June 27, 2019 Dan Seeger

Three months shy of his seventieth birthday, no one would chastise Bruce Springsteen for hanging up his guitar strap. Especially following the monumental Springsteen on Broadway run, it would seem the man who strummed his first formative chords with the … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Western Stars

The New Releases Shelf — Originals

June 20, 2019 Dan Seeger

I come to Originals, the new album credited to Prince, with mighty mixed emotions. My cumbersome manner in naming the performer associated with the release basically tells the story. I have a hard time believing Prince would have been pleased … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Originals

The New Releases Shelf — Dedicated

June 13, 2019 Dan Seeger

I’ve spent the last few days knocked to the canvas by a cruel summer ailment. Maybe it’s a summer cold or a bout with the flu. Maybe it’s something yet worse that I, a stubborn fool, should have already gone … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Dedicated

The New Releases Shelf — I Am Easy to Find

June 5, 2019June 5, 2019 Dan Seeger

I got my first sense of the sound of I Am Easy to Find, the new album from the National, from a track released by a completely different band. For the album Love is Dead, which came out in 2018, … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — I Am Easy to Find

The New Releases Shelf — U.F.O.F.

May 29, 2019 Dan Seeger

U.F.O.F., the new album from Brooklyn-based band Big Thief, is a lovely, elusive work. The first three letters of the title stand for exactly what anyone would think they do, and the tacked on consonant represents the word “friend.” On … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — U.F.O.F.

The New Releases Shelf — Father of the Bride

May 16, 2019 Dan Seeger

It’s not easy to like Vampire Weekend. I carry enough vaporous remainders of my bygone college radio posturing against bands that didn’t conform to my peer group’s preference for vagabond scruff, all battered sneakers, faulty gear, and romanticized disenfranchisement. From … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — Father of the Bride

The New Releases Shelf — In League with Dragons

May 14, 2019 Dan Seeger

“Recite the songs that kept me whole/ On the day I hand over command control/ Try to let them all flow into this one,” sings John Darnielle on “Done Bleeding,” the track that opens In League with Dragons. The new … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — In League with Dragons

The New Releases Shelf — When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

April 23, 2019 Dan Seeger

There was a time when I was dead certain that the further someone was past their teenaged years, the less business they had flinging pop songs into the world. The vernacular of modern pop is still drawing its emotional language … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

The New Releases Shelf — On the Line

April 4, 2019 Dan Seeger

On the Line, the new album from Jenny Lewis, exists in a glorious time warp. The artistic sensibility that she’s developed across the two decades since Rilo Kiley’s debut is firmly in place, but is as if there’s a spinning … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — On the Line

The New Releases Shelf — When I Get Home

March 21, 2019 Dan Seeger

The baby sister in the intimidatingly talented Knowles clan, Solange faced a monumental task in following up 2016’s A Seat at the Table, which was widely and justly celebrated as an elegant reinvention of classic soul music. Blazingly smart and … Continue reading The New Releases Shelf — When I Get Home
