Matthew Ryan is offering a glimpse of his new Hustle Up Starlings LP with the premiere of the video for the album’s first single, “(I Just Died) Like an Aviator.”
Due May 12 and available to pre-order now, Hustle Up Starlings found Ryan collaborating with Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon, who handled production and contributed guitar. The 10-track set marks Ryan’s first full-length release since 2014’s Boxers — and arrives roughly 20 years after his debut album, 1997’s May Day, adding the latest impassioned chapter to a discography filled with tunefully ragged howls against the void.
“It’s an intimate story I’m telling here. These songs are personal, but if I’m lucky and I’ve done my job, they become universal,” Ryan says of Starlings. “The story I’m living and writing about is happening in the context of this world we’re all observing and feeling right now, a world that feels like it might catch fire with all its uncertainty and friction, the ugly politics and rising impulses. … Even when the world feels like it’s about to burn down, we keep leaning for tomorrow in our own lives and stories and families. It’s all hope and perseverance. We get up and we go to work. We believe in tomorrow, even when we’re not sure what tomorrow will be.”

A Hollow Triumph, After All, is getting tons of accolades. It’s is a genre-bending album, combining folk-punk, anthemic rock & roll, and indie-Americana with the somber yet celebratory spirit of a New Orleans funeral second line. Featuring Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls, NIN, Violent Femmes) & Franz Nicolay (The Hold Steady, World/Inferno Friendship Society) and channeling Tom Waits & Springsteen’s Nebraska, A Hollow Triumph After All, is a celebration of a life well-lived, all the while acknowledging the harsh truth that we’re born to die.

The Los Angeles Americana/indie-folk outfit has shared bills with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The White Buffalo & Chuck Ragan, has been featured at PopMatters, CMT, American Songwriter, No Depression, The Bluegrass Situation & more, and were voted best live band by OC Weekly.
Following on the heels of Moonsville I (the first installment of the band’s new four-volume EP series), Moonsville II (out April 21) casts these “purveyors of California good times” into more pensive waters, finding common ground between the slightly frayed, heartfelt ballads of The Avett Brothers and the stomping hootenanny-esque showstoppers of artists like Trampled By Turtles and Old Crow Medicine Show.

Los Angeles’ Moonsville Collective makes music for music’s sake. And in 2017, the Americana quintet with rootsy undertones is making a lot of it.
Moonsville Collective started as just that: a rotating cast of people gathering to jam and hone their musical chops. In 2013, they created a firm lineup and released two records of original music. The group also hit the road, taking their California vibe across the country. They shared stages with acts like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Chuck Ragar.
Now, the group is in the midst of an audacious project. To showcase their musicality and wide-ranging sound, Moonsville Collective created a four-volume EP. Every three months, the band releases a new collection of five new tunes… READ MORE

Wanderwild’s spacey, reverb-washed debut EP, Fleeting, is an expansive and sweeping collection of indie pop, rock and folk that recalls the tender melodic brilliance of Feist and Bon Iver, while evoking the moody immediacy of bands like Deerhunter and The National. This captivating, densely layered project is the work of multi-instrumentalist Matt Martin, who, with just a few exceptions, is Wanderwild’s sole contributor.
When the Athens, Ga.-based Martin began considering a video for new single “Evergreens,” one of the highlights of Fleeting, he and his friends from Georgia-based film collective The Wily Breed—Gabe Cuomo, Sean Bradley, and Trevor Blesse—ventured to the Seattle, Wash., wilderness. The stunning visuals for “Evergreens” not only mirror the anthemic nature of the song, but are reflective of Martin’s personal struggles, as well. “Evergreens is a song about internal strife,” he says. “It’s a conversation with myself, as I try to sift through anxiety and uncertainty. I’m battling cynicism with the wisdom that comes from knowing the universe is far bigger than myself.”
Wily Breed member (and longtime Martin friend) Cuomo signed on as director, producer and editor on “Evergreens,” approaching Martin’s ideas with what he calls “passionate idealism.” Cuomo and his team spent hours scaling the rugged wilderness of Washington state—wrestling the topographical limitations of their surroundings while sunburned, dehydrated and freezing cold. The result is awe-inspiring—a clip that blends serenity with tension, pure bliss with stark inevitability… READ MORE
