Myron Elkins didn’t set out to become a full-time musician. After graduating from high school, the then 17-year-old instead became a welder in his hometown of Otsego, Michigan and had every intention of making that his career.

A very important release for me, because it presents - for the first time - Reinhold Friedrich, an excellent soloist, who is supported by congenial partners: Hannes Läubin (trumpet), Gregory Ahss (solo violin), Munich Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Martín Baeza-Rubio.

LA-based, Oregon-bred four piece, FLOR, specialize in vibrant, self-reflective sensibilities set to the sounds of some of the best indie-pop you’ll hear all year. They’ve just released their highly-anticipated debut album, come out, you’re hiding, via Fueled By Ramen and are set to take over the music world this year, even making an appearance at NYC’s The Meadows Music and Arts Festival this fall. Mentors of sorts for the shy and introverted, flor’s music captures the essence of putting your heart out there despite your reservations, making their debut a stunning display of hope and light at a time when we need it most.

Allison Pierce is launching the second chapter of her distinguished career with "Year of the Rabbit", an eloquent straight-from-the-heart solo debut. This album finds Pierce transformed following two decades of recording and performing with her sister Catherine as The Pierces. The duo's five albums and constant tours brought them critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. But as the years passed, each longed to express herself unfettered by the other and in 2015, The Pierces called it quits, whereupon the sisters launched solo careers.

With a naturally expressive voice that has drawn comparisons to greats like Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald, Texas-based singer and songwriter Ruthie Foster has a wide palette of American song forms – gospel and blues to jazz, folk, and soul – and her live performances are powerfully transfiguring.

Preceded by the singles, the debut full-length "The Witch" from London "industrial spiritual" band Pumarosa is a collection of songs that channel the undercurrents of the present day: collectivism, frustration, euphoria, feminism, politics, aggression and love. Packed full of genius - with a few dips that promised more - for the most part, this does play a little like a Greatest Hits. An impressive achievement from such a new band.

Pokey LaFarge’s self-styled image as dusty old troubadour extends even to his name, a handle that sounds borrowed from a freight train-hopping, dustbowl-era storyteller of a certain Woody Guthrie vintage. Eight albums on, he’s done little to alter that perception, thanks to a sound that traces its roots to the back porches of America’s heartland. From the sly saunter of opening track “Riot in the Streets” to the vampish “Mother Nature,” LaFarge and his feisty six piece band sound like refugees from the roadhouse circuit, all sass and swagger with plenty of juke jump energy to spare.

Aufgenommen in zwei Tagen im Sommer 1967 ist "Nefertiti" das letzte vollständig akustische Album von Miles Davis, ohne Kompositionen von Miles selbst.
