For the Record

Jeb Loy Nichols & Cold Diamond & Mink - This House Is Empty Without You
Jeb Loy Nichols & Cold Diamond & Mink - This House Is Empty Without You

This House Is Empty Without You is a late-night soul record in the truest sense—unhurried, bruised, and quietly devastating. Jeb Loy Nichols’ weathered voice drifts through Cold Diamond & Mink’s deep-pocket arrangements like a ghost moving room to room, haunted by love that’s already gone. It’s not flashy, and it’s not trying to be. This is music for after everything else has settled.

The lone album by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks—released two years before they would change the course of Fleetwood Mac—Buckingham Nicks is a strange, beautiful, and quietly powerful record.

Greg Freeman - Burnover
Greg Freeman - Burnover

Greg Freeman thrives on finding emotional catharsis and present-day resonance in the eccentric ugliness of the past. His songs all have a palpable sense of place thanks to his urgent delivery and evocative lyricism, which mines history for character-driven tales of violence, loss, and epiphany.

The Swell Season - Forward
The Swell Season - Forward

Forward is The Swell Season’s first full-length album in 16 years — a reunion of sorts for the pair of songwriters/vocalists Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, following their 2009 album Strict Joy.

Twenty One Pilots - Breach
Twenty One Pilots - Breach

Breach is framed as the conclusion to a long-running conceptual arc that began with Blurryface (2015), continued through Trench (2018), Scaled and Icy (2021), and Clancy (2024).
