Seattle folk-rock artisans the Head and the Heart have always been admirably honest about their rustic notions of musicality, celebrating uncluttered craft, homey detail and vérité revelation. “Signs of Light” is their third studio album, and first album released through Warner Bros. Records.

The Mojave Desert reverberates with mysticism. It’s a landscape of boulders seemingly transported from the moon alongside Joshua Trees, their tops angled upward like hands grasping at the heavens. This is where everyone from John Lennon and Keith Richards to Victoria Williams and Gram Parsons have come for inspiration. And early last year, it’s where The Head and the Heart decided to shed old skin before writing their fourth album, Living Mirage, a sweeping, artful expansion of the earthy folk rock that once defined them.

The follow-up to 2016’s chart-topping Signs of Light, Living Mirage sees the Head and the Heart operating without co-founder Josiah Johnson, who left the group amicably shortly after Signs of Light’s release — replacing him on guitar and vocals is Matt Gervais, the husband of violinist and vocalist Charity Rose Thielen. The Seattle group’s fourth full-length effort and their second outing for Warner Bros, the 11-track set continues to mostly eschew the rural folk-rock of their first two records for a more radio-ready approach that hews closer to “Little Lies”-era Fleetwood Mac than it does Fleet Foxes or the Avett Brothers. Still, there is a sort of sanguine rusticity that runs through the LP that evokes the breezy folk-pop of contemporaries like Of Monsters and Men and the Lumineers, especially on the slow-churning title track and the life-affirming opener “See you Through My Eyes.” The glossy production that made Signs of Light a tad divisive is dialed back a bit this time around, but there’s no denying the band’s pivot toward pop, as evidenced by the lead singles “Missed Connections” and “Honeybee,” both of which exhibit a significant electro-folk sheen. As per usual, the Head and the Heart excel at delivering familiar melodies paired with lyrics that look inward, yet just far enough into the abyss to wring out some sort of generic catharsis. As emotionally and musically on the nose as songs like “Running Through Hell” and “Saving Grace” are, they, like all of the material on Living Mirage, are executed with great care and performed with genuine spirit. That the album ends with just Jonathan Russell and his acoustic guitar looking for refuge inside the embassy of music is fitting. Stripped of all of the bells and whistles, the Head and the Heart are as homespun and simple as they come, and it’s in that state of undress where those relatable words and melodies most resonate. ~ James Christopher Monger

Hailed as ‘the new voice of Russia’ and the star of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, Venera Gimadieva has quickly become one of the most sought-after lyric coloratura sopranos in Europe. Her performances as Violetta in La Traviata have earned sensational reviews, with the Guardian describing her at her Glyndebourne Festival debut as “a soprano of huge presence, compelling to watch, with a voice of thrilling security and range, and a special quality to her quieter singing that makes you hang on every note.”

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Challenge Records
The Hague Songbook Exchange is an exchange of compositions between jazz musicians and producers from the electronic music scene.
Initiator Martijn Verlinden: “This album is a collection of songs which shows that the city of The Hague is bursting with musical talent. Many jazz musicians and producers from the city have been leading and innovative in music for decades. The idea for the album came about because I have been active in music for more than 25 years, and because of that I am especially a great fan of jazz and electronic music. By exchanging compositions between the two music styles, they have been rearranged without deviating from their own genre and new music has emerged. This album is an ode to my father Martin Verlinden, he was a jazz pianist and passed away in 1989.”

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:16:01 minutes | 803 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Brilliant Classics
Paganini was the first great ‘star’ of instrumental music, the precursor of the rock stars of today, able to induce collective hysteria as well as to dictate fashion and to influence the behaviour of entire generations. He did this by transforming the violin into an orchestra of multiple voices and timbral experimentation, in other words, stretching the very limits of what a single instrument could do.

The Go-Go’s – Vacation (1982/2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 36:04 minutes | 793 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © A&M
The surprise success of Beauty and the Beat meant that the Go-Go’s were expected to remain hitmakers, so perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that their second album, Vacation, is a considerably slicker affair than their debut. Sporting a glossy yet alluring finish, the album has an appealing, radio-ready sound, but it’s at the expense of the giddy sense of fun that made Beauty and the Beat such a vibrant record. However, Vacation is far from a washout. Although half the album is padded with filler, the very best moments are terrific pop songs, highlighted by the bouncy “This Old Feeling” and the classic title track.

The Gloaming – The Gloaming 3 (2019)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:10:20 minutes | 1,26 GB | Genre: Celtic, Classical, Medieval

World renowned Irish American group’s third studio album. The Gloaming is four master musicians and one singer, seemingly suspended in time as their music unfurls around them, its tendrils reaching out into every nook and cranny of the room. It’s undoubtedly Irish music – with violinists Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, guitarist Dennis Cahill, and with Ó Lionáird, one of the greatest contemporary sean-nos singers. But it’s also more than that: pianist and producer Thomas Bartlett steers the music towards a place where modernity and the old world become one. The heart of The Gloaming remains, but there are touches throughout that signal its points of difference.
