A standout staple of Nashville’s rock scene, Rose is “witty, brilliant company”(Pitchfork) and a “promisingly wry lyricist” (The Guardian) with a “wily and impressive blend of melancholy and cheek.”(New York Times) Her 2011 full-length Own Side Now earned her praise for her “sweet, knowing voice and a penchant for lyrics that are far darker” (New York Times), nestled in “simply adorned song-craft which...never seem constrained by Nashville tropes, old or new.”(BBC Music)
Rose’s 2013 follow-up, The Stand In, further established her as “the future of Nashville and American country music” (BBC Music), her voice “a striking instrument”(Pitchfork) that “channels Music Row architects from the ‘50s and ‘60s like Owen Bradley, Bob Ferguson, and Chet Atkins, redolent of the torchy, carefully crafted brilliance of country’s glory days.”(Spin)

Ben Lee began his career as a young teenager in the early 90’s, in the Australian lo-fi punk band Noise Addict, who were discovered by taste-making artists Sonic Youth and the Beastie Boys. That began an extraordinary career that has been both eclectic and eccentric, and still growing more strange and fascinating each day. Whether collaborating in one-off projects like the Bens (with Ben Folds and Ben Kweller), producing a Grammy award winning music/comedy album for Margaret Cho (“Cho Dependent”), duetting with Sarah Silverman, writing a psychedelic children’s musical with American literary legend Tom Robbins, or simply strumming away on his guitar and putting out over 20 solo albums of songs that have made romantics swoon for multiple generations, Ben’s career is always (to quote his song “Ache 4 You”) “confusing…but never dull”. 

The past few years has seen a renewed interest in Ben’s eclectic approach to creativity, gaining a new audience on TikTok for his offbeat sense of humor, and his 20th solo album “I’M FUN!” which Rolling Stone called “the best of his career” which featured collaborations with Jon Brion, Shamir, Sadie Dupius, Zooey Deschanel and Christian Lee Hutson. Now, collaborating with his wife, actress Ione Skye, on their company Weirder Together, Lee is supporting other artists create bizarre and beautiful content spanning everything from podcasts to music to fanzines to film projects. “Ive always done what seemed fun to me at the time. There is no other compass for me than what is enjoyable…I don’t look at life as a linear adventure,” he explains “I very rarely know where Im going next - I follow what I am passionate about and where I can be useful.”

Mix of the Week #229: Tokyo Matt - Kissaten Beat

Black Merlin - Kosua [IOTG-005]

Back in 2015 George Thompson AKA Black Merlin started a deep love affair with the remote island of Papua New Guinea. After his first album ‘Hipnotik Tradisi’, released on Island Of The Gods; George was intrigued to find a place drenched in culture and untouched by the western world.

In 2016 George planned his first solo expedition, venturing out to meet the Kosua Tribe. Over the course of the next two years George would record the sounds of the Kosua people. From their daily lives, ancient dance customs and wildlife. During one of these trips he spent 14 days alone in the jungle, getting in and out of the Mount Bosavi crater and further 3 days inside recording and filming his experience. These recordings and experiences formed the basis of his second album, Kosua.

Released by:
Island Of The Gods
Album release date:
