On February 3rd, the San Francisco based guitar-drum duo Two Gallants are set to release their 5th studio album, We Are Undone, on ATO Records. While singer and guitarist Adam Stephens and drummer Tyson Vogel have stayed true to the two-person format since their acclaimed 2004 debut, The Throes, their sound has evolved considerably over the intervening years. Following 2012’s The Bloom and the Blight, We Are Undone is the band’s second release on ATO. Thematically, the album ranges from songs that attempt to make sense of the dramatically shifting social landscape of their home town, to the illusion of authenticity, impending environmental collapse, and romantic estrangement. Sonically, the thrash blues of songs such as “We Are Undone” and “Some Trouble” is balanced by the austerity of ballads such as “My Man Go” and “There Is So Much I Don’t Know.”

John Ghost is a band from Ghent (Belgium), concerning guitarist-composer Jo De Geest. The band, which was formed in 2010, had not yet left its childhood phase when it was selected for the “Young Jazz Talent” contest of the renowned Gent Jazz Festival. The seasoned festival audience savoured their performance. A series of concerts followed, among which one at the International Jazz Festival Middelburg, in the Netherlands. 
After a brief period of consideration, the band got its second wind. Again, they dove into the rehearsal room, developed their own sound and made their first EP.
