    Always a lot of new sounds floating around. My sig has some of my recent favorites. Shearwater signing to Matador early this year and re-recording 5 of the songs/remastering/reissuing last years Palo Santo on 2 heavy slabs of RTI pressed vinyl was a pretty big deal. Really nice record. Or find a copy of that Richard Buckner debut on either the German Glitterhouse label or original US DejaDisc (not the Ryko remaster, too compressed) and you will be happy. Lots of talk recently around here about that.



    NP: Second listen to Polly Jean's White Chalk. Sounds like a very nice recording, I was afraid it would be horribly compressed like the last couple, and like most major label stuff, which always irked me in light of the big dynamics on her first couple records, but maybe because this one is more reflective, with piano as the primary accompaniment, they used better judgment. Screw the idiots at the record label, this one you have to crank pretty high. Into that region of your volume control that doesn't see much action anymore. Really sounds nice on both speakers and Senn 600s. Cool reverb on her voice(s) that keeps you looking up. In any case, Polly will always be special to me, and a new record is always welcome. Dark, reflective, and melancholy, to be sure, but we all have moods. Not sure she's your ticket, though
