Marshall Allen shares his solo debut at the age of 100

The crisis

Mr. Luck and Mrs. Doom (El Cortez)

Portland's Supergroup The Delines returned this month with another modern classic. From times from times, the music lived feels unstoppable when the songs bring a soul mood of the 1970s to the 1950s Honky-Tonk, which is complete and a few 80s Apply years. 90S-Alt Country Grooves. All of this is a fixed basis for the songwriter Willy Vlautin's lyrical stories of lost souls in desperate situations that were brought to a dusty, crawling life by the band's secret weapon, the singer Amy Boone.

Marshall Allen

New dawn (Weekend)

I am firmly convinced that jazz is a source of eternal youth. To prove this, you are just right than the career of Marshall Allen. The saxophonist of Avant-Jazz Non-Pareils Sun Ra's Arkestra has just released his debut solo album … at the age of 100. His physical movements may be somewhat slower than most others, his spirit and hands remain active than ever. The seven tracks New dawn are playful and lively, with Allen's characteristic sax skronk and the annoying belts of his trust. Ewi cuts through every spiritual jazz anthem.

The pain to be in the heart

Perfect at the moment (Slumberland)

With the Jangle Pop band, you celebrate 15 years since the publication of your debut album, TPOPAH gift fans with a long overdue collection of tracks from out-of-print singles and the material from 2009 EP. Higher than the stars. The whole thing is a wonderful recording of nostalgia directly to Coccyx, whereby the former Portlander KIP BERMAN conveniently fought to fight his unmistakable Croon via the hyperspeed guitars from “Come Saturday” and the Shoegaze Adjazent Sonic Gusch from “Ramona” hear.
