SUMMARY:Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Made up of three sisters from Oregon\, Joseph are renowened for their signature sibling harmonies and stripped-back performance style. While their sophomore album\, I’m Alone\, No You’re Not (2016)\, arrived in a breeze of swoony folk\, pop rock-minded follow-up Good Luck\, Kid (2019) saw Joseph turn the volume – and soul – up. Raising their profile on tour with James Bay\, the group has since hosted a cosy NPR Tiny Desk concert and performed on Later… with Jools Holland.

SUMMARY:Nick Shoulders
DESCRIPTION:“All Bad\,” the latest album from Nick Shoulders\, ultimately encapsulates everything that makes Nick’s inimitable form of country music so vital: a heady balance of dazzling musicianship and punk defiance\, coupled with gritty eccentricity and a generational connection to the roots of the genre. With a singing style inherited from his family’s vocal lineage\, Nick’s songs achieve the rare feat of imparting difficult truths while inciting a certain joyful abandon\, balancing a sound forged by years of hard travel with a heartfelt reverence for the origins of country music. In the spirit of Hazel Dickens and Jimmy Driftwood\, the incisive yet wildly jubilant All Bad vocally objects to the reckless destruction of the natural landscape and development run rampant\, while still offering plenty of joy and dance-ready rhythms. Spanning a variety of early country styles\, the album’s infectious harmonies shine alongside everything from jangling cajun waltzes to surf-rock infused bluesy ballads–all tied together by a voice seemingly out of place in this century\, yet ever ready to speak up about its problems.  \nSurrounded by a singing style passed down from a time before microphones\, Nick’s childhood of bird call whistles and an over-exposure to southern gospel music eventually steered him toward an adolescence drumming for metal and punk bands\, and subsequent years as an active illustrator and member of Arkansas’s heavy music scene. After numerous personal calamities and a growing obsession with the rural musical traditions of his lifelong home\, Shoulders left the Ozarks and lived out of his van\, singing on the street corners of the west while slowly being drawn to the vibrance of the New Orleans dance and busking world. After forming in early 2018\, the ‘Okay Crawdad’ band flourished briefly in the wildly talented south Louisiana alt-country scene\, culminating in the release of ‘Rather Low’ by the popular YouTube channel Western AF\, catapulting Nick’s songs to a vastly wider audience right as Covid-19 and lockdowns ensued. Since then\, a rapid ascension into the world of touring music has seen Nick playing alongside the likes of Sierra Ferrell and at major festivals such as Stagecoach. With the hard rhythms and heavenly melodies of their newest release\, All Bad\, the band manages to concoct a body of work that is at turns sublimely freewheeling and profoundly illuminating\, yet primed to permanently warp the listener’s perspective to glorious effect.

SUMMARY:Low Cut Connie
DESCRIPTION:“This record is all kink and no shame\,” says Adam Weiner of ART DEALERS\, the tough\, sexy and tender new album coming from Low Cut Connie. “With Low Cut Connie\, I try to create a safe space for you to just absolutely get your freak on.” \nFor years now\, Low Cut Connie has built its grassroots coalition of oddballs\, underdogs\, and fun-loving weirdos with songs that celebrate life on the fringes of polite society. The band’s infamously wild\, passionate live shows provide a total release – of stress\, of inhibition\, of shame – working up a primordial rock n roll sweat for fans to get blissfully soaked in. The new album\, and its full-length companion film\, sizzle with that same cathartic sweat\, reminding us that it’s time to get dirty again\, and to feel alive. ART DEALERS sits at the intersection of sleazy and soulful – a collection of risky\, romantic\, life-affirming anthems\, all dedicated to you.
