The Modern Folk

March 17 Modern Folk Band Tape Release Covert Cafe 803 SE 82md Ave 7pm

St Paddy’s day show on 82nd ave - the lord’s country

Shane Parish - Autechre guitar

Believe it or not I’ve never listened to Autechre. My appreciation of @shaneparish.bsky.social artistry was enough to sell me on this, and it’s beautiful

Mope Grooves - Box of Dark Roses

This record goes so many places and goes so hard. Musical exploration and militant liberation politics in a perfect mix here. The album title fits so well, each song is a dark rose

I had a lucid dream last night, such a wild thing. Dreams, whether they are fun or terrifying or something else, are among my favorite experiences in life. Feels like perceiving rare and inspirational truths

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

What an achingly beautiful record. Van has the most redeeming talent-to-crank ratio in the whole business. His performances are otherworldly

Shoes - Black Vinyl Shoes

This is maybe my fav record of the 70’s straight-ahead Power Pop movement. Crisply composed songs, shaggy homespun recordings. Would Power Pop Pop Pop approve?

Rosali - No Medium

This record hits so hard. No Medium indeed!

MF BAND has been out for 3 weeks and there are only a handful of tapes left! If you pay extra for the tape or buy a digital copy, that money goes to Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition. Grab 1 while they last. Thanks Bud Tapes! Thanks Skyler for producing! Thanks Zack for the cover art. Link in bio

Another great Modern Folk release. Among many other things that could be highlighted, this is one for those who like that OLD Beachwood Sparks-type sound that just doesn't seem to be around anymore. Highly recommended.

Modern Folk Band, by The Modern Folk 11 track album

Only SIX of these tapes left!

Edsel Axel st LP

Edsel Axel - solo/side project of the great Rosali. I believe made with just an amp, a guitar and a tascam 4-track. A celebration of guitar and electricity

Pharoah Sanders - Tauhid

One of my favorite PS records, playful melodies with Burrell and Sharrock on board!

Modern Folk Band, by The Modern Folk 11 track album

These are moving fast! Get a tape soon if you want - of course the digital version will wait for you!

The New Eves - The New Eve Rising

Angry, weird, pulsing, blasting, chanting art punk gem. Thanks @superelectricrecs.bsky.social for playing it for me. Easy to say “RIYL The Raincoats or Kleenex” but that doesn’t really tell the whole story

The Modern Folk - Shenandoah, by Various Artists from the album 2025 Sampler

At the top of our daily BC charts today we have Shenandoah by @themodernfolk.bandcamp.com. Beautiful track, so well deserved!

Spoiler - IHN might have The Modern Folk record in our future. Stay tuned.

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

A complete masterpiece. I feel like the role of the humble harmonica on this album is under discussed

One of my fave quotes from @themodernfolk.bandcamp.com

MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks

Took me a minute but I love this record. Glad Bre brought it home!

Whenever I hear “the CIA funded abstract art” or whatever I’m like good, someone had to fund it

Obray Ramsey - Blue Ridge Banjo

Pretty sure I first heard this on my friend Nic’s blog GhostCapital back in the vinyl-rip-MP3 blog era. I discovered so much great music from those sources. Homespun 3-finger banjo ballads

Ramones - Rocket to Russia

The first band I was ever in, when I was about 17, we learned a bunch of early Ramones songs. These songs and Bob Dylan’s first LP are how I learned to play music

Losing count here

a man named frank (WXJM live), by the brooms from the album the man in me

I’ve been making David Lynch inspired songs since I’ve been making songs at all. This 20 year old jam was among the first

Modern Folk Band, by The Modern Folk 11 track album

More than half of these are gone! Get one!

Sons of the Pioneers - Riders in the Sky

I think my love of Sons of the Pioneers is my most conservative opinion

The Pixies - Doolittle

This record contains non-stop bangers, solidifying the pop credentials of Black Francis. This one really worked over my teenage mind

Arthur Russell - Calling Out Of Context

The funkiest works of humble genius
