Edith Frost Announces First New Album In 20 Years
Singer-songwriter Edith Frost, an underrated Drag City great, has not released an album since 2005’s It’s A Game. That will change in February when she returns with new album In Space. Though now based in Austin, Frost turned to a crack team of musicians from her former home base of Chicago to bring the album to life, including arrangements from Drag City co-founder Rian Murphy and Wilco Loft manager Mark Greenberg, plus contributions from Jim Becker (Califone, Air Blue Gowns), Sima Cunningham (Finom), Bill MacKay, and Jeff Ragsdale. Lead single “Hold On” taps back into the countrified psychedelia that made Frost an underground legend in the first place. Check out Simon Russell’s video for the track below.
The Farm Announce First New Album In Over 30 Years
Get back on, get back on, get back on! My groovy train! The Farm are from Liverpool, not Manchester, but they still played a key role in the Madchester story of the late ’80s and early ’90s. The Farm figured out their dance-rock style around the same time that the Happy Mondays landed on their own. The Farm took a little longer to drop their debut album, but that album, 1991’s Spartacus, was a #1 hit in the UK, and it sent a couple of singles into the top 10. “All Together Now” actually went top-10 twice — when it first came out, and when it was re-released to cheer on the English national team in the Euro 2004 tournament. The Farm have a place in history, but they haven’t released an album since 1994’s Hullabaloo. That’s about to change.
