Plunkett and company's emotional and musical growth is very clearly evident on this record that possesses a sense of beauty in the dark moments that most may miss. There's still a bit of a cool distance to work through but there's an underlying warmth here that is fully engrossing and quite honestly moving.
Brooklyn micro label Minikin, have released their first compilation: Afterthoughts; a lovely 14-track record for which the proceeds go to Brooklyn music education platform We Make Noise. Minikin, formed in 2015, have brought together scene stalwarts Bethlehem Steel, Vagabon, Long Beard, gobbinjr, Half Waif, among others, and the result is a lovely, meandering set of songs that fit well together without being overly similar.
