24. LAURA STEVENSON-“WHEEL” (4/23) 

STEVENSON, LAURA - Wheel - Don Giovanni - DG 68 CD - cd - LAURA STEVENSON's new album Wheel features strings by Grammy award winning violinist ROB MOOSE (BON IVER, ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS), brass accompaniment from KELLY PRATT (BEIRUT, ARCADE FIRE, DAVID BYRNE, ST. VINCENT)  Pratt (Beirut, Arcade Fire, David Byrne and St. Vincent), and was produced and mixed by KEVIN MCMAHON   (Swans, Titus Andronicus, Frightened Rabbit, Real Estate). Laura Stevenson was born and raised on Long Island with music in her blood. Her grandfather Harry Simeone a successful composer ("Little Drummer Boy," "Do You Hear What I Hear") and her grandmother Margaret McCravy a singer for bandleader Benny Goodman. On Wheel she pours geography and heritage into the record, tackling family dynamics of dependence and support, and the feelings of isolation and insignificance that she has experienced while growing up surrounded by a vast body of water on a planet surrounded by an endlessly expanding universe. The album is also about coming to terms with these relationships and feelings, as well as her own and other's mortality. Many of the lyrics on the album explore these themes before coming back to an understanding and acceptance of our place in the world, the short time we will spend here, and the people we end up sharing it with.

18. ANNA HILLBERG-“ANNA HILLBERG” (4/9) ***The debut solo album from ANNA HILLBURG of San Francisco's power-pop darlings, DREAMDATE. A classically trained trumpet player, Anna has spent the last decade in the Bay Area garage rock scene as a songwriter, singer, drummer, and bass player. Her songs have been covered by the likes of Mates of State, and her trumpet playing has been featured on the albums of local artists such as The Dodos (Time to Die 2009), and Greg Ashley (Requiem Mass & Other Experiments 2010). After years of collaborations and lending her talents out, Anna strikes out on her own with this impressive breakout album--finding her unique voice while showcasing her talents as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. The record was recorded over the course of two years on analog tape by GREG ASHLEY (Gris Gris) at the Creamery Studios in Oakland, California, and features guest appearances by LOGAN KROEBER (The Dodos), JOE HAENER (Gris Gris), and GREG MOORE (The Moore Brothers, Joanna Newsom). Hillburg's songs are modern and fresh while also being eerily reminiscent of some of the best singer-songwriters of the classic era. She easily calls to mind the classic pop sensibilities of Harry Nillson, the romantic drama of Fleetwood Mac, the confessional lyricism of Joni Mitchell, and the effortless hooks of Paul McCartney--all without sacrificing her own strong and individual voice. The 13 song album ranges from bittersweet ballads ("Raise the Saddle", "For Good"), to dance-pop ( "Wine in a Tea Cup"), to caustic folk ("Instead") and beyond. This is a brave and straightforward collection of songs. Warm, rich, and comforting, Anna Hillburg's first solo album is poised for big things.
