Light In The Attic US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Karen Dalton was an American folk singer linked to the Greenwich Village set in the 60s. She might not have received the widespread recognition of some of her peers, but she left a mark for those who know with the spectacular In My Own Time. Her cracked mid-range vocal delivery was a vital part of her charm, floating somewhere between tender and tough, and backed up with an appropriately stirring yet gritty ensemble of electric guitar, winsome violin and shaky organ. Toasting 50 years since its original release, Light In The Attic present the album in all its glory - a dusky, hard-bitten slice of downhome country blues from a staggering talent.

Review: Even the Forest Hums: Ukrainian Sonic Archives 1971-1996 is an extraordinary collection from Light in the Attic Records, releasing the diverse musical evolution of Ukraine during pivotal decades. Spanning genres like folk, rock, jazz and electronic, this compilation highlights Ukraine's rich sonic history, from the Soviet era through to independence. With tracks reflecting resilience and cultural preservation, the album provides an insightful lens into the country's underground scenes, including must-hear contributions from artists like Kobza, Vodohrai, and Cukor Bila Smert'. Accompanied by detailed liner notes from Vitalii Bardetskyi, with the CD features bonus material in a deluxe, hard-back book sleeve.
