Nolatet: No Revenge Necessary
by Doug Collette
The music of Nolatet's sophomore album No Revenge Necessary belies its laissez faire title. Almost a mirror image of its largely insinuating predecessor, Dogs (Royal Potato Family, 2016), this sophomore effort finds the Crescent city-based ensemble flexing its collective muscles early and often, so the record lends itself to uninhibited dance almost as often as contemplation ...
Stanton Moore: With You In Mind
by Doug Collette
The title of Stanton Moore's homage to Allen Toussaint suggests the affection at the heart of this project.

by Doug Collette

Mike Dillon: Band of Outsiders
by Dave Wayne
There are so many different ways to rebel in life, and Mike Dillon has done them all. Or so it seems, if the music on Band of Outsiders is any indication. Dillon is that rare musician who can take tropes from any number of disparate musical worlds-metal and Brazilian samba school for example-mash them together and ...
Stanton Moore Goes Indie
