Pressing Concerns: BRNDA, Canandaigua, Pile, Chet Wasted
It’s been about a month since we talked about some new records here on Pressing Concerns, so it’s nice to be back in the saddle, so to speak: today, I’m discussing new albums from BRNDA and Chet Wasted, the new Canandaigua EP, and a new record of re-recorded older songs from Pile.

‘Couples in Trouble’ by Robbie Fulks at 20
Calling Couples in Trouble a “left-turn” in the career of Robbie Fulks would be accurate, but not particularly useful, as his entire discography is comprised of left-turns. One can make a few connections—the irreverently reverent country of 1996’s Country Love Songs got a sequel in the following year’s South Mouth, and the sparse, traditional bluegrass-folkContinue reading “‘Couples in Trouble’ by Robbie Fulks at 20”
New Playlist: July 2021

New Playlist: June 2021
The Rosy Overdrive Monthly Revue is back, with a (somewhat belated) rundown of songs old and (mostly) new that I thoroughly enjoyed in June! Even by the standards of these typically-unwieldy monthly playlist posts, this one feels extra long-winded to me. I took a week off to enjoy life and whatnot, and I had allContinue reading “New Playlist: June 2021”
