Going to try and get back into posting new songs and not JUST Recommended Albums. Goodness gracious. A good reason to do that is for new MAYBEL, a great four-piece folk group from Montreal, whose 2020 debut album Gathering provided me and my partner a lot of peace upon its release.

Their new album, Gloam, arrives October 27th via blog favorite idée fixe records. The first taste is an extremely promising one; a boost in fidelity benefits the band greatly, and they sound more in sync than before, with their three-part vocal harmonies and tender instrumentation. There’s even a sliding, echoing, jangling guitar solo at the end. This thing rocks. Count me in. Stream their new song “Long Road Ahead” below + check out their Bandcamp page to pre-order the record.
