Kishi Bashi Returned to LA for a Joyful and Emotional Show at the Belasco
sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Steven Ward. What set this concert apart for me was Kishi Bashi’s ability to keep us grounded.

Adeline Hotel Delivers Uniquely Brilliant Americana Record with It’s Alright, Just the Same
sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. The first line of Adeline Hotel’s newest release, It’s Alright, Just the Same is a roundabout expression of devotion. “I’ve got time of yours to waste,” Daniel Knishkowy sings, “you don’t know it yet but just you wait.” The track, called “Oh Well,” is a tender ballad with a two-minute ending which I consider to be the true start … Continue reading Adeline Hotel Delivers Uniquely Brilliant Americana Record with It’s Alright, Just the Same
