Each and every year, there are records which slip through the cracks, that individuals who write for the site absolutely adore, yet few others seem to even be aware of. To help highlight a few lost records, a few years ago we invented the Lost List, and ask individuals to write some words explaining why they love the album in question. Next up, Jon Falcone recommends a new project from the chaps once members of hardcore heroes The Promise Ring and CapnJazz... »

Performing in Misty’s Big Adventure must be a liberating experience, a twist of prog, jazz and lounge and northern soul with no ulterior motives beyond writing oddly uplifting songs.»
