For more than two decades, The Builders and The Butchers have carried a kind of beautifully worn-in urgency – music that feels stitched together from late nights, long roads, and an unshakable need to connect. At the center is Ryan Sollee, whose gravel-edged delivery & restless songwriting continue to anchor a band that’s never sounded overly polished, but always purposeful.

Sollee has called their longevity “an unexpected privilege,” & that sentiment lingers throughout No Tomorrow. Rather than leaning on nostalgia, the record pushes forward, shaped by a world that feels increasingly fractured. It wrestles with the slow erosion of human connection, the ongoing denial of environmental collapse, and the hollow churn of greed-driven leadership.

Still, No Tomorrow refuses to sink under that weight. If anything, it pushes back.

The Builders and The Butchers have long thrived in the space between chaos & catharsis. Sounding equal parts folk revival & back-alley sermon – No Tomorrow is raw with an unvarnished edge.. Where earlier work might have unraveled in a blaze, these songs hold their ground, letting tension build & release. The result is a collection that feels more intentional without sacrificing the band’s grit.

What resonates most is the insistence on joy – not as escape, but as resistance. Creation itself becomes a means of restoring something essential, a way to push back against a culture that often feels intent on stripping that away. That philosophy carries through No Tomorrow.. No Tomorrow leans into endurance, into the quiet power of continuing to make something honest in uncertain times.

The Builders And The Butchers have delivered one of those records in No Tomorrow that bring the masses together. It stretches & blurs genre lines, landing somewhere between Rock ‘n Roll and Americana – with an occasional edge that could even grab the metal heads.

“STREETSWEEPER“

John Andrews & The Yawns… aptly named and comfortably unhurried; return with STREETSWEEPER. From beginning to end Andrews and company lean into a casual and comfortable nest – delivering a collection of infectious licks, warm melodies, and finely layered details that patiently reveal themselves, rewarding whatever kind of listening you wish to bring to the party..

Previewing Andrews’ fifth album as rain traced slow lines down the window, it felt like the record met the moment perfectly – unintrusive yet deeply present. But that’s the quiet magic of STREETSWEEPER: it doesn’t belong to any one setting. Swap the grey skies for a sunlit afternoon in the park, stretched out on a blanket with puffy white clouds drifting overhead, and again, it’s the ideal soundscape. The record is transportive without actually trying to take you anywhere.

Set for release tomorrow – April 3, 2026 via Earth Libraries, the album was recorded at Luke Temple’s Los Angeles studio. Backed by a trusted cast – including contributions from the Cut Worms rhythm section, Noah Bond and Keven Louis Lareau.. there’s an easy chemistry at play, the kind that comes naturally with years of playing together.
Interestingly, the entirety of STREETSWEEPER was recorded with the personal guitar pick of the late troubadour Jerry Jeff Walker, a keepsake Lareau received from a family friend.

Produced by Temple, STREETSWEEPER leans into a bright, optimistic palette while staying rooted in Andrews’ signature DIY spirit. The tempos rarely rush, but they never stall either – instead settling into that sweet, elusive pocket where everything feels light, steady, and alive.

There’s something increasingly rare about a record like this – one that doesn’t demand attention so much as earn it over time. STREETSWEEPER isn’t here to overwhelm; it’s here to exist alongside you, to soundtrack the in-between moments.
And in doing so, it becomes exactly the kind of album you find yourself returning to without thinking twice. @meanwhile_in_music …

“All Dressed Up“

Leah Blevins finally delivers her long-anticipated sophomore album All Dressed Up – arriving five years after her debut. Raised in the hills of eastern Kentucky, Blevins carries that Appalachian spirit with her, but here it’s refracted through something fuller, deeper, and far more expansive.

Recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studios with producer Dan Auerbach, the album leans into contrast. Auerbach is best known for his work with The Black Keys – and he colors the record with textures that feel second nature to him: baritone guitars, Mellotron haze, a thumping bass.. with a warm analog glow. Introduced by mutual friend Marcus King, the collaboration clicked instantly and the chemistry shows. All Dressed Up feels intuitive, and at times, quietly electric.

At its core, the album leans country – but that label only grazes the surface. Blevins’ honeyed Southern voice carries hints of Dolly Parton, yet the record itself drifts around a sepia-toned soundscape reminiscent of the 1970s. You can hear echoes of Fleetwood Mac blending into the laid-back ease of the Eagles, while even brushing up against something more off-center like The Zombies – especially on the opening title track. At moments, it plays like a rediscovered pop record from that era, dressed in country fabric but threaded with rock and soul.

Blevins’ voice is steady, intentional, and emotionally articulate – it moves with direction. As she’s expressed, that evolution isn’t just technical; it’s personal, weathered, and fully formed.

This is an album grounded in reckoning. Faith, love, addiction, self-worth, healing – Blevins explores each with utter honesty, never veering into judgment. There’s empathy in the songwriting, precision in the delivery, and a quiet resilience throughout..

Leah Blevins doesn’t just move forward with All Dressed Up, she has planted her flag.

“Mud Blood Bone“

Cat Clyde returns with her fourth record, Mud Blood Bone, released March 13 on Concord Records – and it feels like both a departure and a homecoming. Rooted in the early influence of Robert Johnson and Lead Belly, whom she discovered at the young age of thirteen, Clyde leans deeper into those foundations while widening her sonic reach.

Across eleven tracks, Mud Blood Bone finds Clyde at her most assured lyrically. There’s a quiet confidence in her writing that doesn’t need to shout to be felt. The arrangements drift between folk, Americana, and blues – even punk.. carried by soulful guitar tones and Clyde’s unmistakable voice. Yet beneath that grit lies an unmistakable warmth – an intimacy that mirrors Clyde’s spirit and draws the listener in close.

What sets Clyde apart is her versatility. She moves between styles without ever sounding like she’s trying them on; instead, she inhabits them fully. Whether leaning into dusty blues phrasing or more delicate, indie-tinged moments, her voice remains the anchor – rich, weathered, and timeless. It’s the kind of voice that suggests history far beyond her years, reinforcing the sense that she’s less a revivalist and more a continuation of something enduring.

There’s also a palpable emotional shift driving the record. Written in the aftermath of a long-term relationship, Mud Blood Bone carries the weight of the change.. These songs emerge from a period where love felt absent altogether, yet instead of resignation, there’s a quiet resilience.

That tension – between longing and liberation – gives the album its pulse. Clyde doesn’t overstate her revelations; she lets them unfold, often through lyrical turns and vocal inflections. The result is a record that feels deeply personal without becoming insular.

Ultimately, Mud Blood Bone reinforces what’s long been clear: Cat Clyde is the real thing. An old soul with an even older voice, she continues to carve out a space that feels both timeless and entirely her own.
