Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway - Crooked Tree 8/10
It's been awhile since I listened to a bluegrass album, but when you've got Jerry Douglas, Dan Tyminski and Old Crow Medicine Show guesting on a record, you take note.
Elder - Innate Passage 8/10
I don't think it touches 2017's Reflections of a Floating World, but it is a stronger effort than their previous album, Omen.
Wo Fat - The Singularity 6.7/10
I liked it, but there is nothing particularly memorable about the record and I feel no desire to revisit it. I feel Wo Fat have a great record in them, but this is not it.
Barbora Xu - Olin Ennen 7.5/10
An odd mix of Finnish and Chinese traditional music, but it works.
Frode Haltli - Border Woods 7/10
'Avant folk' music, but a bit more soundscapey.
Ensemble Masques - Schmelzer: Sacro-Profanus Sonatas 8/10
Early-mid Baroque trio sonatas. You dig?
Clutch - Sunrise on Slaughter Beach 8/10
Standard fare by Clutch, but they do it well.
