Connor Donohue - “Conor Donohue’s upcoming album, Stray Dogs (10/11), is a testament to his evolution as an artist. It blends gritty charm with poetic introspection in a way that defies genre constraints. The album’s sound is as diverse as New Orleans itself, with Donohue noting, “Someone recently called this record genreless, and it’s true. We served each song individually for what they needed, and somehow, the whole record still sounds cohesive.” This approach has resulted in a collection that’s as varied and vibrant as the Crescent city itself.“

John Krautner - “With a big ten year gap since his last release, Detroit garage rock legend John Krautner (The Go, Conspiracy of Owls) returned in 2025 with Cinnamon Lake, a collection of 15 trippy psych pop tracks crafted in the vintage style. Whereas Krautner focused heavily on power pop for his previous release, Fun With Gum Vol. 1 (is there ever going to be a Vol. 2?), Cinnamon Lake hones in on the acid damaged psych folk of the late 60s/early 70s and channels such fractured legends of the time as Skip Spence, Lee Hazlewood, and Harry Nilsson. There’s a real intimacy here that feels personal, almost private even, while at the same time projecting an overall sense of positivity, even though Krautner’s weathered vocals suggest that he’s been through the wringer and is back to tell the tale. Perhaps that is where the positivity comes from – reflecting upon a life of rock n roll that he’s gladly able to continue to create within. No matter what, this is the kind of recording that sticks its hooks in deeper upon every listen – from the sense of melody to the natural and organic sounds of the recording. Nothing feels forced or emulated. This is a true artist, redefining their mission for a new stage in life.” -offshelf.net
