A good friend with whom I exchange music tips across hemispheres pointed me in the direction of Angie McMahon before the UK release of ‘Salt’. I was won over by a song called ‘Pasta’ but the album is a much more complex listen, showcasing her remarkably emotive and gnarly vocals. Electric folk is probably the label to use, but there’s some variety here with ‘Keeping Time’ offering a scuzzy strut and the more jagged end of Mazzy Star being evoked at times. Good stuff.
Angie McMahon released a breathtaking cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs,” a piercingly beautiful song of heartbreak that started as a b-side and has since become a classic in its own right. We’ve been playing this in our set for a long time, and had a moment to record it in Nashville this year
