Introducing…Bradley Wik & The Charlatans

 

Bradley Wik has settled neither here nor there; he’s been traveling all over the continental United States for the past few years, guitar in hand playing whenever and wherever anyone would let him. In Bradley Wik & the Charlatans debut album, Burn What You Can, Bury the Rest… he brings you the tales from his travels, and introduces you to some of the people he met along the way.

Bradley doesn’t shy away from his rural roots. He brings an Alt. Country feel to several of his songs. Burn What You Can, Bury the Rest… is a royal mix of roaring guitars over rolling organs and pounding drums, satisfied by Bradley’s raw vocals and a few guest appearances. Think Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Uncle Tupelo (but less raw), early Wilco or Richmond Fontaine and you’ll not be far off.

Beneath Wind and Waves is Portland-based singer/songwriter Shawn Lawson Freeman recording with Jim Walker.
Recently released long-player Non-etre is a cunningly crafted, mindfully performed, extended moment of clarity in the face of the unknown. Dark love, missed chances, inner silences, and joyful trials are delicately delineated in its shrewdly scribed lyrics, delivered with Freeman’s sweetly pleasuring vocals upon a classy bed of acoustic and electronic instrumentation.
Most of Non-etre sounds like floating out on a wave, where you’re never sure what you might hear or have to think about next – a wash of light noise or the grace of dusky beach nights. Try for yourself with the delightfully seductive Loop Me In
