ROUTES & BRANCHES

featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music

July 12, 2026

Scott Foley, purveyor of dust

There is no shortage of appealing options for this week's recommendations. At present, we're considering devoting our weekly review to William Matheny, Tracey Nelson, Houndmouth, Twisted Teens, Idle County, or this dark horse candidate, Dean Schlabowske's ambitious production about Davy Crockett's unsuccessful 1833 run for the White House. But, as we're quick to acknowledge, too much is better than not enough, and we're patiently awaiting the right album to rise organically to the top. In the meantime, we have this thing:

WHAT's SO GREAT ABOUT THiS WEEK?!! (July 10, 2026)

ROUTES & BRANCHES

featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music

July 10, 2026

Scott Foley, purveyor of dust

We hope your week has been blooming with great new music. Just in case you need some encouragement, we're here with five (5) songs that we've been enjoying over the past several days. Consider it a spoiler for the Spotify ROUTES-cast that's waiting in the wings for Sunday. We'll remind you that we consider any song that's been released as a single, rather than just any old album track. We call it

WHAT's SO GREAT ABOUT THiS WEEK?!!

Twisted Teens, "Florida Water Blues" Florida Water Blues  (Going Underground, Jul 10)

Yes, we're going here again (and there's a good chance it won't be the last time in the next couple days). Though we're still working to get our heads around what's exactly going on with Twisted Teens, the New Orleans duo of Caspian and RJ are making music that is so messed up that it's perfect. Like the band itself, the story behind their video isn't entirely clear, but we know it won't end well. 

--------------------------

Squirrel Flower, "Not Me" Say a Prayer To the Gods Of Getting Going  (Polyvinyl, Aug 21)

We don't recall Ella Williams' first couple records as Squirrel Flower being as good as the singles we've heard from her August release. Co-produced by the suddenly ubiquitous Alex Farrar, "Not Me" encourages a country lilt, albeit with a thickened electric guitar buzz like we like. 

--------------------------

Alabama Shakes, "I Feel Hope Coming" I Must Be Dreaming  (Island, Aug 28)

This week's announcement of the first Alabama Shakes project in forever fulfilled at least one of our wishes for 2026. The accompanying single is both dreamy and chewy, landing between the Shakes' more organic early stuff and Brittany Howard's bolder solo work. It's our intention to simply follow the lyric here, and Get dug in. 

--------------------------

Dogwood Tales, "Ralph Sampson" Every Star In Rockingham County  (Born Losers, Aug 28)

We expect this Virginia band's August album to be among the year's sleepers - their second collection of 2026, counting January's project with Euphoria Again. "Ralph Sampson" is a stony alt.country number with that humid southeast vibe that's inescapable nowadays: My grandmad swears her dog was a Christian / And I sleep better knowing / Delly's up in Heaven ...

--------------------------

Magic City Hippies, "Snakes" single  (MCH, 26)

You ever come across a band's name and just know what they're probably going to sound like? We're new to this Miami trio, but can vibe with this groovy, laid-back single. If we had a pool (and if the air wasn't chunky with particulate matter), we'd be soundtracking our swim with stuff like this. And we'd make sure the bass was bumped up enough to rattle the fences.

A ROUTES & BRANCHES GUiDE to FEEDiNG YOUR MONSTER (July 9, 2026)

A ROUTES & BRANCHES GUiDE to FEEDiNG YOUR MONSTER

good news about good noise

July 9, 2026

Scott Foley, purveyor of dust

A Routes & Branches Guide To Feeding Your Monster keeps you supplied with news about new and forthcoming records. Since we last gathered, we have added new stuff from Twisted Teens (see below for a link to an interview that only deepens the mystery). Ada Lea seems to be morphing into a pop artist on the end is a wave, set for an August 12 debut via Saddle Creek. Alabama Shakes (see below, too), returns with the August 28 I Must Be Dreaming. HUG marks the return of Devendra Banhart, performing with a new group. Their self-titled debut hits September 11 (Luaka Bop). Finally, Hayley Heynderickx serves as assistant producer on the debut of Biita Houdei. Expect This Bed Was Made For Me (Father/Daughter) wherever music matters on September 18.  

--------------------------

Twisted Teens' February record is one of our favorites for 2026. The garage punk 'n blues duo have already announced the follow-up, Florida Water Blues, and yet another in the wings. Paste features Caspian and RJ, two of the more curious figures in our type of music. 

--------------------------

On the eve of the release of William Matheny's Material Witness, the songwriter sits with Twangville to discuss eating tinned fish in close spaces, Trump's creepy looking kid, and finding empty Go-Gurt tubes in his touring vehicle. 

--------------------------

NME introduces us to Little Grandad, another in a continuing series of British alt.country acts. The London quartet are stirring up a buzz despite the fact that they've released only two songs to date. 

--------------------------

Is it time for another Geese story? Yes. Yes, it is. Far Out makes a case for a very early Geese project, released in 2021, prior to the band's high school graduation. 

--------------------------

Oh good! World Cafe has uploaded a live interview and performance from Max Clarke and Cut Worms. Our take here is that their songs sound even better live than on March's Transmitter LP. 

--------------------------

The release date for the first Alabama Shakes collection in over a decade has been announced (Aug 28!). Frontperson Brittany Howard gives Our Culture a few details. 

--------------------------

We've been riding the Mildred wagon since the April release of their terrific Fenceline project. The Ugly Hug share some time with the Oakland band, dropping some tea regarding shared songwriting, great $9 martinis, petting Jones the cat, and more sexy stuff. 

--------------------------

Kisser is a project that pairs Buck Meek, Germaine Dunes, Luke Temple, and more. Their first two songs have appeared on Bandcamp so far. And now they're on Routes & Branches. Kisser have earned the opening spot on Buck's solo tour. 

--------------------------

We profiled Styrofoam Winos and published an appreciation of their Any River record a few weeks ago. We don't know much about downtown_lanc_zine, but we notice they've uploaded an interview with the Winos to their Insta.

LOOKBACK MACHiNE: Old Crow Medicine Show

ROUTES & BRANCHES

featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music

July 8, 2026

Scott Foley, purveyor of dust

We've been featuring these Lookback Episodes for a couple years. As we determine the showcase artist from week to week, we do our best to highlight a diversity of artists, from early influencers and legends to more contemporary americana fixtures and our lesser known favorites. Over the years, we've selected our thirty favorites from artists like Lydia Loveless, Todd Snider, Richmond Fontaine, and so many more. 

This Episode we're calling out the artist that currently sits atop the Americana Radio Charts for both their June Union Made record and their "Last American Waltz" single with Molly Tuttle. Legend tells how Old Crow Medicine Show was discovered by Doc Watson while busking in Boone, North Carolina. Over the years the outfit has been championed by Marty Stuart and Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Of course, "Wagon Wheel" has become one of the most polarizing songs in all of our kind of music (but we'd argue it remains a great song even as it's been over-exposed thanks to Hootie's cover). 

Built largely around the writing of Ketch Secor and Critter Fuqua, members of OCMS have included Willie Watson, Gill Landry, Charlie Worsham, Mason Via, Chance McCoy, and others. While their music has become more polished since their 2001 debut, their stew of string band, old time, bluegrass, country and folk (with occasional sightings of punk) has been impressively consistent, and it largely defines the reaches of the americana genre. 

For our playlist below, we've opted primarily for OCMS originals, with some trad and some Dylan thrown in. We've also included a handful of live tracks, acknowledging the ensemble's sterling reputation as a stellar force on stage. 

OLD CROW MEDiCiNE SHOW: thirty favorites

- "Hesitation Blues" Eutaw (2001)

- "Tell It To Me" OCMS (2004)

IF YOU ONLY LiSTEN to ONE RECORD THiS WEEK:

ROUTES & BRANCHES

featuring the very best of americana, alt.country and roots music

July 7, 2026

Scott Foley, purveyor of dust

With our most recent new release date falling on the July 3rd holiday, our inbox has remained unusually empty this week. As we see it, this allows us time to draw your attention to a handful of things we've whiffed at during the first half of 2026. While we did include several of these in a ROUTES-cast or two, we feel we sorely underrepresented them, and would like to repair our mistake by doing so in this Episode. Please know that a couple of these dwell near the fringes of our kind of music, but we've always been very up-front about our commitment to filling in your musical ruts. 

IF YOU ONLY LiSTEN to ONE RECORD THiS WEEK

... or maybe nine?

We'll highlight these in order of appearance, because that's what we do here. 

- Talise, Bowling Green EP  (Run On Records, Feb 5)

We first caught wind of this banjo-wielding Canadian when she was tagged to open for Willi Carlisle on a few dates. More recently, Talise showed up on a Western AF session singing "The Road" from this February EP. We're sure glad there's an interesting story about the dead something hanging from the mic stand. Talise's voice is both reliably trad and deeply original. 

- Ovven, Gnawing At the Cord  (Ovven, Feb 6)

Nashville's Owen Burton is one-third of the band Dallas Ugly (whose 2025 album See Me Now could easily have been in a whiffed Episode for that year). On a whim, Burton phoned Drop Of Sun Studios in Asheville with three songs that producer Alex Farrar agreed to produce. Ovven's debut is thick on guitar a'la MJ Lenderman, but boasts slacker-country lyrics that are more thoughtful:  I read a lot of creative types keep it messy / Surely Jackson Pollock had some paint stains on his couch / Not to mention the stuff between his teeth / And the turpentine smell stuck in his sheets. 

- Georgia Maq, "Tropical Lush Ice" / "10 Drunk Cigarettes"  (Maq, Feb 13)

We are strong believers that you can frequently judge an artist by the company they keep on the road. Australia's Georgia Maq will join John Moreland for several dates beginning in August. The onetime front person for Camp Cope shared these singles in February, as well as a fine EP last September, God's Favourite. Maq's songs tread the adult pop side of the indie folk equation, a balance that tips rootsward in a live setting. With Ben Lee, she toured as The Two Most Annoying People You Love.

- Jackie West, Silent Century  (Ruination, Feb 27)

The songs from Jackie West's sophomore LP are subtle and smart, steadily sinking their way into our awareness rather than insisting upon access. Perhaps that's why it took us so long to fall in line. Like Rosali, songs like "Overlooking Glass" and "These Are Not Sweet Girls" are delivered in cool, torchy confidence, with organic accompaniment that won't overreach. While West's project occasionally deals in more jagged arrangements, the record typically dwells in exquisitely ethereal moments. Please stay for the ten-minute largely spoken closer, "Offer". 

- i26connector, i26 connector  (Haw Creek, Mar 11)

We're all here for the current emo Southern rock moment. That's how this proggy Asheville act labels its sound, as likely to build on gravely electric guitar as evocative strings (and possibly gutteral vocals). The work of frontguy Caelan Burris will appeal to many who pray for us to feature something heavier, louder, maybe capable of summoning the neighbors. "Spirit Manger" sounds all Fust-like until just past the two-minute mark when the mosh pit opens for business. 

- Casual Technicians, Well Once There Was a King  (Historic New Jersey, May 15)

We're told this marks the third full-length album from the Oregon outfit, which makes us wonder if we're really spending our music discovery time wisely enough. The trio embrace a wild variety of sound across this twenty-four track sampler, though most of it can be shoehorned into a lo-fi indie-folk box. But save room for Magnetic Fields-like pop ("This Manic State"), old-weird string band ("Heathen Ways") and whatever's happening on "What Is My Deal". 

- Huntress & the Holder Of Hands, Babylon  (Swain, Jun 5)

We first encountered MorganEve Swain as one-half of Brown Bird with her late husband Dave Lamb, then as a more recent member of Devil Makes Three. Under the Huntress moniker, Swain's songs check a similar gothic box as some of David Eugene Edwards' stuff with Sixteen Horsepower. The music spirals and trudges behind strings and almost tribal percussion, with the singer and her accompanists rarely far from minor key reckoning. Babylon isn't easy listening, and it won't sound great blowing from your dusty truck windows, but it's impressive in its ambition and originality. 

- Jack M Senff & Heartland Mission, Grace & Sorrow  (Skeletal Lightning, Jun 26)

Like many others, Senff came to his pop-inflected folk via a youthful dabbling in noisy diy punk. His fifth collection with Heartland Mission was tracked in the loft space of a family cottage on Mullet Lake outside Cheboygan, Michigan. And it sounds just like that, very likably understated. Senff and his cohort deploy banjo, harmonica, and a wall full of other things with strings on this set refreshingly devoid of pretense: I'll meet you for a coffee in the afternoon / Can someone borrow me a dollar. 

^ Mary In the Junkyard, Role Model Hermit  (AMF, Jul 3)

This British trio sounds like the audio version of an old weird fable retold by Edward Gorey or Maurice Sendak. There are bits on their debut LP that recall Big Thief, while others might bring Bjork to mind, owing to the wonderfully unkiltered vocals of Clari Freeman-Taylor. "Blood" and "Thou Shalt Sprout" trip along on a deep groove of percussion, while "Mouse" is a genuinely odd fever dream, this side of gorgeous. You might worry about us if we told you it's what we've been listening to more than anything else this week ...

We find music that matters even in these music-desert weeks that seemingly offer so little by way of new stuff. We're still not certain what we'll do for Tuesday's post, but we'll figure something. Prob'ly. This week brings an unexpected debut (D) from Margo Price, as well as debuts from Angela Autumn's just-announced Believer, JP Harris, Yawpers, and several more. We've also found room for a couple things we had to trim down from last week's Episode. Please set them on repeat as your soundtrack for scrubbing down the backyard grill. Or what have you.
