The Breadwinner , the long-awaited second album from Seattle-based singer/songwriter Shannon Stephens , is - as the title would suggest - reflective of the process of growing up and the responsibilities of being an adult in the world. Coming ten years after the release of her 1999 self-titled solo debut, Stephens' new ten-song collection is a soft-spoken, beautifully realized work that takes acoustic simplicity - the basic takes were recorded in her home - to a remarkably refined level. It's easy to see the stylistic connection to her former 90's Marzuki bandmate [...]

If you're a regular reader of our site, you're probably aware of our Radio Dick portion and how it differs greatly from our regular content throughout the week. We consider it a sort of round up of sorts, covering some of the week's biggest releases. It also serves to whet our own appetite for upcoming albums we may feature in our typical long-form album reviews. While this isn't an exact science, we've found it works pretty well for us. The key problem with this weekly post is that it somewhat negates our ethos of critically evaluating all of the music [...]
Next week, Consequence of Sound will hit Chicago for this year's Lollapalooza. What we have in store is still being finalized, but rest assured you'll want to stay tuned. While we're prepping, here's another fabulously awesome edition of our Friday Mixtape. As always, below you'll find the best new mix of singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you might just want to check out. Enjoy... and feel free to say "Thanks," "Hello," or anything else that comes to mind if you see us around Grant Park next week. NEW Singles: [...]
Ik heb sinds kort digitale televisie in huis en het beluisteren van leuke nieuwe plaatjes schiet er een beetje bij in. Om die reden is het even stil geweest op Ketelmuziek. Al moet ik ook bekennen dat de inspiratie ook op laag pitje staat deze zomer. Maar er ook zoveel te ontdekken op al die zenders die via de set-top box mijn huiskamer binnenkomen. Gelukkig vielen deze week weer wat interessante releases in de bus die spannend genoeg zijn om er de TV even voor uit te zetten. Zoals het album van Shannon Stephens . Shannon speelde lang [...]

An indie-folk singer-songwriter who, at one point, fronted Sufjan Stevens former band Marzuki, Shannon Stephens released her self-titled debut album waaay back in 2000 before deciding to take a lenghty hiatus away from the music biz to enjoy some domestic bliss. Now, after re-entering the minds of undie-leaning music fans thanks to Bonnie "Prince" Billy covering her "I'll Be Glad" on last year's Lie Down In The Light , Stephens is set to make her return as a solo artist with The Breadwinner [...]
Lo dicono chiaramente ad Ashtmatic Kitty records, il nuovo album di Shannon Stephens non suona affatto casalingo, nonostante sia stato registrato in modo assolutamente privato e autonomo. Shannon torna ad arrangiare la sua musica dopo una pausa molto lunga, ex membro dei Marzuki, la band formata con Sufjan Stevens, realizza un album solista e poi si ferma per dedicarsi alla famiglia. Will Oldham nel suo recente Lie Down in the Light firmato Bonnie "Prince" Billy ha chiuso la sua raccolta di canzoni con una cover di Shannon intitolata "I'll Be Glad". Mentre attendiamo la release ufficiale di The Breadwinner [...]
Here we are with another episode of 'Ladies Night", and this looks like volume four...so you know we have worked the kinks out right?? With such posts it is difficult to segue into the post as such, being a man I often sit back, mouth agape at the intricacies of women. I dug into some quotes that might lend to a bit more understanding of why the Ladies deserve a post of their own today. I guess the fact that the below 6 songs are all great and should be on your listening list already isn't good enough? Oh well, [...]
You know what time it is....free time! Well, not literally, you may be stuck behind a desk or tethered to some other unfortunate obligation at the moment, but at least your music can be free!

EAR FARM: Free Free Free. MP3s [...]
mal wieder zeit, um sich ein wenig aus dem fenster zu hängen. ein kleines, leuchtendes album gilt es zu beweihräuchern. denn es sollte mit dem teufel zugehen, wenn es shannon stephens nicht gelingen sollte, mit ihrem zweiten album "the breadwinner" die herzen vieler fans zu erobern. seit jahren hat man so richtig nichts von ihr gehört und manchem wuchs vor lauter warten schon ein bart. die engagements, die sie so zwischenzeitlich hatte, sind gegenüber ihrem solowerk eigentlich nur ablenkung. kennen hätte man sie können, wenn man mit marzuki umherzog, einer band aus michigan, [...]
As are many independent labels, Asthmatic Kitty was brought into being to give a community of artists (in Holland, Michigan) a way to send their music further afield. Founded in 1999 it has since spread out operations to Lander, Wyoming, Indianapolis, Indiana, and New York City. Home to about 10 artists, here's a sampling of about 20 mp3s... (the asthmatic kitty roster can be found at emusic ) (and, oh yeah... pssst... you can find loads more here , just do a little searching) [...]
