Led by Kiwi-brothers Aaron and Cameron Pollack, with Cameron still residing in New Zealand the band has a few recording [...]

The Pines pension for roots music is abundantly apparent on their full-length debut Sparrows in the Bell.

I’m as skeptical as anyone else when I encounter countless rave reviews of an album before I actually hear it for myself.

On first listen the impression is that Murzik is a band of East European émigrés who just discovered Leonard Cohen, possibly old men who spent years playing on cold cobbled streets outside of half full coffee houses. However, their live performances or their cover of “Mean One Mr. Grinch” on their [...]
