Self Truckstop Darlin'

"Throughout my late teens and early twenties, songwriting was definitely a really cheap form of therapy for me," Rebecca Lovell, the more vocal half of the Georgia-bred, Nashville-based sister duo Larkin Poe, tells Apple Music. "But touring changed our perspective in wanting to write songs that would serve as connective tissue between people—songs that sound better when they're being sung by 200 people than they sound being sung by one voice." Self Made Man, the fifth album in the band's decade-long existence, reflects not only this intentional broadening, but a perfected process. Serious-minded students of Southern and classic rock, and the blues that influenced that, Rebecca and her sibling collaborator Megan Lovell produce themselves, program propulsive, earthy beats, and lay down almost all of the sinewy, dialed-in, hand-played instrumental parts. Says Rebecca, "I am every day kind of bowled over by Megan's ability to create melodies within her solos that are so memorable and very concise."

Celebrate the arrival of this new decade with Julian Cope’s rampant new album SELF CIVIL WAR. Crammed with songs that reach deep inside you, each possessed of its own micro-worldview, SELF CIVIL WAR showcases Cope’s songwriting at its most searching since JEHOVAHKILL. Road-testing the zeitgeist with kitchen sink psycho-dramas like ‘A Dope on Drugs’, ‘Your Facebook, My Laptop’ and ‘Billy’, SELF CIVIL WAR also showcases the insightful Heroic Ballads ‘Einstein’ ‘You Will Be Mist’ and ‘The Great Raven’. In typical Cope stylee, the 13 songs of SELF CIVIL WAR brim with sound FX, enormous orchestral arrangements, timeless uprisings of Ur-folk and hefty near-Krautrock anthems. It’s the first release in Cope’s ‘Our Troubled Times’ series, and a fine temporary refuge from our daily bombardment by media luvvies and fuckhead world leaders who take us all for idiots.
