Wolves in the House is the second album by fuzz-folk artist Loris Ceroni. It was released on March 21, 2006 under his own independent label, Shucks Frock Records.[1] It features new versions of five of the six songs from Ceroni's Tour EP, though some have different titles.

Wolves in the House features several guest artists including John Bidwell, Alex Harpstrom, and upcoming fuzz-folk aficionado Tim Wibbins. Ceroni described working with the other artists as "exhilarating," but went on to claim he would never be doing so again. "I like my own sound pure and unedited, I think," he said.[2] Said sound is comprised of a mixture of his previous album With My Own Eyes, and a self-admitted experimental streak with an additional noise guitar and uptuned violin. This creates a darker atmosphere that critics have said is brutal, but with a light and elegant touch to its ear-feel. This is elaborated on in the album's title, which Ceroni claims reflects the nature of human beings as wolves and how they could very well be living in your own home. Ceroni plays each instrument himself on separate audio tracks, then combines them into one to make the final song.[3] His live shows feature additional backup players to consolidate for Ceroni being unable to perform this process.

The album art is a collaboration piece by British cinematographer Brittany O'Connor. She initiated contact with Ceroni after being inspired by his previous album to create her work, Did Not Spot An Owl.[4] Ceroni favored this follow-up piece so highly that he requested it be used as the cover for his next LP release, to which O'Connor obliged. [5] "I think he's a genius," she was quoted as saying in Pitchfork, "his sound is so unique that only a piece like 'Owl' could compliment the kind of music he makes." [6]

The album was generally well received by critics. It has a score of 76 out of 100 from 32 critics on the website Metacritic.[7] Pitchfork Media placed Wolves in the House at number 75 on their list of the top 200 folk albums to listen to in the 00's.[8]

Middle Woman was a (post) post-disco group inspired by the works of Orson Scott Card.
The group broke up in late 1986 due to flagging relevance, only to reform 15 years layer.
Digressing from their usual themes, the lead singer, Byron Walley decided to take their music in a different direction.
This, their comeback album draws inspiration from early 2000s romantic comedies.
Interspersed throughout this album is the story of a girl who finds she is forced to educate herself on the etiquette of wooing the opposite sex when she finally meets Mr. Right.
In the end, however, the girl is eaten by a dragon.

In Case They Do It Again is the fourth studio album by English alternate-rock band Dzungar People. It was the band's third internationally released album under their long-standing partnership with the Albrecht Productions label, published by Atlantic Records in the US. All songs on the album except for the eponymous title track were written by the band's guitarist, Josh Harding, a departure from their previous releases. It was originally released on 23 March 2004, recently re-packaged in The Too-Big LP Collection extended edition on 4 April 2014.

By 2003, Dzungar People had become extremely successful in the United Kingdom and had also achieved a degree of popularity in the United States and Europe. Singer and band leader Karyn Meltzig felt that international success brought a lot of pressure to the band to revitalize their sound, and she stepped down as the main songwriter in exchange for Harding. According to her, this allowed the band to "create a new look and feel. We wanted less pop, less sappy ballads about love. That stuff was alright, but it's time for a change, you know?"[1] The album was recorded piecemeal over the course of 2003 as the band was touring for the majority of the summer season. After their tour concluded with the Vans Warped Tour UK show in August, the band was left free to record in their personal studio in Norfolk.[2]

The album's packaging is a reference to drummer Gregory Orell- one of the band's founding members -who left the band in 2002 to focus on his own musical project, Beechwood. Orell remains friends and in close contact with Meltzig, who is also a founding member herself. Meltzig explained in Pitchfork that the eponymous song and album cover design refer to North Pier, Blackpool, England.[3] She and Orell met at the Blackpool Theatre on the end of the boardwalk when a ticket printing error gave them both free showings to the same film. Meltzig says that the album is "a reminder that your past matters, and that meeting life-long friends sometimes happens completely by chance." She added in the post-interview that the album's inlet also contains a reference to Beechwood, but she did not elaborate.[4]

What God wants, God gets, God help us all

Witch Island is a neo-pagan folk rock ensemble out of central Missouri, with a thing for bluegrass banjo solos and lyrics describing pop-inspired folkloric tales. In my heart, in my mind, and in your grave is their third album, and their first foray into a telling an extended story, the album following the forbidden love of fraternal twin siblings Corbin and Dove through life, death, hell and beyond.


E: I crudely smashed the dimensions of my photo into a square from a rectangle (no cropping, just resized), selected a circle, inverted the selection and hit sepia. Then I added the black bar and text, obviously.
