Indie-folk singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer Josienne Clarke is often said to draw on traditional British folk inspirations, but is a thoroughly modern, multifaceted artist who follows her own compass. Clarke’s rare authenticity — really the main unifying thread running through her career — is something to admire: She is an artist singularly unafraid to express herself via her art and is naturally armed with all the verve and ability to do so. Her new album Onliness (songs of solitude &amp; singularity) is out April 14 via Corduroy Punk Records.

A lot has changed for everyone in the past few years, and especially for Jimmy Whispers. In another lifetime, he was that sweet kid from Chicago who stole our hearts with his aw-shucks Midwestern attitude and his knack for writing catchy old-time melodies, who legendary critic Jessica Hopper once called the city’s “greatest new homegrown musical enigma,” who turned a mixtape of iPhone voice memos (Summer in Pain) into a profound racket and covered the city in cryptic anti-police street art and zines.
As for today, Jimmy Whispers is alive and well in Los Angeles. He’s still making music — quite a lot of it. He’s got a blossoming new career as a music video director and filmmaker. He’s become a co-writer for others including Drugdealer and Dent May. He’s got a side hustle as a valet parking attendant, a 1988 Buick Reatta, and a new commitment to making life-affirming art.
His latest record, The Search For God, is out June 9, 2023 on Carpark Records.
