Whatever the Weather II: Loraine James talks about the alias and the album

Just as reality seems ready to blow off in a gale, Whatever the Weather II is here on Ghostly to pull you back to earth and the grace of the everyday. Loraine James – or I should say, the artist, Whatever the Weather – talks to CDM about how this full-length came to life.

Lists aside, these 2024 albums are personal must-listens

Nothing about this year was normal; next year promises the same. But that’s what music is for – to reframe moments in time.

Saying goodbye to 2024 with music and reflections: David’s picks

David Abravanel is one of the people who has shaped this site’s musical awareness over the years. In a year when we turn to music for meaning, I’m even more grateful for his annual picks. It’s an astonishing list, and makes some good listening homework for the start of the year. (Time to clean house/studio and sit back and listen!)
