One of the most promising songwriters off the Canadian soil, Andy Shauf returns these days with “Norm”, a meticulously crafted interlay of stories revolving around the central, eponymous figure. NBHAP editor Andreas sat down with the artist to talk about the record, discussing the craft of storytelling as such, and the lack of imagination that characterises present-day folk music.
This August, beloved London-based neo-soul project Jungle returned with their third full-length "Loving in Stereo". A record which makes us dream about better times and celebrate the great moments life has to offer. NBHAP author Miriam used the occasion to talk to one band member - Tom McFarland - about the new album and the current state of the beloved band in general.
