Jeff Parker is following up last year's Suite for Max Brown with an album of solo guitar pieces called Forfolks, releasing December 10 on International Anthem. The album consists of eight pieces; two interpretations from the jazz repertoire (Whiting/Robin/Chase's "My Ideal" and Monk's "Ugly Beauty") and six Parker originals, including "La Jetée," a piece that he's previously recording with his bands Isotope 217 and Tortoise (under the title "Jetty"). The first single is "Suffolk" which can be streamed currently on Bandcamp and has an accompanying video if you click through:

Unbelievable that Sailor casually drops this insanity and then 12 hours later says I’d be killed in some non-US countries for my opinion about black coffee
They were one of my favorites for a long time, though I've lost track of them a bit in the last 5 years or so. Feast of Wire and (especially) Carried to Dust are among my favorite albums of the 2000's.

I have "Spiritoso" on vinyl. I think I played it once.
Washed my face in the rivers of empire Made my bed from a cardboard crate Down in the City of Quartz No news, no new regrets Tossed a Susan B. over my shoulder And prayed it would rain and rain Submerge the whole western states Call it a last fair deal With American zeal And corporate handshake
Take the story of Carpenter Mike Who dropped his tools and his keys and left And headed out as far as he could Past the cities and gated neighborhoods And he slept neath the stars Wrote down what he dreamt And he built a machine For no one to see Then took flight At first light Of new morning

'Pure Morning' was also a pretty big deal way back when. Check that shit out, Joey.
Certain albums, sometimes surprising and sometimes not, just transport you to times in the past. “Without you I’m nothing” is one of those albums for me. Any time I put it on, I’m immediately whiplashed to a very specific time in 1998. It’s fun sometimes.
easily my favourite Placebo album, and I'm looking forward to the new one
I'm just listening to the new one in full for the first time, but I've always liked Raising Sand -- I mean, it's tasteful, polite, front porch Americana-type stuff, but their two voices are a somewhat unlikely combination and blend beautifully, and the choice of material is great (they cover Tom Waits's "Trampled Rose" on the first album). Honestly it's not too far off from something like Bill Frisell's Nashville or Good Dog, Happy Man -- it doesn't showcase the same features, obviously, but it leaves a similar impression. Just tasteful, uncomplicated but authentic music made by people who are great at what they do. Marc Ribot is on both albums.
