Jack White, The Thrills, Beth Gibbons

Never Far Away

White Stripes frontman Jack White tries his hand at traditional country with an original tune from the Cold Mountain soundtrack.

AM/PM Relief

The sound on this Austin, Texas band's debut album changes from song to song, but their love of Radiohead and Led Zeppelin is easy to hear.

Mysteries

Known for her beautifully dreary voice as the lead singer for British trip hop band Portishead, Beth Gibbons here joins former Talk Talk bassist Rustin Man for her debut solo release.

The Hour Before Dawn

Performing multi-layered Celtic music on traditional Irish instruments, Kila formed in Dublin in 1987.

Tunula Eno

Originally from Uganda, Samite lost a brother under the dictatorship of Idi Amin, endured a prolonged exile from his homeland and lost his wife to cancer. This album is a tribute to her.

Santa Cruz (You're Not That Far)

The Thrills are from Dublin and have a distinctly Irish sound with a California sensibility.
