Jill Andrews, half of Knoxville’s very own The Everybodyfields, is one of the strongest young female songwriters around. Her solo self-titled EP released in 2009 powerfully discussed love, loss, pain and anger that follows. Back again with her debut full-length The Mirror, Andrews brings along a slightly more upbeat sound, especially in the title track. Watch “The Mirror” to better understand her optimism even in a surefire situation of bad luck.
This week’s releases come with what is perhaps the most anticipated record of the summer. It’s been three years since Bon Iver brought us the beautiful For Emma, Forever Ago, and Justin Vernon once again proves to be a master of song-craft on the band’s self-titled second album. Tomorrow, we also get the feel-good records of Rubblebucket and YACHT, the genre-blurring albums of Gomez and Viva Voce, and the introspective releases of Ty Segall and Bodies of Water.
