We bring you…. STREETSWEEPER - the fifth solo album from John Andrews & the Yawns. ❤️🏑

This warm, dreamy record explores Andrews’ time the past few years tucked away in Red Hook, Brooklyn - a neighborhood that sits just beyond the natural drift of the city. Once shaped by maritime industry and later a haven for artists in search of vast warehouse space, its history and isolation give it a quiet magnetism. Streetsweeper reflects that vantage point-tranquil, self-contained, and curious about the movements most people overlook.

Listen and enjoy<3

❤️ Coup de Coeur du Moment ❤️
John Andrews & The Yawns - Streetsweeper - Earth Libraries
Avec Streetsweeper, le discret John Andrews confirme qu’il reste l’un des artisans les plus talentueux de l’indie folk américaine actuelle. Ancien membre de Quilt, compagnon de route de @woods_family_band et collaborateur régulier de @widowspeaking , il signe ici un superbe disque d’une incroyable richesse. Derrière son apparente simplicité se cachent des arrangements d’une finesse incroyable : claviers feutrés, harmonies lumineuses, textures analogiques et mélodies qui semblent flotter naturellement. Un disque doux, humble et minutieusement construit.

Sun Ra: Do the Impossible – go see it!

The film will be screening at both @sidewalkfilm in Birmingham, Alabama (May 20) as well as @icalondon in the UK (May 21) – and is also available on @PBSAmericanMasters.

Director @christineturner of @firelightfilms did a fantastic job telling Ra’s story, prioritizing mystery and music over a dry, standard biography….As Ra is anything but.

Filled with archival footage – much which has never been seen or heard before – it takes us all through a glorious, vibrant journey of Sun Ra and the Arkestra.

Veryl Oakland’s photos are also featured throughout, from his time with Ra in NYC and at the now historic-home in Germantown PA.
