ANAMAI, Sallows (Buzz Records)
Beans On Toast, The Grand Scheme of Things (Xtra Mile Recordings)
With a thick British brogue that is utterly charming and big brass bumpin folk sounds, UK troubadour Beans on Toast (the pseudonym of Jay McAllister) hits the Xtra Mile roster with Frank Turner and Against Me!, among others. This is his sixth full-length. "New Orleans Honeymoon" finds him waxing on an upcoming honeymoon with longtime muse Lizzy Bee. Video for the song below.

Matthew E. White, Fresh Blood (Domino)
The soulful Spacebomb Records founder and Virginia-based singer-songwriter delivers a sophomore full-length, and plays The Late Show with David Letterman on March 16. Peep the video for fast-rambling first single "Rock & Roll Is Cold" below. According to white, the video "was about highlighting and making use of pre-existing beauty and grandeur. The images I wanted were John Ford's America - part Badlands, part Bonnie and Clyde ... To that end, I used a team in Salt Lake City known much more for shooting spectacular outdoor shots than any music videos. That was really fresh for me, not to mention extraordinarily physically challenging at times - but these guys are world traveling, mountain climbing pros and brought out the tremendous beauty of the landscape we shot in."
