Joseph Allred- Old Time Fantasias

Joseph Allred’s new record Old Time Fantasias is a bullseye strike of traditional tunes given a modern oomph, with Magic Tuber Stringband even sitting in to add extra layers of rustic charm. Allred, whose typical modus operandi thrives in the leftfield Appalachian stringband sandbox, now ventures as far out as Cocteau Twins–level dream pop realms, yet at its core, the album retains that twangy, earthy substrate that grounds the whole listening journey.
