It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024 # 137 Jon McKiel - Hex

 


Jon McKiel's Hex. Another of those fascinating leftfield independent records that a rudimentary browse through the Friday morning playlists of new releases helps you come across. 

This is a Southern playground. The occult. Saxaphone. Dr John and The Neville Brothers.Hex reminded me of Kevin Morby's fabulous Singing Saw from ten years back.

It's not an album that stands still. Plenty here to keep you coming back for further plays. Some fascinating interludes and digressions. It's a ghostly, haunting record.But not short on melody and atmosphere.
