Chris from Appleseed Cast delivers the good with the live set and on the album Early Morning Hymns. Saxon Shore are finishing up The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore and readying a re-issue of their Be A Bright Blue debut. More on release dates once they’re known. Sufjan Stevens is playing at the Philadelphia Ethical Society this Thursday and is on tour, be sure to see him and…
