Israeli Folk Group HaBanot Nechama is Ready to Comfort America Nextnew
HaBanot Nechama's soulful, acoustic songs revel in femininity. Layers of lush vocals, in a fluently shifting mix of English and Hebrew, dance over lurching reggae rhythms and finger-snapping folk. These ladies are feisty — maybe a little gypsy in spirit — but they also seem sweet.

Five years after the last Preston School of Industry album was released, Scott Kannberg is ready to present his fans with an album full of material that sounds nothing like his previous bands' output. He's back to being Spiral Stairs, but this time, there's not as much to joke about.
