Spotlight Artist: Andrew Cedermark

Former guitarist of Titus Andronicus (who released quite a good record earlier this year), Andrew Cedermark has just released his rather fabulous debut solo release Moon Deluxe. Its lo-fi but lush sound, aided by Cedermark's rich guitar work, will sit well with fans of Real Estate, but Moon Deluxe also has an organic intimacy to it which recalls Phil Elverum's Microphones project (indeed the title track both sounds and reads like it could have originated from The Glow Pt. 2). Some of his old band's ragged bar-room antics are still in evidence though, on the likes of Your Dream Is Killing Me, and the rambunctious closer I Won't Know Me Anymore.

Moon Deluxe, released on Underwater Peoples, is one of the year's most rousing records. You can listen to Anchorite on the Hear The Secret player.
