As we head into a brief summer publication break to enjoy the summer sun for a few days, it's the perfect time to take stock of the year in music so far. PopMatters returns to our normal publishing schedule on Monday, 8 July.
Cass McCombs' Tip of the Sphere is as intricate as any of his work before it. Regardless of his approach and whether or not he intends to share much of it with the public, it's clearly one that works for him and his fans.
Cass McCombs has just released a trippy video for “Big Wheel”, the title tune from his 2013 effort Big Wheel and Others, which released last August via Domino. McCombs’ upcoming world tour takes him through Europe and Australia.
