Countercurrent’s 2023 album “Not So But Far Otherwise” is a testament to the pair’s broad musical vision, featuring lush arrangements of songs and tunes that represent the best of the prior three years of polished material. Critical reviews include: “The new Countercurrent album is so maddeningly good it makes me want to push over a heavy bookshelf.” (Sam Bartlett) and “One word covers the entire breadth of this recording and its artists Brian Lindsay and Alex Sturbaum: Masterful! From the percussive drive of the opening track (Master Crowley’s/Asturian Way) to the plaintive beauty of the last cut (Two Rivers), this recording has it all, delivered across several traditional genres with remarkable expertise on all instruments” (Susan Songer).

Countercurrent’s most recent album (released Sept 2023) is available at our Bandcamp store!
