New Music | Field Report – Taking Alcatraz

Field Report – Taking Alcatraz The third track to release, I’d say you might want to note Field Report at this point.   With an affiliation with Bon Iver (he played pedal steel in Justin Vernon’s old band DeYarmond Edison) we can expect this project to have legs.  Even without the affiliation I expect Field Report to fully catch on. The music is absolutely gorgeous, with tender plucking, waves of instrumentation and a lyrical parable about taking chances and facing fears, “Taking Alcatraz” takes note of Native American activist Richard Oakes and his occupation of Alcatraz Island. Expect Field Report’s…

Live Review | The Lumineers at Cafe 939

The Lumineers – Ho Hey If you still don’t know who the Lumineers are, let me catch you up. HO! A few years back, lead singer Wesley, and friend Jeremiah abandoned New York City and headed west, settling in Denver. HEY! They took out a Craigslist Ad and met Cellist Neyla and formed The Lumineers. HO! Their sound is the perfect incarnation of stomp-and-clap folk that has become popular over the past few years from bands like Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers and The Head and The Heart. HEY! I dare you to watch this video and not sing,…

New Music | Mornin’ Old Sport – Katie

Mornin Old Sport – Katie Mornin’ Old Sport is a group consisting of Berklee College of Music alums Kate Smeal (vocals, strings), Scott Nanos (guitar, bass, keys, strings), and Jeff Price (drums, production engineering) who started their band here in a Boston basement.  Pulling their name from F.Scott Fitzgerald’s the Great Gatsby, you get the sense they enjoy literature, and possibly history.  Then you listen to their music. Those vintage sounds spill over on their track “Katie,” which sounds like it was pulled off a recording from about 80 years ago.  A time in America’s history that came before the…

Video | Casey Black – Little Bit Lonely

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw2EzEMSTjU[/youtube] I’m happy to get to premiere the video for Casey Black’s “Little Bit Lonely.” ?Casey Black is the Nashville-born, son of  songwriter, Charlie Black.  The single, “Little Bit Lonely,” appears on his latest record, It Shapes Me As It Goes, on Nonexistent Records. The video features a protagonist (Casey) who is sending a message in a bottle.  When he tosses the bottle into the ocean and returns home again and again he receives his bottle back on his stoop.  In an act of defiance he throws the bottle back in and waits to find out who’s sending his messages back.  Its an…

Video | Glen Hansard – Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgG2rljJqH4[/youtube] Glen Hansard’s highly anticipated new record Rhythm and Repose may be a couple of months away, but we are getting a taste of his track “Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting,” a song that to me feels very Van Morrison-like.  It’s carefree & summery and a breath of fresh air.  Pick up the single on iTunes now.  We’ll see Rhythm and Repose in June.

Live Review | Reptar, Quiet Hooves and Dirty Dishes at the Great Scott

photo credit: David McClister Reptar – Orifice Origami The Athens, GA based foursome Reptar has been described as a ‘synth-based pop’, ‘electro funk,’ and ‘experimental dance’ band. But none of these seem to do the band’s sound justice. In live festival performances, the band throws tamborines across the stage and band members dance in short jean shorts and full-body spandex suits. Their music videos feature talking lips, lazer beams and varieties of fruit. But the one element that comes through whether you’re seeing the band at a festival, watching a music video on YouTube, or catching a small live show,…

Review | Horse Feathers – Cynic’s New Year

Horse Feathers – Where I’ll Be Portland, Oregon based folk outfit Horse Feathers released their fourth studio album today, Cynic’s New Year. The quintet has always had all of the pieces to make up a great folk group. The combination of fiddles, banjo and strings with lead singer Justin Ringle’s rough but soothing voice have always made Horse Feathers’ sound distinct.

Jonah Tolchin – Criminal Man

Jonah Tolchin – Criminal Man I’ve been listening quite a bit to a musician by the name of Jonah Tolchin, a 19 year old kid that sings songs that are at times quite dazzling. I mention his age because you just won’t guess it. He sings with the soul of a man 3 times his age. Part of the allure comes from his rather deep voice, its a bit grizzly, rough and almost whiskey soaked. I’m sharing his fantastic track “Criminal Man,” the title track from his album. The sorrowful, raspy vocals layered upon a minimalistic plucking of his guitar…
