Buxton
Buxton – Boy Of Nine Houston seems to be a hotbed for talent these days, and Buxton is one that has caught my ear with their eccentrically lush harmonies pounding rhythm & prickly banjo plucking. Its a newgrass sound that is reminding me of quite a bit like Joe Strummer’s
Nada Surf
Nada Surf – Waiting For Something Dropping very soon, Nada Surf is releasing a second single off their upcoming album, The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy is out 1/24 on Barsuk. The single in question is “Waiting For Something,” which feels quite like vintage Nada Surf, a sterling, sparkling, powerpop
Peasant
Damien DeRose, the talented singer and songwriter behind Peasant, is about to release his third album, Bound for Glory, on 4/17. The first taste we’re getting is new track “The Flask,” which feels a bit Elliott Smith with its whispy vocals that seem to float along with the
kingsley flood
Kingsley Flood – Black Boots Kingsley Flood – I Don’t Wanna Go Home Our friends Kingsley Flood released their Colder Still EP yesterday, one that has been on regular replay here in my library and for good reason. Colder Still is a 6 song EP that ramps up the energy and
Justin Townes Earle
Justin Townes Earle – Nothing’s Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now What can I say about this guy that hasn’t already been said ad nauseum. Happily, I received word that he’d be releasing another album, and over the weekend, I think everyone had the opportunity
The Wooden Sky
Check out the new track from the Wooden Sky, the Toronto band that seems to be catching a wave of buzz lately. They are working on releasing their third album, Every Child a Daughter, Every Moon a Sun, on Blackbox Recordings. The country tinged song sings of loneliness, with a
Coyote Kolb
“Albedo” is a new track from Boston’s Coyote Kolb off their upcoming 2nd album United State, our 1/28. Albedo follows the dusty boots, dirty blues rock style that made me enjoy their previous effort Massachusett so much. We in town can look forward to the cd release party
Spirit Family Reunion
Spirit Family Reunion – When My Name Is Spoken Upon the near incessant applaud from my friend Steve I plugged in the Spirit Family Reunion’s self-titled EP. The Brooklyn band, who certainly doesn’t sound like a Brooklyn band, reeks of bucolic, countryside bluegrass music. Fiddles are played, banjos are
Youth Lagoon

Harriet

A Lull

Yukon Blonde
Yukon Blonde – Choices I really dig what Yukon Blonde is doing with their music. Its a west coast vibe, but with a cool Canadian breeze blowing over it. The cool harmonies, and chilled out solo on this track really tie well together. The Vancouver-based Yukon Blonde had debuted this track
