Creep On Creepin On Black Water Timber Timbre’s 4th studio album ‘Creep On Creepin On’ was hinted at months ago in a creepy intro video that really left me wondering what on earth it was going to be. Then when I heard first single ‘Black Water,’ I started to
The Longwalls
Careers in Science Back in March, boston based americana band The Longwalls released ‘Careers in Science’ digitally on Static Motor Recordings. The album is a warm representation of 90’s post pop, that is straightforward and always fun. Careers in Science is a short LP (just 8 songs) that will
Jeremy Messersmith
Dillinger Eyes Violet I received a copy of Jeremy Messersmith’s Reluctant Graveyard at the end of last year. Through all the madness that is ‘end of the year’ lists I didn’t get a real chance to express how much I really loved The Reluctant Graveyard. I missed out
Static of the Gods
Lake Effect Boston three piece indie rock outfit Static of the Gods released to me ‘Lake Effect,’ a new track off an upcoming and yet to be named EP. Lake Effect is a melodic slow burner that builds and builds and nearly erupts. Highly recommend checking these guys (and lady)
AgesandAges
No Nostalgia Out on tour now AgesandAges released another track entitled ‘No Nostalgia.’ The warm guitar riffs and gang choir vocals give it a ‘kumbuyah’ kind of feel. This track is taken from their ‘Alright You Restless’ album which is available now. Also check out the other track I’ve
Aidan Knight
A good friend in Steve from Melophobe.com turned me on to this video, and I’ve got to say, its absolutely friggin gorgeous. The subtle rain drops, the gorgeous quiet nature to this song is entrancing. Confess that I had no idea who it was; though Steve has never
River City Extension
Something Salty, Something Sweet River City Extension had completely eluded my musical umbrella; but luckily they just announced they will be playing the Newport Folk Festival this summer. As I had no idea who they were, curiosity got the better of me. What I found shouldn’t have surprised me,
Jukebox The Ghost
Check out this really awesome sounding acoustic recording of Jukebox the Ghost playing their track ‘Summer Sun’ off of their album ‘Everything Under the Sun’ which was one of my favorite albums of 2011.
Filligar
About a week ago I got a fantastic video submission from Chicago band, Filligar. They were kind enough to send along their album ‘The Nerve’ and I’ve listened to it a few times now and can honestly say these guys are one of the best straight up rock acts
Blake Mills
Blake Mills – Hey Lover :: Invisible Children Holiday Benefit Concert from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo. Just caught this off of a post from Rollo Grady, it’s Blake Mills performing live with Taylor and Griffin of Dawes, at the Troubadour for the 2010 Invisible Children Holiday Benefit Concert. Being on the
The Dodos
Check out the Dodos’ video for Black Night off their recently released album ‘No Color’ which I reviewed a couple of weeks ago. I’ve enjoyed this album and I am eagerly hoping they come to the East Coast (maybe?) More Dodos: Web | Facebook | Twitter The Dodos will be on
the antlers
Check out the new track from the Antlers, Parentheses. This one as with a lot of the Antlers’ music is difficult to describe. This has got a more rattly sound that what we heard on Hospice, but their ‘slowcore’ styling and choir like vocals are entrancing. Its a great sounding
