[Note: This album is from 2013. We rarely cover albums more than a year old.] Not since I first heard Pokey Lafarge have I been so impressed with an artist’s ability to capture a bygone era. A bit of the 1930s in sonic …

The Lone Bellow – Then Came The Morning – The Only Folk Rock You’ll Need This Year
As any sports fan knows, the sophomore slump is real thing. A fantastic debut season followed by a disappointing second trying to live up the hype. But if you’re not a sports fan and you follow our site, you may not believe that …
The Lone Bellow – Slip Slidin’ Away
The Lone Bellow released a new album on Tuesday and I’ll have a review coming next week. It’s every bit the follow up to their self titled debut that we hoped for. It’s brilliant, but maybe not as beautiful as this cover of …
Bear Medicine–lofty, haunting, astral sounds from the hills.

Jeremiah Daly–real, live, and introspective.
This man has a sound like a cup of french pressed coffee at six-thirty on a Tuesday morning. I’ve had Jeremiah Daly’s latest EP on repeat since early and what a beautiful source of bliss it has been. “Live at True Tone Studios” …
Free Music Friday: The Doodads and Don’ts
2015! It’s the first free music Friday of the new year and I’m committed to starting the year off with great, new, free music. This year, thanks to our friends over at Noisetrade, we’re excited to post for your viewing and listening pleasure …
Greylag – Classic Indie Rock
Great music, like love, is often found in the most random and mundane occurrences. In the case of the exceptional indie rock act Greylag, it was found under the dimly lit café lights at a local coffee house. While music is generally muted …
