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 …
Duck and Goose – Swan Song – Indie folk duo just the way you like it
The male-female troubadour combo is as ubiquitous as Sonny and Cher these days, but that’s not to say they are all good. Duck and Goose are some of the good ones. From first listen you’ll immediately hear why their friends and fans put …
Bear Medicine–lofty, haunting, astral sounds from the hills.
I love when bands cannot be fit into a genre. When this one arrived in my inbox it said “rocksy, folksy, weird” next to it. After spending some time with this album, I can assure you that it goes way beyond that. There’s …
Three bands from 2014 we should have covered (but didn’t)
Look – no one likes excuses. I have none. Sometimes there were “circumstances” that resulted in bands getting bumped down in coverage, but to these three bands I’d like to say SORRY. To make up for it… umm… we covered you! Yay?! Opal …
Forbear – Haunting and Beautiful
Every now and again I hear the forceful assertion that there is no good music made anymore. While at times I can definitely sympathize with this broad generalization, I feel that it negates the responsibility of the listener to sift through the blah …
Free Music Friday: Bearheart
Happy Free Music Friday friends! This week, again thanks to our friends at Noisetrade, we’re happy to bring some awesome new Americana music courtesy of Bearheart, a six piece band out of Nashville. These guys run the gamut of Americana stylings from bluegrass …
The Haunted Windchimes – Hallelujah
As you know, a good band name is all that it takes to grab my attention. I’m a little surprised I haven’t come across The Haunted Windchimes (aren’t all windchimes haunted? I think so.) before. These guys are right up our alley here. …
Yesper – Senses Sensei – Esoteric, smart singer songwriter
From the moment I first found Yesper I knew he was a special talent. It’s that kind of quirky different that made everyone raise their eyebrows at Yellow Submarine after I Wanna Hold Your Hand. It’s not bad or weird different, just different …
Morgan Mecaskey–driving, divergent, and transparent indie-pop.
Morgan Mecaskey is one of the most talented and engaging musicians who I have ever met. She’s a genuine person with great song-writing ability, and a unique and beautiful voice. She plays a variety of instruments and experiments with an incredible variety of …
Water Liars – “Let it breathe”
We’ve covered Water Liars here before. They’re one of the best country duos making music right now. I love that they’re totally flying under the radar while being absolutely world class talents. This particular track “Let it breathe” is gorgeous. The guitars… the …
