Nothing like a summery, shimmery track to get us pumped for a cold weekend! I haven’t heard from Ghosty in a while, but this new song reminded me what I enjoyed about them: pleasant vocals (this time Andrew Connor and David Wetzel do a little call and response) and a tight guitar line. It’s also [...]

 Leave a comment | After KR took a month’s hiatus from the Akudama boys, they’re back again with Thumbelina – their latest, free, monthly EP. The stunning range of styles Akudama manages to incorporate into their music is admirable and unique. “Thumbelina”, the title track, is very beach boys-y during the choruses and soft and folksy during the verses. And [...] November 2nd, 2009 | Tags: Akudama, e.p., free, Thumbelina | Category: Download, MP3, New Album |
Leave a comment | Courtesy of KCRW’s “Today’s Top Tune”: Greg Laswell is an LA-based producer and songwriter with a few full-length original albums under his belt. For his upcoming EP, however, he’s decided to re-interpret some of his favorites songs. Here’s a preview with Today’s Top Tune, a haunting version of Kristin Hersh’s ” Your Ghost.“ I couldn’t agree more [...] August 4th, 2009 | Tags: Covers, e.p., Greg Laswell, KCRW, Kristin Hersh, Piano pop, Today's Top Tune, Your Ghost | Category: Download, MP3 |
Leave a comment | Our Akudama friends keep churning ‘em out – they haven’t once flaked on the whole monthly free EP thing yet. Impressive stuff. Also, they’re starting to add more shows to their bill (Pianos in NYC Sept. 8, 15, and 22 + Boston’s Middle East Upstairs this Thursday, 8/6) and are gaining increasing popularity. Here’s to [...] August 1st, 2009 | Tags: Akudama, Barbershop, Boston, Download, e.p., free, Gina Cimmelli, Middle East Upstairs, New, NYC, Pianos, Shows | Category: Concerts, Download, MP3, New Album |
2 comments | Ah saiddd, you ain’t punchin’ those keys hard enough feller! D.C.’s Typefighter comes to Knox Road through a recommendation from good pal Aaron Leeder, of D.C. and NYC (and swiftly growing) favorites, Exit Clov. He has been incredibly supportive of this here blog, and we thank him (and the rest of Exit Clov for that matter) [...] July 10th, 2009 | Tags: Acoustic, D.C., e.p., folk, I Want To See You Game Boys I Want To See You Brave, MP3, Music, Typefighter | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
Leave a comment | To be honest, something about the email we got from Bagheera’s press team threw me off, and I began listening to their music with a bit of hesitation. Thankfully, that feeling wore off quickly, as listening to the hazy, devious sound from the Liverpool, UK boys put me in the right mood on this rainy-turned-less-rainy [...] July 3rd, 2009 | Tags: Bagheera, e.p., Hollow Home, MP3, Music, UK | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
3 comments | The New York crew is at it again with their monthly free EPs, and they’ve managed to show improvement on each one (which is difficult because I loved the first effort I heard), establishing even further chemistry. This one mirrors the time of its release, as “Sun (From Underneath The Lake)” is a shimmery tune [...] Despite a name that conjures…actually, I’m not sure what We The They conjures. And I don’t really care. I’m sure it’s something connotative or humorous, but even if it was something ridiculously emotorical (made up word -> reeking of emo metaphors) and cheesy, I wouldn’t care. Because their music puts a smile on my face, [...] June 12th, 2009 | Tags: e.p., MP3, Music, New York, Pop, We The They | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
Leave a comment | Following up her highly successful previous album (with the dot dot dots), La La Lost, Arrica Rose is back on the indie folk scene with Pretend I’m Fur, a seven-song EP, released May 11, on pOprOck records. After the stunning, lo-fi La La Lost, Rose seems to take her songwriting up a notch in attitude, [...] May 19th, 2009 | Tags: Arrica Rose, e.p., folk, La La Lost, New Album, Pretend I'm Fur | Category: Artist Profile, MP3, New Album |

Wow, talk about a band blowing me off my feet. I had never heard of Starlume until I stumbled upon their music on MySpace. I messaged them with a hope that maybe I would get some info regarding the group, since I couldn’t find much of their music anywhere. However, not only did [...] February 11th, 2009 | Tags: e.p., Get Found, mp3s, Music, New, One Tree Hill, Starlume | Category: Artist Profile, MP3, New Album |
