Oh, the times when I love music blogging. (What, you thought I had undying love for this thing? Try getting behind the wheel.) An old summer camp acquaintance recently reached out to me via Facebook about one of the acts she manages and the whole personal piece certainly sparked my interest. I was still a [...] [...]

 Leave a comment | I need to do something about my inbox. I thought I’d have to give some sort of disclaimer regarding how I’m a little late on the “new” part, but after wading back through several tabs of email, I realized this track was sent to me just two days ago. The music world is flying, and [...] [...] August 2nd, 2012 | Tags: Folk Pop, Friends, Indie Pop, Los Angeles, Terraplane Sun, Venice Beach | Category: Artist Profiles, New Albums, Stream |
Leave a comment | Earworms. We all get them. Usually it’s a bad track someone unknowingly burrows into our head, unbeknownst to us. Then, as innocently as it happens, an hour after the crime is committed we find ourselves humming a ridiculous song by Lionel Richie. More joyous, however, are the rare instances when we hear a new song [...] [...] Gracing the cover of Pearl and the Beard’s excellent second album, Killing The Darlings, is a sweater made for three people. While this seems like merely a cute, simple way of pointing out that the band has three members, it is actually a completely definitive representation of the trio. Pearl And The Beard is truly [...] [...] March 1st, 2012 | Tags: D.C., Folk Pop, Killing The Darlings, Pearl and the Beard | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, Interviews |
Leave a comment | Holy crap have I fallen in love with a band/record out of nowhere. Baobab, essentially Phil Torres (with some help from Whitney Trettien), based out of Durham, North Carolina, just released their debut s/t album, and it couldn’t sound less like a debut. Complex, mature, and impeccably arranged, the album is nothing short of hypnotizing. [...] [...] February 9th, 2012 | Tags: Acoustic, Baobab, Durham, experimental, Folk Pop, Phil Torres, Whitney Trettien | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | It’s no secret that we love Morr Music around these parts. So when we hear about a new Morr artist, we’re quick to jump on them. Fenster, a New York/Berlin based trio, are set to release their new album, Bones, March 13, just in time for their US live debut and SXSW. Fenster makes experimental, [...] [...] February 8th, 2012 | Tags: Berlin, Bones, experimental, Fenster, Folk Pop, Morr Music, New York | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3 |
Leave a comment | You’ve likely noticed that I’m keen on starting the work weeks with something unique and uplifting. We don’t often (read: never) get Hindi folk submissions, and while at first the distinct sound can be a bit off putting, I think you’ll grow to love it like I have. Maggie8′s complex arrangements and excitable, orchestral instrumentation [...] [...] January 23rd, 2012 | Tags: Folk Pop, Hindi, Maggie8, This Charming Lady, UK | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | There’s only so many positive things you can say about one man and one band. Ted Wendler and Mansions on the Moon strike again. Count this as another MotM song I’ll be listening to on repeat. So smooth. Mansions on the Moon – “Rest Of Your Days” [MP3] Mansions on the Moon on Knox Road | [...] [...] January 16th, 2012 | Tags: Acoustic, Folk Pop, Lightyears, Mansions on the Moon, Ted Wendler | Category: MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | Bogan Via is a duo out of Phoenix that makes my heart go aflutter. Madeleine Miller’s sweet falsetto is gently contrasted with Bret Bender’s raspy baritone. The songs heavily rely on the duo’s vocals, but the angelic instrumentation also makes me swoon. Also, these words from Bender make it that much sweeter: About four months [...] [...] January 11th, 2012 | Tags: Bogan Via, Folk Pop, Phoenix, Singer/Songwriter | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | Brae is Brandon Husken, who’s been in the music scene for 22 years but has recently rediscovered himself as a singer/songwriter. His forthcoming album, Another Time and Place, marks his third full length as Brae, but it’s his first real effort into getting the word out there about the project. Husken is a multi-instrumentalist, specializing [...] [...] January 9th, 2012 | Tags: Another Time and Place, Brae, Detroit, Folk Pop, Singer/Songwriter | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
