Honestly, I couldn’t think of better music for a Saturday afternoon. You know, it’s that time when we’re either preparing to go out for a night of festivities, getting some unfinished work done around the house, or catching up on some “me” time. We need some laid back, groovy tunes. Don’t tell me you don’t [...]

 Leave a comment | The Damn Choir, a folk foursome out of Chicago, recently released their first full-length album Faithful Fools. As if the album name doesn’t already imply some fairly depressing music, the guys describe themselves as “sad-bastard” music (hey, we have a good friend who describes himself like that too ). Gordon Robertson heads up the [...] February 27th, 2010 | Tags: chicago, Faithful Fools, folk, MP3, New Album, The Damn Choir | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
One comment | Some creative folk at play here indeed. Pearl and the Beard, originally a trio, has recently become an ensemble of members, complete with a string section, drums, and a backing choir. The choir is what immediately drew my attention to these fine Brooklyn folks, as they back up the primary vocalists, Jocelyn Arlington (glockenspiel), Emily [...] February 15th, 2010 | Tags: Brooklyn, Family Records, folk, MP3, Oh Death, Pearl and the Beard, Pop | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
2 comments | I guess it would have been appropriate to wait until Friday to post Friday Mile but really I just couldn’t wait that long (correct, one day) to share them with you. This five-piece from Seattle comes from the folk vein, but don’t let that genre word limit your expectations of their music. They incorporate some [...] February 11th, 2010 | Tags: folk, Friday Mile, Good Luck Studio, MP3, Pop, Seattle | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
One comment | Pleasant, drifting, warm. Bands like Seas keep me going on wintry days like today. The snow is falling but my body temperature is rising (and I reaaalllly don’t mean that in the sexual way, so let’s keep those jokes to a minimum, yeah?). Seas (aka Ben Green, out of D.C.) just released Now My Home [...] January 30th, 2010 | Tags: D.C., Decoration Day Recordings, folk, My Home Is A Beech Tree, Pop, Rock, Seas, the black cat | Category: Artist Profile, Concerts, MP3, New Album |
Leave a comment | What’s that? New music from Australian sibling sensations Angus & Julia Stone?? With Angus’s new side project, Lady Of The Sunshine, receiving its fair share of press lately, he seems quite willing to let Julia take the reigns on “And The Boys”, the new single from their forthcoming (March 2010) sophomore LP, Down The Way. [...] December 26th, 2009 | Tags: And The Boys, Angus & Julia Stone, Down The Way, folk, MP3, New Album, Pop, Video | Category: MP3, Music Video, New Album |
2 comments | Going back to familiar territory for me here in the female singer/songwriter category. It’s rather surprising that New York’s Shayna Zaid & The Catch haven’t received more publicity; yeah, they’ve been featured on commercials occasionally and whatnot, but has anyone actually heard their name? Shayna Zaid is the lead singer (starting with the obvious, of course) [...] December 21st, 2009 | Tags: folk, New York, Pop, Shayna Zaid & The Catch | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
2 comments | Wake up, ceiling stare, hurriedly dress and walk with the wind to work. Hear something. Stop. Gate off to the right. Press your ear to the door. Echoes, bouncing sounds. Eyes to the hole. Kids running around, innocence abound. Flowers in full bloom. Weeping trees. Afraid someone will see you watching. Realize you’re late to [...] November 14th, 2009 | Tags: Collective, folk, Hush Records, Loch Lomond, Portland, Song by Toad Records, Split 12'', The Builders & the Butchers, UK | Category: Artist Profile, MP3, New Album |
Leave a comment | There are many artists out there that really give me a tough time getting used to their sound. Granted, once I do, I don’t understand how I didn’t like the music before (yes, Dirty Projectors, you are finally in that category for me.) So it’s surprising when I’m smitten almost instantaneously by a certain band/artist/sound/whatever, [...] November 11th, 2009 | Tags: Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation, folk, Singer/Songwriter | Category: Artist Profile, MP3 |
3 comments | Wunderkid Will Stratton’s newest LP, No Wonder, dropped earlier this week and I’d be remiss not to share my thoughts. I know very little about Stratton, except that Mr. Nobody, Sufjan Stevens, made an appearance on his first album, What The Night Said, which garnered much critical praise. His voice is eerily reminiscent of Nick [...] November 6th, 2009 | Tags: folk, No Wonder, Pop, Will Stratton | Category: Artist Profile, MP3, New Album |
