[MP3] Milly Beau: “Taylor”
My Milly Beau friends are fast gaining momentum and ready for the big time. Since I last updated you, the group has had a major makeover. While shoring up the band members, they added a pianist with a smoothy smooth voice who could probably go solo himself. Count that as a plus. They also just released… Continue reading [MP3] Milly Beau: “Taylor”
[MP3] Tarek Musa: “It’s Alright, Follow”
Tarek Musa is a sound engineer who, luckily for us, also releases his own solo material. I’ve taken a strong liking to “It’s Alright, Follow,” a track off Musa’s latest EP, which grows on me with each listen. It’s a great song to finish the week off right, and hopefully gives me enough mental oomph… Continue reading [MP3] Tarek Musa: “It’s Alright, Follow”

Golden Fable
Remember the band-with-the-longest-name-ever-that-actually-makes-really-fantastic-music? Well, I do. That would be Tim and Sam’s Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam. I wrote up a post about one of their more angelic songs, “Choices,” a while back, and have been eagerly awaiting more from them since Life Stream. It just so has it that Tim… Continue reading Golden Fable
Bellows
A delicate sound; a warm embrace. Bellows is the project of Oliver Kalb, friend of Knox Road pal eskimeaux (Gabby Smith). The music is similarly subdued, but bursts of sharp sensation penetrate the cozy, experimental folk. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Kalb had a good deal of help on his debut Bellows… Continue reading Bellows
