Artist/Music submissions come fast and furious at times and it is hard to keep up being the solo person around Slowcoustic HQ.  Why even mention this?  Because it’s my blog damnit!  No just kidding – I am wanting to let you all know about a project that showed up in …

I just wanted to say I am sitting here mouth agape.  Amiina does that.

So as I mentioned earlier, I keep getting reminded how much Lewis & Clarke sneak up on me and just captivate me.   Once again, they do so.
Late last year I had a bit of back and forth with Lou Rogai about putting a post together.  Things got busy for both …

Goodnight folks, I will leave you with one of the tracks from the newest Peter Broderick album (fittingly the end track).  Just gorgeous use of piano, strings and atmosphere:  he used no other instruments/sounds other than those from piano and violin.  This is the stuff that baffles me in its …
