Something I like is getting a recommendation for something that catches you off guard. Olds Sleeper did just that – Fringe country at its best.

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 have been listening to a lot of music, but not posting as much as I should.  I thought I would give you a quick song of the day post to fend of the daily mp3 crowd and the die hard regulars (love you guys!).  Hopefully I can get some …

 Folk, Freak Folk, Live, New Album, Video 30 July 2009

The post title says it all.  The track I speak of is “Leaving a Mark”.  It is a winding mellow hazy road of a track from the self proclaimed “psychedelic” Chicago resident that might also be known as Dan Schneider.  Schneider’s “The Singleman Affair” has a new album called “Let’s …

So I know it was available, I know it was getting some pretty good press from fellow bloggers.  I just didn’t immediately take the “real listen”.  I don’t know why.  I might have be the deluge of music the last few months, finding another couple of releases that took over …

 Ambient, Down-Tempo, Folk, Freak Folk, New Album, Video 27 May 2009

Just a little bit of Dame Satan’s ambient psych folk for your Wednesday.  This is what happens when someone blends 60s acid with an ambient production.  Sometimes too sparse to describe, sometimes way too trippy to think you actually understand it, but always worth a listen (or two).
The band and …
