Bowerbirds Video “Northern Lights” is this Sunday’s Soundtrack
Bowerbirds show me (by mere coincidence) that they are cheering for Canadian Olympic Gold….yeah, that’s it…
-
Entertainment For The Braindead Release “Roadkill”, another winner for aaahh Records!

Fresh off the presses: 2 new Elephant Micah releases and tour dates galore!
So you know I am a fan of Joe O’Connell’s…Elephant Micah persona. It is just so good…his vocals simply kiss the landscape of his open prairie folk fusion sound.

New Music Tuesday – Recommendations: Matthew Barber, Hoquiam, Beach House & The Pass!
5 Albums that officially were released today that deserve a better look – enjoy a track from each!

Hoquiam’s Self Titled Release brings me into the fold
With the addition of Drake to the established sound of Damien, we definitely move to the aforementioned gothic part – these songs are just small vignettes of small town life…

White Pines issue 7″ Vinyl – Slowcoustic passes on the love: win a copy (or 2) why don’t you!
You could say that Joseph Scott (and crew) provide, in my opinion, the definition of the Michigan “folk” scene

Haven’t heard it yet, no problem. Streamed a bit on MySpace, but you never know, right? Well how to decide if you want the new Theodore album “Hold You Like A Lover” in two easy steps.
-
Little Yosemite’s “…Through the Winter” EP is aptly named and great seasonal folk
not something to put on at a party to “get it started”, but something you put on to sit back & immerse yourself into: steady percussion/pin-points of banjo/echoing voice of James McGaha

New album preview – Sean Hayes’ “Run Wolves Run”
Two advance tracks from the upcoming “Run Wolves Run” album from Sean Hayes featured.
-
The start of the Olympics is today, so it’s Canadian content ONLY: Corey Isenor’s fantastic “Frost” album!
What has surfaced is an indie folk-pop album that literally came out of nowhere for me. In a way that you sit there and you actually try to sing along to the songs…
-
New Tracks that I almost skipped over – Laura Gibson/Ethan Rose, The Abramson Singers and Slow Six!
The Abramson Singers, Slow Six and Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose get nods via a track from each of their respective recently released albums.
