Song of the Day – eagleowl’s “Sleep The Winter”
Their music is described as “post folk” or “alt-folk” but I simply call it stunning. There are aspects of acoustic and electric in their sound – like a cello backing a gently picked electric guitar…

Saturday Quickie {Clint Michigan, E.P. Hall, Akira Kosemura, Josh Preston & Frank Schweikhardt}
Well this one is actually safe for work and is not the quickie some visitors might have been looking for when googling and finding yourself here. This is a quickie because I am currently in transition with home computers, waiting for delivery guys to deliver some furniture and hence I might only have a fleeting…

The Other Worldly Sounds of Sleep Whale to be released on Western Vinyl
Sleep Whale are from North Texas and could be considered a bit of an amalgamation of shoegaze, folk, psychedelic, noise-art are definitely and interesting crew and I am finding myself oddly drawn to it.

The Slowcoustic Inbox speaketh… Music Submissions worth mentioning: We Are The Willows!
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 the ol’ inbox a few…

Status Check – All good, for the most part.
So just a quick status check on the goings on for yours truly. I know you are all waiting with baited breath on my daily life. Come on, don’t you feel like we need a connection? Whatever, well lets look ahead to what is going on around here. I am working on a few items…

Forget Sigur Rós, Iceland has all-girl bands! Amiina bring Iceland’s beauty to the forefront.
I just wanted to say I am sitting here mouth agape. Amiina does that. I haven’t been on the band wagon (no pun intended) for very long and I didn’t find them myself – I believe it was the lovely Agnes over at It All Started With Carbon Monoxide who introduced me to this Icelandic…

In The Post – Thomas Western, The Steals & Trevor Giuliani
What has been circling the submission circles here at the blog? Well a fair amount of stuff! You would think with the sheer amount of music bloggers these days that there aren’t enough artists to go around! ….sorry inside blogger joke, kinda. I thought I would feature 3 artists that all cover different sounds but…

Get Your Pre-Order on: Lightning Dust’s “Infinite Light”
Recommendations, recommendations. Bloggers have many. Most are pretty decent recommendations and for the most part we (hopefully) know what we are talking about. As I often talk out of my ass, take what I say with a grain of salt – I obsess on bands or albums or songs, so when I am listening –…

The long lost Lewis & Clarke Interview
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 of us, L&C was…

Ending the evening with Peter Broderick
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 creation as it seems so…

Song of the Day – Reverie Sound Revue’s “An Anniversary Away”
So song of the day today is from Reverie Sound Revue’s newly released self titled album and the first track “An Anniversary Away”. The track is a more atmospheric summer jam from the Canadian pseudo electro-shoegaze outfit. It is a lush affair to say the least and begs to be immersed in. I can’t describe…

Gareth Dickson’s Sunday Morning.
Just a quick post on Gareth (although he is deserving of more) – I simply needed to put this out there as I was listening to his “Collected Recordings” this morning and had to post. There has been fewer perfect moments than a tranquil back yard on a Sunday Morning…the yard half immersed in sunlight…
