Basket of Figs – Dead Language
Back again with the new EP from Basket of Figs. This Toronto phenom is known for her EP releasing (maybe an album upcoming….maybe…) and they all are self released and incredibly dark, stunning lo-fi experiences. I have said it before and I will say it again, you feel drawn into her voice, it is like…

The Antlers “new” Album Hospice, gets me back on board
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 my listening, work or general…

Dame Satan’s “Beaches and Bridges” Brings Psych-Folk Back!
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 new album dissected: “It…

Color of Clouds – The Look EP out now!
It might not just be the color (or colour as I know it…sorry, inside joke) of clouds, but more so the weightless feeling you get while transfixed by the movement of them. If the movement could be translated, it just might be the ambient indie pop that is “Color of Clouds”. The new Color of…

I Was Reminded How Much I Love Lewis & Clarke, Now It’s Your Turn.
A friend recommended and sent me a copy of the new Lewis & Clarke’s “Light Time”. That friend is Tim Showalter (or Strand of Oaks, and fellow label mate of L&C) and I can’t thank him enough and I have to say, I was reminded how much I get lost in the beauty of almost…

Have a Good Night Series – Great Music, Great Cause
There is still good in the world and this is a shining example of it. The “Have A Good Night” Series has been around for a couple of years and is currently on it’s 4th compilation in support of Junior Solidarity. With translation from the French site, I am not quite sure if the compilations…

Jeniferever – Spring Tides
I am not going to tell you that I have been a fan for years and I am excited for the new release “Spring Tides” from this Swedish foursome, but in fact I now am excited having just started listening. After a few spins to the lead off promo track, I think I am going…

New on the ‘Nets This Week (or so)
What is going on around in my fellow bloggers world that is of concern to me (and hence you)? Well, I am glad you asked. Let me drop some links for you for items of note for me (and hence you). ~~~ Captain Obvious has put up a post on Joe Purdy in light of…

So take a breath, sit back, listen to some Wixel, swing by a little later today.

If You Haven’t Heard – The Vega Star
Sorry I have been remiss on the “If You Haven’t Heard” series here on Slowcoustic, but we have someone that you need to hear…if you haven’t heard. It’s corny I know, but sometimes it is simply a fact, The Vega Star is a band you will want to hear. The Vega Star are a Wisconsin…

Trespassers William new EP preview – “Sparrow”
So the new EP “The Natural Order of Things” from Trespassers William will be released on May 25th and it is another great ambient electro-indie folk collage. While I tend to like most of TW stuff (come on, “Different Stars” and “Having” were great) and tend to fall over backwards at any chance I get…
