Sunday Morning Lullabies with Kesang Marstrand
If you enjoy a mellow acoustic gem, you have one in “Hello Night” – why not buy it for the kids and keep it for yourself.

Best New Music. Okay Best New Almost Released Music: James Vincent McMorrow
I am clearly a fan of all things that consist of the unhurried tempo, but it still has to be good. Sometimes when you listen, it happens to be great.

Quick Post of the Night – Ronnie Fauss has a new EP
Heard from Ronnie that he has released a new digital only 3 track EP just last week. The title track included below is exactly what you would think of a song of the night around here, it’s slow, it’s acoustic and it’s a song that feels just a bit lonely. The track sings of not…

The Jeckell & Hyde show that is The Big Nasty
I am a bit confused by The Big Nasty – they have two CDs coming out and one is more country folk and the other more rock alternative. I mean each is its own project – and actually kudos to them for having the energies and ability to have two separate albums to promote. And…

Talons’ “Songs for Babes” sees official release!
First blogged about Talons’ lo-fi gem almost a year ago (see here) and I am glad to see what I think is an official release of the album. Serious bedroom folk for the broken hearted. A little bit of reverb, a little bit of piano and a lot of girls from the past. I stand…

The Black Atlantic’s “Reverence For Fallen Trees” for breakout album of the year?
Introduced and recommended to me from the good folks at The Waiting Room (see them on the blogroll to your right please) – The Black Atlantic are currently on hardcore repeat over here. As soon as you spin it a bit, you will feel the same way I am sure. The Album is Reverence for…

Mi and L’au – Good Morning Jokers album via video
Mi and L’au are a French/Finnish duo that creates the lullabyes that you always wish you had. The sound of down-tempo pop as it was meant to be. The new album “Good Morning Jokers” surprisingly has 4 videos of various tracks already (with 3 below). As I can only find “Up In The Building” as…

Doby Watson’s “Twenty Two” shines on Orchid Collective
So the unassuming Orchid Collective surprises again. This label keeps on churning out solid talent – why are not more people falling over themselves?? I guess it shows that the general public finds all it’s taste in it’s mouth. But that is for another time…. The “Collective” have provided myself with a full roster of…

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…

Huck Notari’s “Very Long Dream” is Very much NOT long enough!
When one visits a site like mine and listens to music, one gets and idea of the style of music you will often be subject to everytime you come back. While there is nothing wrong with blogs that cover multiple genres of music and even have a “media information” feel and cover movies, celebrity, cultural…

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 –…
