Share’s “Slumping In Your Murals” to be released August 4th. Let the Countdown Begin!
Share, the latest band I have found from Halifax, Nova Scotia is set to release their new album this August. What is happening in the East Coast of Canada? These people are ridiculously talented, it could be our version of Portland/Seattle, me thinks. If I were you, I would start counting the days, as it needs to be…

This Is What Sunday is For – Ofeliadorme
Ever want to lie awake and stare off to the distance, but with purpose? Well, take a listen and feel yourself catching yourself gazing off, losing yourself while at the same time being totally focused. Ofeliadorme (or “Ophelia is Sleeping” translated from Italian) is part shoegaze, part ambient with a shake or two of dark…

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…

After One Listen Review – Joshua Barton’s “Thanks, I Missed You, Too”
When Joshua suggested I listen to his album, I thought to myself – “Oh great, another musician emailing to tell me I need to listen to his music! Why do all these damn musicians…er, wait. Joshua Barton?” Okay, to be honest, I don’t mind getting emails recommending music – I am a music blogger, it…

Song of the Night – Ain’s “Sunday”
Although been out for a bit already, the EP from Ain – “Close to Cotton” is a great one. I just finally discovered one of the tracks is up for posting/downloading – so here I am, telling you something I have known for a while now. Listen to Ain (or Aindriú Conroy as he is…

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…

Acoustic Dakota Suite on “They Shoot Music Don’t They?” + bonus MP3s
Very nice haunting of the Viennese Hotel Fürstenhof. Ever find yourself wanting for a lonely day, or simply need to unwind – Dakota Suite is here. They will provide you with their melancholy a la post rock singer-songwriter persona to be the one to walk you down that winding path into dusk. Sometimes ethereal, sometimes…

John K. Samson vs. Innuit Throat Singing vs. Synths. A Worth it Battle!
Yes, you read that post title correctly. John K. versus Nikki Komaksiutiksak with some electronic/looping via Blunderspublik. Yes, you read that correctly as well. One of the most interesting things I have seen in a while – the overall project of “Record of the Week” and then this track – how indie is this?? First…

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…

Black Golden Bull – Folk Music Guild or Just New Age Cowboys?
Black Golden Bull from Non Entity Labs. Yeah, sounds interesting. I still don’t know who they are really, other than a group of musicians making pretty darn good cowboy folk. I don’t know any names (correspondence from “A. Friend” is all I have) and they also indicate that no musician names will accompany the CD,…

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…
