Something Borrowed and Something Blue
Advised from friend Giuseppe over at Happy Days Are Here Again Blog via Twitter: new Brian Borcherdt video for Scout Leader – LOVE IT – mostly as I had Brian Borcherdt’s “Coyotes” album as my favourite album of 2008. I am very much biased on this topic. Debates are still raging over the topic of…

The Woodlands emerge with incredible debut album!
The grey of dripping dusk sounds forth an invitation to innocence. It extends its grey hand with a slight tremble and a quiet recognition of the disparity between its own chill and the warmth of the impending guest. Innocence reciprocates like a slow glance around the doorway that leads to a dim room, holding promises…

I told you I would post again on Garrett Pierce.
I am not going to lie to you, I posted a couple of weekends ago on Garrett Pierce (here) and I was so impressed that I immediately went and purchased his debut album “Like A Moth”. Another winner. I then discovered it was up on IODA, so this is perfect, I am posting on Mr.…

This Is Deer Country – Daylily King EP
So yes, you think “Michigan once again”. You think “maybe I started to post too much about Michigan”. Then you notice Michigan starts hanging around more than it used to. Then Michigan asks to borrow money and accepts deliveries on your behalf. Then it happens…Michigan asks you to help it move and wants to store…

PapaFahr – New Release in May, Slowcoustic Approved
Again, I don’t know if we are dealing with Sweden or Norway here as I am getting conflicting information and honestly I am not completely familiar with the area. One thing I am not conflicted about is the upcoming album from PapaFahr. I know what you are saying…who is this bearded Norwegian Swede (not pictured)? …

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…

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…

Sarah Winchester’s “Northeast Kingdom Demos”
A Nice surprise was discovering Sarah Winchester’s 5 track demo release over on the Team-Love website. You might know Winchester as the same ethereal voice that keep the band “A Weather” on the Slowcoustic radar (also highly recommended). Her recent EP is so incredibly delicate and gorgeous that it is heartbreaking and warming at the…

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…

Old Smog (and new Bill Callahan) on tap for my Sunday
Just getting into the new Bill Callahan album “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” which is due on April 14th through Drag City. While it is definitely Bill, it is a new Bill Callahan – He might have soared like said eagle and just maybe moved on from the classic Smog sound. Okay,…
