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…

More Eulogies Homespun Sessions!
I know I have previously made note of the 5 song EP that is being released by Eulogies in order to lead up to their full length release next month (due on April 7th) of “Here Anonymous“. It is their “Homespun” Sessions EP and they are releasing a song a week (more or less) leading…

Modicom’s “Ice Storm” makes an appearance in Calgary, more or less.
So remember when I bitched out National Geographic for showing a ridiculous photo of a snowy Calgary, Alberta and titled it “Spring in Calgary” a few posts ago? Well, I am here to “eat crow” and say that damn it, I woke up to snow everywhere…on the first weekend in Spring (check a flickr photo…

Another Incredible Free EP – The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers’ “Redux”
Don’t let the name “The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers” distract you here. Regardless if you have to stop and say it a few times, work it around your mouth, think it through a few times and then confidently say it aloud. The band has the sound that will catch you far more…

Played Out – New, Old, Unknown, Almost Popular Playlist?
It is true, I am delving into the fray (not the band, cuz that’s weird) and putting out a Sunday Mixlist. It is almost a blogger tradition to put out playlists/mixtapes/themed musical collections. I tend to try and theme some (see ladies night/men’s night), but sometimes I find it a bit of a chore to…

Friday Discovery – MORE Elephant Micah!
So we all know I am a ridiculous fan of Joe O’Connell’s “Elephant Micah” recording persona. I honestly have to say that his most recent full album release “Exiled Magicians” is going to be a top album for the decade for me – see for yourself by visiting Third Uncle Records to pick up a…

Did I Simply Overlook the Woolly Leaves Album? Shame On Me.
Fragile can sometimes be conveyed with actions, images and sounds – Woolly Leaves provides at least the two latter on his debut album from 2006 (!!). While I have heard of this Torontonian artist in the past, now that I take the time, I realize this experience should have taken place much earlier than now…shame…

Album to look forward to: Weinland – “Breaks In The Sun”
Upcoming on April 21st, 2009 – Badman Recording Company is releasing the next album from Weinland called “Breaks In The Sun”. If you are familiar with Weinland, you will know it will be an album of rich textrure and at times ethereal acoustic melodies. Believe me, it is that good. If by chance you find…

The Cloud Hymn – New Album & Interview
The day has come (or actually tomorrow, March 3rd) and we have the release of the debut album from “The Cloud Hymn”. I have been waiting for this album for a while now ever since I started listening to a few demos last year and was so impressed, that I had to post then…on just…

Chriss Sutherland & Brown Bird – Spring Tour 2009
One tour I would love to see would be the upcoming tour of Brown Bird and Chriss Sutherland. While both have been featured here on Slowcoustic in the past (here & here), teaming up these two…that is bad ass. Chriss has a new album “Worried Love” and Brown Bird will be looking to also have…

Rewind Friday – Canadian Edition
So in a lame attempt to put a post out, I give you a mish mash of Canadian artists over the past few years. Some newer than others….some better than others…overall a pretty decent Friday I must say. Now, don’t get all “these are simply the mainstream indie-Canadian bands” on me…I didn’t say it was…
