New Music Tuesday – Recommendations: Matthew Barber, Hoquiam, Beach House & The Pass!
5 Albums that officially were released today that deserve a better look – enjoy a track from each!
-
Hoquiam’s Self Titled Release brings me into the fold
With the addition of Drake to the established sound of Damien, we definitely move to the aforementioned gothic part – these songs are just small vignettes of small town life…
-
White Pines issue 7″ Vinyl – Slowcoustic passes on the love: win a copy (or 2) why don’t you!
You could say that Joseph Scott (and crew) provide, in my opinion, the definition of the Michigan “folk” scene
-
Little Yosemite’s “…Through the Winter” EP is aptly named and great seasonal folk
not something to put on at a party to “get it started”, but something you put on to sit back & immerse yourself into: steady percussion/pin-points of banjo/echoing voice of James McGaha

New album preview – Sean Hayes’ “Run Wolves Run”
Two advance tracks from the upcoming “Run Wolves Run” album from Sean Hayes featured.
-
The start of the Olympics is today, so it’s Canadian content ONLY: Corey Isenor’s fantastic “Frost” album!
What has surfaced is an indie folk-pop album that literally came out of nowhere for me. In a way that you sit there and you actually try to sing along to the songs…
-
New Tracks that I almost skipped over – Laura Gibson/Ethan Rose, The Abramson Singers and Slow Six!
The Abramson Singers, Slow Six and Laura Gibson & Ethan Rose get nods via a track from each of their respective recently released albums.

A couple of videos, couple of mp3s and a couple of thoughts for this Saturday, [er…Sunday]
[Ramblings about favourite days of the week, other blogs and complete with tracks from The Deep Dark Woods, Shelley Miller (and video) and PR Inbox stories!]
-
Hitide.Lotide provide us a gift in the new EP “Cross-Legged”
hitide.lotide is Nate Gruber and his talented friends and they bring you acoustic folk that is soo fragile you fear it just might break if not held close…
-
Song(s) of the Day from “a singer of songs”
The album is overflowing with ballads meant to be merely whispered to the one next to you…often accompanied by a piano and/or a lone guitar strummed at half speed…
-
The Moonband guides me through the “open space” of my Sunday
You may get the impression of some progressive post rock epic, but in turn you get a warm collection of acoustic folk and indie pop and even a touch of Americana to finish it off.

A recommendation to me, now for you all: Olds Sleeper
Something I like is getting a recommendation for something that catches you off guard. Olds Sleeper did just that – Fringe country at its best.
