Fraser’s “House on a Hill” finds itself a home.
To my delight, another Canuck has impressed me with his fouray into the making of great music. The kind of music that despite being part of the same album, has the ability to range from full on folk to indie rock ballad. This album was such a nice surprise that I find myself immediately putting…

Git Yer Friday Music Blog downloads.
I hope to provide you, the reader, a selection of songs for your Friday. Not a crazy 23 song playlist, it is just 4 songs that caught the ear. Some music that I am very familiar with, some not so much. Overall, what more can you ask for? It’s Friday (of a long week for…

French Quarter has my hump day covered
This has been circling the webs for a couple of years, but just thought I would drag it out for a Wednesday. I am having an ass week and just needed something to cheer me up. A couple of ultra lo-fi covers are something that always makes me just a little bit warmer inside. You…

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…

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.

Cleaning off the Desktop – The “no connection is the connection” Cop-Out Mixtape
So just cleaning up my desktop. I tend to find songs, take a listen, then know I am going to like it and simply download to my desktop. I tend to leave soo many tracks on my desktop that I miss actually listening to them! So here we have some tracks that haven’t made it…

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…
