Ivana XL – The Info, Music and Interview!
Remember the name because she is great. Remember the name because there is a new album on the way. Remember the name because you are listening to the next “Cat Power meets PJ Harvey”, and that is saying something. I have been listening to this Ivana’s music for a couple of years from first discovering…

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,…

If You Haven’t Heard – Tobacco Pat
Tobacco Pat is the subject of this episode of “If You Haven’t Heard” and once again, you need to hear – but I guess that is the point of the series. Well now that we are on subject, I was recently introduced to Tobacco Pat (and have previously mentioned him HERE) and now I hope…

A Trip Through The Slowcoustic Inbox
**pictured above is the entrance to Slowcoustic Artist Submission offices Thought I would do a overview of some recent submissions to the blog. I do get a fair amount, not as much as others (how many sad bastards can there be, really?) and they deserve some play. Below are a few selections of bands, artists…

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)? …

Have a Good Night Series – Great Music, Great Cause
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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
