The Black Atlantic’s “Reverence For Fallen Trees” for breakout album of the year?
Introduced and recommended to me from the good folks at The Waiting Room (see them on the blogroll to your right please) – The Black Atlantic are currently on hardcore repeat over here. As soon as you spin it a bit, you will feel the same way I am sure. The Album is Reverence for…

Mi and L’au – Good Morning Jokers album via video
Mi and L’au are a French/Finnish duo that creates the lullabyes that you always wish you had. The sound of down-tempo pop as it was meant to be. The new album “Good Morning Jokers” surprisingly has 4 videos of various tracks already (with 3 below). As I can only find “Up In The Building” as…

Doby Watson’s “Twenty Two” shines on Orchid Collective
So the unassuming Orchid Collective surprises again. This label keeps on churning out solid talent – why are not more people falling over themselves?? I guess it shows that the general public finds all it’s taste in it’s mouth. But that is for another time…. The “Collective” have provided myself with a full roster of…

Sharon Van Etten Re-Releases debut album – Slowcoustic rejoices with CD giveaway!
So I happen to have an extra copy of the re-release of the Sharon Van Etten debut CD. Long story (not really) about having two, but the end result is that you readers are benefiting from it. The story goes… Yours truly orders a CD once they were available and SVE sends it out with…

Andrew Bryant’s “Galilee” makes me a believer
I have waited on this one, and I don’t know why. The new album from Andrew Bryant came out July 9th, 2009 and is Bryant’s 5th release to date. This album is right at the top of my indie folk rock stack of releases, and for good reason. So this stack of indie folk rock…

Newest facination: foreign female singer-songwriters! Haruko’s “Wild Geese” being the reason
Sorry for some downtime on the blog lately, life getting in the way: Family visiting, little access to the “spare room” or “Slowcoustic Headquarters” as I know it. Also quit the day job on Friday – newly working for private business (no longer a corporate monkey) on web & marketing! Very excited. So I have…

My Song of the Summer: The Cave Singers’ “At The Cut”
I part rock, 1 part energy, 1 part bass line. This song is me “rocking out”. This is the best thing since “Dancing on Our Graves” – which incidentally could have been my song of the summer 2 years ago. So really, its the best thing since their last album…so, yeah. Pick up the album…

Brown Bird preps new album release: “The Devil Dancing” – sun comes out, air smells sweeter
It is true my friends, Brown Bird has new material hitting the proverbial streets this October. News as such makes this blogger a happy fellow. Dave Lamb is the driving force behind the musical entity that is Brown Bird and he has been a favourite for a few years. See previous post HERE and the…

Song of the Day – Jon Crocker’s “Moved to Nebraska”
Don’t know much about Nebraska – drove through it once and spent the night at a small low rent chain motel on the outskirts of Lincoln. Saw lots of corn fields (from the side of the road), a truck with a personalized license plate with “Hunters” on it and endless 2 door coupes with “support…

In The Post – Thomas Western, The Steals & Trevor Giuliani
What has been circling the submission circles here at the blog? Well a fair amount of stuff! You would think with the sheer amount of music bloggers these days that there aren’t enough artists to go around! ….sorry inside blogger joke, kinda. I thought I would feature 3 artists that all cover different sounds but…

Entranced, but I don’t know why. Okay I do know why – The Singleman Affair
The post title says it all. The track I speak of is “Leaving a Mark”. It is a winding mellow hazy road of a track from the self proclaimed “psychedelic” Chicago resident that might also be known as Dan Schneider. Schneider’s “The Singleman Affair” has a new album called “Let’s Kill the Summer” – which…

Doing the Hometown Proud – The Wailin’ Jennys
So I am not one to shy away from my “roots” (no pun intended). So it is time to represent with some old school tunes (that aren’t actually that old) – but the tracks are from one of my “hometown” bands, the Wailin’ Jennys. I am a previous resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (I’m a…
