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…

Color of Clouds – The Look EP out now!
It might not just be the color (or colour as I know it…sorry, inside joke) of clouds, but more so the weightless feeling you get while transfixed by the movement of them. If the movement could be translated, it just might be the ambient indie pop that is “Color of Clouds”. The new Color of…

I Was Reminded How Much I Love Lewis & Clarke, Now It’s Your Turn.
A friend recommended and sent me a copy of the new Lewis & Clarke’s “Light Time”. That friend is Tim Showalter (or Strand of Oaks, and fellow label mate of L&C) and I can’t thank him enough and I have to say, I was reminded how much I get lost in the beauty of almost…

Alexi Murdoch Soundtracks “Away We Go”, plus bonus live tracks!
Alexi Murdoch, yes that Alexi Murdoch. Not just for the teen dramas anymore! Seriously though, a favourite for a long time for great singer songwriter quality is Alexi Murdoch. He has that calming voice, delicate guitar work and just a great vibe. What wouldn’t his music be good for? An afternoon lazing around the house,…

Jeff Zentner – The Dying Days of Summer {and giveaway}
I have held off on this post for a few weeks due to giving the album a few listens prior to sending on the recommendation. Jeff is a great guy with some solid singer-songwriter chops, but you always have to make sure, sometimes new albums take a new path, some divert down side roads in…

Sam Lowry’s “With/Without” – hits the spot.
I have been in a bit of a funk lately. For a guy who routinely listens to “sad bastard music”, this can be a bit of a deep hole to dig out of. So with this in mind, I have found solace in the singer songwriter (surprise), but one that comes with a signature voice. …

Sean Rowe’s New Album is “Magic”
When you hear Sean Rowe start up, you can’t help but picture a gothic version of the South, or what I envision what the South would be like. As I don’t really know much of the real South and I am sure many residents of this mythical “South” would guffaw at this Canadian, I still…

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Edmonton’s Eamon McGrath. First showing on Slowcoustic had Eamon on a playlist here with…

It Seems Like Only Days Since Scott Matthew Was On The Blog
Well friends it was but merely days – or a couple of posts ago that I posted on Scott Matthew! I am getting into the new album from Mr. Matthew and despite what some call “overwrought” I call pretty darn good (I’m lookin’ at you Morgan – HA!). I know you can get overwhelmed with…

Weinland’s “Breaks In The Sun” Follow Up
So I first mentioned the new Weinland album here and indicated it was one of the albums to look forward to. Now that it has been released as of last week, I can say, it is well worth it. The album has been spinning for almost 2 months around here and it is a great…
