Doghouse Roses – How’ve you Been (all this time)?
The 10 original songs, written during 2007, capture tales of small town frustrations, hard fought triumphs and a constant need to be moving partly inspired by the motorway that carves through the centre of their hometown, Glasgow. The album was recorded with producer Malcolm Lindsay (Willard Grant Conspiracy, The Delgados) after they were invited by…

New Jitney Album Released on Rock Proper!
A busted leg, a year plus recovering and two years driving a taxicab came between Casey Meehan’s Violet and his new project Jitney. Kind faces, cruel faces, always going somewhere, were the wildflower seeds planted in the cracked leather backseat that grew into these songs. 6pm to 6am, 6 nights becoming dawns each week, with…

Matt Jones – Michigan talent pool finds even more depth
The photo above features Matt Jones. Matt Jones is more or less new to me. The fact that the trailer in the photo above is made by John Deere is not lost on me. Michigan isn’t just the city of Detroit. Michigan is as vast as it’s songwriter talent pool is deep. This fact says…

Slowcoustic Essentials – J. Tillman
Whatever you want to call him or do call him – “J. Tillman”, “Josh Tillman”, “Tills”, “J.T.” – he is still the pinnacle of the hushed singer songwriter, period. This is why J. Tillman is ultimately deserving of being essential listening to those who enjoy Slowcoustic style music. J. Tillman has been on the scene…

New on the ‘Nets this Week
So glad it is the weekend this time. Long week (in my mind at least) and I just want to relax, maybe listen to some music, surf the net and possibly (re: most likely) enjoy a couple of pints of Canadian lager. Just sounds like a great weekend to me. Let’s see what went on…

If you haven’t heard – Magnolia Summer
Hey, if you haven’t heard….”Magnolia Summer”! Welcome again kiddies to another installment of “If You Haven’t Heard” and the band in question – Magnolia Summer. This St. Louis based “rock” band (as they describe themselves) is a bit of a collection of friends that have been interchanged over the past few years under the moniker…

Fields of Industry – Michigan wins again!
Fields of Industry…kind of like “Captains of Industry” only like with a field, or something with a touch more hazy drug influenced backgrounds. So, yeah. What is going on here is some indie-psych soundtrack from Lansing Michigan entitled “Fields of Industry”. I am fairly new to FoI and not necessarily up to date with my…

Would the real DCFC stand up?
Just a taster of the new husband&wife (via Vimeo performances) with two tracks from the upcoming album “Dark Dark Woods”. Is it bad that I think they are the Death Cab for Cutie of 2009 (maybe with a touch less “indie pop”)? I have to say the new album sounds pretty good, a bit catchy,…

The Best Unknown Artist I Still Don’t Know
Basket of Figs is a seriously entrancing singer songwriter from Toronto, Canada. There…you have as much information about her as I do. Well, almost. Did you ever listen to music that simply amazes you? Everyone needs to, and I recently experienced it with the EP entitled “666” from Basket of Figs obtained through the Yer…
