  • Blue Giant – Target Heart EP

    Just heard some promo stuff for Blue Giant’s debut EP entitled “Target Heart”.  Not too shabby I must say – but with the group more or less being made up of the members from The Decemberists, Viva Voce, the Swords Project, & The Golden Bears – how bad could it be really with this “who’s…

  • New music – the peptides

    So here we are with the down-tempo section of the class today – ladies and gents, here are the peptides! Despite sounding like a 50’s digestive aid, “the peptides” were a welcome surprise in my inbox.  I have also discovered that the peptides are actually the pseudo art project of singer/songwriter Claude Marquis, with assistance…

  • The Gunshy – I Gave Too Much Time To The Wine

    and other collected eps. So received my shiny new CD from The Gunshy last week.  Didn’t you?  If you didn’t, do you have a worthy excuse?  Go on, explain yourself. The Gunshy’s “I Gave Too Much Time To The Wine and other collected eps” is the most recent release from the good folks over at…

  • Geri X – Another Friday Discovery

    So here is a “Friday Discovery” for all ya out there.  I can honestly say that I just discovered Geri X for myself and have been listening for the entire evening now (it’s Thursday night as I write this). Geri X can be described ultimately as “Folk” music.  This isn’t enough, just one word, she…

  • Deer Tick – War Elephant (re-issue)

    So just a quick one today as I am just on the go (or something along those lines) and I apologize for not giving this release the full attention and praise it should get.  The Album is “War Elephant” from Deer Tick, a great release from last year that was just re-released 2 days ago…

  • hitide.lotide – The Forest

    I have a treat for you all today, in the project of Nate Gruber and his cast of friends that make up this Wisconsin forest that is Hitide.Lotide. Gruber is a multi-instrumentalist and you can tell this fact from the music he creates.  It is however difficult to create such sounds outside a studio if…

  • Slowcoustic Song of the Week

    Just so everyone knows that I now have a song of the week, and folks this is it. I have recently picked up the Callers Album “Fortune” that was released this past August and fully missed them if it weren’t for my Western Vinly playlist.  The more I listen, the more I enjoy this album. …

  • Auld Lang Syne

    Auld Lang Syne can be a bit of a raucous band for the Slowcoustic regulars, but sometimes some of the best toned down music comes from more up tempo artists, simply at 3/4 speed.  If you think of the classic Auld Lang Syne (the New Year’s eve song after which they are named), they would…

  • Frontier Ruckus – The Orion Songbook (2008)

    I have been trying to hold back on this post for a couple of weeks until it was closer to the album’s release (I don’t know why), but I have to post already!  So here we have Frontier Ruckus’ first full length album and it has been well worth the wait.  Spectacular down home traditional…

  • Jason Anderson – Life Sucks Love Sucks Dose Out

    Just a quick one today for you Sunday Bloggin’ folks.  This one is quick, but worth stopping and listening to. I have been a bit of a fan of Jason Anderson (or Wolf Colonel at one point) for previous albums such as “The Wreath” in 2005 and “Tonight” in 2007 released on K Records.   Anderson…

  • Brian Borcherdt – Coyotes (2008)

    So I don’t know why I have been waiting on this release for this long.  I have been telling everyone I can about how much I love the new album from Brian Borcherdt.  I tell you people, this album is probably my #1 album this year (go ahead start judging me!) – but I don’t…
