Beauty in Pairs – Sarah Winchester and Tara Jane O’Neil
So I stumbled across a little bit of a sampler a week or so ago. Somehow found it while floundering around various links on the interwebs due to my love of the Sarah Winchester EP (posted on it here – Highly Recommended). Turns out that this Cascadia compilation hosted a pre-release version of “Oh the…

Kathryn Williams and Neill MacColl unveil “Two” June 9th.
If there’s an over-arching idea to the album, it’s about how to capture a moment before it’s lost forever. The album was written, recorded and mixed in a little over two weeks- a miniscule timescale in these times of recording, re-recording and digitally manipulating every note of every part played. This is a record in…

Alessi’s Ark & Catherine A.D. peel the covers and ease you into your day.
Wake up folks, it’s Saturday and it is eerily close to summer here in Calgary and I know this as my first good patio experience was yesterday. Well…the basics were there at least – sun, suds, good food and good conversation. Despite me and my wife wearing most of her sister’s balsamic dressing due to…

After One Listen Review – Joshua Barton’s “Thanks, I Missed You, Too”
When Joshua suggested I listen to his album, I thought to myself – “Oh great, another musician emailing to tell me I need to listen to his music! Why do all these damn musicians…er, wait. Joshua Barton?” Okay, to be honest, I don’t mind getting emails recommending music – I am a music blogger, it…

Acoustic Dakota Suite on “They Shoot Music Don’t They?” + bonus MP3s
Very nice haunting of the Viennese Hotel Fürstenhof. Ever find yourself wanting for a lonely day, or simply need to unwind – Dakota Suite is here. They will provide you with their melancholy a la post rock singer-songwriter persona to be the one to walk you down that winding path into dusk. Sometimes ethereal, sometimes…

Lest We Forget – Previous Post Follow Ups – Nathan Xander, Del Barber & His Name Shall Breathe!
Don’t forget about the past and things you once loved or enjoyed immensely. In this fast paced world, we can move past things too quickly and honestly not always give everyone/everything all the time it deserves. I have decided to start a post series that I will go back and do a “where are they…

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,…

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,…
