Oliver Thiessen made his debut on Slowcoustic in October 2008. We knew back then that Oliver was talent and we couldn’t wait for his first full-length album. Here is a little he said / she said from Slowcoustic HQ

When you don’t know much, you let the music tell the story – Ehroehed
So I don’t know how I got a hold of these songs, but I recently found them again. They are not even on an album as far as I know and I can’t find too much on this Vancouver artists. I think I might have discovered Ehroehed a few years back due to a 3hive…

It doesn’t cost a thing to slow down – Just ask Jack James
You know you are here as you enjoy the hushed delivery and molasses cadence of some great music. So when you receive notice on an album called “Lights Off, Headphones On”…you should look into it.

Today, I am thankful for great acoustic videos
This is just one of the ones that Slowcoustic favourite The Black Atlantic recommended just this morning over on Musikmob. Just thought I would post one of the two great videos from Nadja out of Germany – or as she is known is recording circles: binoculers.

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.

Basket of Figs – Dead Language
Back again with the new EP from Basket of Figs. This Toronto phenom is known for her EP releasing (maybe an album upcoming….maybe…) and they all are self released and incredibly dark, stunning lo-fi experiences. I have said it before and I will say it again, you feel drawn into her voice, it is like…

John Goraj – A “Possible” Interview
Well folks it is more than “possible”, it is in fact a post and interview with John Goraj. Some may not know of this northern prairie boy, but you just might need to. I first heard John Goraj when fellow blogger Olivier over on You Crazy Dreamers put a post on him, and I took…

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…

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…

A Trip Through The Slowcoustic Inbox
**pictured above is the entrance to Slowcoustic Artist Submission offices Thought I would do a overview of some recent submissions to the blog. I do get a fair amount, not as much as others (how many sad bastards can there be, really?) and they deserve some play. Below are a few selections of bands, artists…
