  • Slowcoustic Recommends…Thomas J Speight

    Sure you find yourself trolling the internet for music, listen to websites, discuss with friends, but sometimes it finds you.  This is what happens when you have a music blog – people find you and often it is so-so, sometimes it is horrible, and now and again you find something that you really like.  I…

  • The Antlers “new” Album Hospice, gets me back on board

    So I know it was available, I know it was getting some pretty good press from fellow bloggers.  I just didn’t immediately take the “real listen”.  I don’t know why.  I might have be the deluge of music the last few months, finding another couple of releases that took over my listening, work or general…

  • Justin Rutledge on Camera Music!

    I am a HUGE fan of Scott Cudmore’s Camera Music series on AUX TV and he has provided another awesome episode with Justin Rutledge (looking forward to seeing him this summer here in Calgary).  In familiar Camera Music fashion there is a “day in the life” feel to the series – you can definitely find…

  • Thinking Warmer Thoughts With “Hot” Playlist: June Snow in Calgary Mix

    I am a little sad as I awoke to snow on the ground this June.  Yes, snow in June.  I know many of you are thinking…”But Sandy, you live in Calgary….that is in Canada!”.  Damn it, it still shouldn’t snow in June.  I have already had my sunburn from a couple weeks back fade and…

  • 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…

  • What’s new around Slowcoustic HQ? Well….

    Just sitting around in the “war room” of the internet media distribution centre here at Slowcoustic and was just doing a status check.  I know what you are thinking – “But Sman, this could take years of 3rd party inspections, focus groups, revenue audits…it’s not worth it!”.  Well friends, let’s do it the old fashion…
