Friday Quickies – Jive White Boy’s “Knives That Stab Your Face”
Other than the title of this post sounding wrong or completely wrong and even possibly disturbingly wrong – here we are with a quick Friday post with that great title! I have to apologize to the JWB himself that this is not a full treatment of Slowcoustic love, but I will make it up and…

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,…

Lanterns on the Lake & Last.fm – perfect match
This is why I love music and love Last.fm. Lanterns on the Lake (discovered via Agnes over on It All Started with Carbon Monoxide) is a lush and soothing soundscape via rainy day England. Now with the help of Last.fm, you too can stare longingly at the ground while possibly swaying back and forth getting…

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…

Slowcoustic Essentials – Jason Molina
Jason Molina. The man of many faces (or identities at least) in the realm of what many might call “indie” music. He just might be the “essential of essentials” for the type of music I love. Whether he is Magnolia Electric Co., Songs: Ohia or even just Jason Molina…this guy should be a staple in…

Have a Slowcoustic New Year!
So nothing to post today as it is December 31st and I need to try and entertain the wife while not spending more than my mortgage payment and not end up being disappointed regardless. You know what this means….take out and a movie!! Seriously, have a great New Year and all the best in the…

Bringing you up to speed on Travel By Sea
Travel by Sea. One of the most interesting stories I have heard in a while, well heard a couple of years ago at least. One that I always like telling as it is a great one. It goes a little like this…two guys who have never met record some music and put it together. It…

New on the ‘Nets this week(ish)
So I have been out of the loop a bit with the holidays and such, and I have been a bit behind on catching up with what is going on in the world of music blogging lately, but here we go on another “New on the ‘Nets this week” post. ~~ Received my copy of…

Seagull
Seagull is not a band nor a boy, it is a sound that comes out of your speakers to remind you of your first love and how much you thought you knew. That description comes from the Two Bright Lakes page in the bio for Seagull, a band, sorry, a project from an Australian foursome…

School of Seven Bells – Video, Songs and Links!
So another quick post, but this one is chalk full of media. School of Seven Bells is a band I have wanted to post on for a while. The album is still in the listening stages at Slowcoustic Headquarters, but it is climbing up the in-house charts. Let’s open up with a nice acoustic video…
