Twin Cats – Up North (2008)
Some Monday listening for y’all today in the form of Joseph Murphy’s “Twin Cats“. While Murphy is not new to creating and performing music, this is a bit of a new project for Murphy. “Up North” as an album feels and listens like a transition to something new, a beginning of Twin Cats itself (both…

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…

New on the ‘nets this week
So what’s going on out there, what little gifts of news and music do we have? I often get to neglecting the internet for things beyond my control and miss out – so if anyone wants to assist, send me something you think is Slowcoustic News-worthy and maybe we can post it here each Saturday. …

Blackbird Harmony Revisited – with interview
Well this is a bit of a treat this week on Slowcoustic – the interview post! I was lucky enough to get some questions in with John Statz below and now I actually have a follow up to my Blackbird Harmony post (and sister post here) with, you guessed it – some interview questions! Even…

John Statz
I find myself in a bit of bounty of good music lately – I know, there are worse things, but it can be overwhelming. You end up listening to soo much that it is hard to actually listen, I mean really listen. This is why I am posting on John Statz – I had a…

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…

A daily discovery – Solomon’s Hollow
Well my daily discovery a few weeks back will be your daily discovery today. Ladies and gentleman, I bring you the rolling stone named Nate A. Nate currently records and performs under the guise of “Solomon’s Hollow” – and if you take a look at his MySpace page you will find out the name is…

The Piano Creeps – “Future Blues (For Me And You)” (2008)
The Piano Creeps, is just that – what your mind’s eye might think a “creeping” piano might actually sound like. If you are a bit confused, it is the beautiful sound of this trio from Ithaca, New York. So, the sound. Think of a soundtrack to a movie that plays just a little too slow…

Little Bear – Army of Trees EP
Little Bear has a great little release in the form of a 4 track EP entitled “Army of Trees” that is recently collected, recorded and released for all to have. “All to have” as it is a complimentary download! We all like free music, but I think we often push aside free music as “not…

New on the ‘nets this week
So I did it again, got all caught up in my life and ignored the blog on a Friday. Sure there was the day job, sure there was a going away party for a colleague in a downtown hotel, sure I live about an hour drive from downtown. This does not warrant a snub to…

Talons’ – Songs for Babes
So if you are into bedroom folk (hey, mind out of the gutter!) than I have the guy for you. Talons’ is the guy and he is just recording songs about babes…I guess. No seriously, this album from the Bark N Hiss label is a great collection of lo-fi singer songwriter recordings. Moments of charm,…

Jeff Zentner – Hymns to the Darkness, and upcoming album alert.
So we all know I can appreciate down-tempo music – whether it be indie, songwriter, Americana and yes even electronic. When I get my hands on something good, whether it be by an suggestion from a friend, artist submission or found on another blog I will most likely latch on for keeps and try to…
