Cranes & Crows – Blame Winter (2008)
While linking through some of my MySpace artists that I have already posted on, I came across a connected artist that I should have already found, and didn’t know why I had missed it. Cranes & Crows is the work of Paul Brandt who has worked with the previously profiled project, The Cloud Hymn, and…

Lisa Cerbone
Pixie voiced songstress Lisa Cerbone enters your ears and washes over you, sending melodies to assist in falling deeply into a relaxed state. But wait…don’t get too relaxed, you don’t want to miss anything! This is how I feel hearing the songs of Cerbone, I feel her stories soothe and keep me listening over and…

Bosco and the Lonely Drunks
So other than this self imposed mugshot photo of Marcus Jönsson (aka Bosco), I don’t know much about this Swede. I tried to contact him through through his MySpace page and got no response, and there is not much new material there outside of some upcoming live gigs, so here it is a post none…

Make it up to you music post!
Well I have to apologize for yesterday…no post! Please accept my apology as I kneel down before you, the internet. Now, I don’t know what a good “wanna be blogger” is doing trying to have a life and going out and enjoying a bit of the good times and ignoring you all? Honestly, I needed…

Joanne Robertson – The Lighter (2008)
The new album from Joanne Robertson currently out on Textile Records is currently my favourite lo-fi female singer songwriter spinning my iTunes. This album is bleak, stark, ominous and incredibly good, I mean I am not going to cover something I don’t like…I don’t think. I am starting to digress as I can’t think of…

Del Barber – “Where the City Ends”
Okay I am not going to lie to you here…I am partial to Del Barber. I have never met Del, or even spoken to him face to face, but alas I got this guys back. Why you ask? He is a good old ‘pegger! For those of you who are unaware of the term “pegger”,…

Sheltered In Sound – Field Recordings From the City
“Sheltered in Sound makes music to lean into” That phrase comes directly from the artist bio for Sheltered In Sound and I am trying not to simply ignore it as a general “advertisement” for a style of music that many consider “comfortable”. For some, “comfortable” can be confused for complacent background music or something that…

If You Haven’t Heard – Ghosts I’ve Met
Well here we are at the 3rd installment of “If You Haven’t Heard” and I have some beautiful Americana ballads from “Ghosts I’ve Met”. So put down your whiskey and grab the one that you want to hang onto and press play, you won’t be disappointed. Sam Watts is the heart of this “rotating cast”…

Quintin Nadig’s Sunday beauty
Two Beautiful examples of sparse independent music this blustery (well where I am at least) Sunday. I need better headphones… But I digress, so the other week, I was perusing the internet (like a good blogger) and looking for something to sink my teeth into. I found it in Quintin Nadig’s two releases “Anchor Details”…
