The Black Atlantic’s “Reverence For Fallen Trees” for breakout album of the year?
Introduced and recommended to me from the good folks at The Waiting Room (see them on the blogroll to your right please) – The Black Atlantic are currently on hardcore repeat over here. As soon as you spin it a bit, you will feel the same way I am sure. The Album is Reverence for…

Doby Watson’s “Twenty Two” shines on Orchid Collective
So the unassuming Orchid Collective surprises again. This label keeps on churning out solid talent – why are not more people falling over themselves?? I guess it shows that the general public finds all it’s taste in it’s mouth. But that is for another time…. The “Collective” have provided myself with a full roster of…

Andrew Bryant’s “Galilee” makes me a believer
I have waited on this one, and I don’t know why. The new album from Andrew Bryant came out July 9th, 2009 and is Bryant’s 5th release to date. This album is right at the top of my indie folk rock stack of releases, and for good reason. So this stack of indie folk rock…

Newest facination: foreign female singer-songwriters! Haruko’s “Wild Geese” being the reason
Sorry for some downtime on the blog lately, life getting in the way: Family visiting, little access to the “spare room” or “Slowcoustic Headquarters” as I know it. Also quit the day job on Friday – newly working for private business (no longer a corporate monkey) on web & marketing! Very excited. So I have…

What are the best EPs of 2009? I have an idea (and, of course, a list)
I have heard a bit of chatter in the music blogging circles that this year is pretty good for EPs. You know the “almost album”, the “we didn’t have enough material/had too much material” release. Also the “just too short for an full album”, but a decent collection of 4-6 songs or so that need…

Get Your Pre-Order on: Lightning Dust’s “Infinite Light”
Recommendations, recommendations. Bloggers have many. Most are pretty decent recommendations and for the most part we (hopefully) know what we are talking about. As I often talk out of my ass, take what I say with a grain of salt – I obsess on bands or albums or songs, so when I am listening –…

New Favourite – Sea of Bees
So after my Ladies Night post on the weekend, I am really getting into Sea of Bees. I mean getting enthralled with Sea of Bees is more accurate – I can’t stop listening. This one is going to be big for me I think. She (Julie Bees) is but 24 years of age and has…

Albums of note at IODA. It’s a new(ish) release frenzy!
So I often use the good folks at IODA (Independent Online Distribution Alliance) Promonet at this blog. It just makes sense, an organization that offers pre-cleared music from new, old and every other kind of album around?? They don’t have everything, but they sure have enough to select from. Any bloggers reading this that…

Jeffrey Luck Lucas releases “The Lion’s Jaw”, discusses the album, tours and if “Luck” is really his name!
“The heart of a cur keeping time with her bedroom eyes.” ~JLL The upcoming album from Jeffrey Luck Lucas entitled “The Lion’s Jaw” should be out any second and from the few tracks I have heard it is going to be another incredible album. This is a top album in the “looking forward to in…

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…

What I’m Listening To This Weekend. You Should Be Too.
So what will be spinning around the homestead this weekend? Well see below for a breakdown of talent on tap – it is a bit all over the map (not really), but at least there is a bit of selection I think. This is all subject to change as I will be hitting the streets…

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…
