Old Smog (and new Bill Callahan) on tap for my Sunday
Just getting into the new Bill Callahan album “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” which is due on April 14th through Drag City. While it is definitely Bill, it is a new Bill Callahan – He might have soared like said eagle and just maybe moved on from the classic Smog sound. Okay,…

Sorry, Unavailable on Tuesday, Me & Will Oldham Are Catching Up.
Going to the BPB concert here in Calgary on Tuesday, March 24th and am getting excited. Word is that the show is pretty darn good (various twitter feeds from fellow bloggers indicate as such). Apparently a good mix of new and old material, so that is always a promising situation when an artist has such…

The Cloud Hymn – New Album & Interview
The day has come (or actually tomorrow, March 3rd) and we have the release of the debut album from “The Cloud Hymn”. I have been waiting for this album for a while now ever since I started listening to a few demos last year and was so impressed, that I had to post then…on just…

husband&wife – “Dark Dark Woods”
I have previously posted on husband&wife (yes, there is no space in the band name – it is like its one word) and I have been advised that today (Jan. 29th) there will be an appearance from h&w on the indie hit-maker Daytrotter. This is exciting, I think the new album (due on Feb. 24th…

Doghouse Roses – How’ve you Been (all this time)?
The 10 original songs, written during 2007, capture tales of small town frustrations, hard fought triumphs and a constant need to be moving partly inspired by the motorway that carves through the centre of their hometown, Glasgow. The album was recorded with producer Malcolm Lindsay (Willard Grant Conspiracy, The Delgados) after they were invited by…

Matt Jones – Michigan talent pool finds even more depth
The photo above features Matt Jones. Matt Jones is more or less new to me. The fact that the trailer in the photo above is made by John Deere is not lost on me. Michigan isn’t just the city of Detroit. Michigan is as vast as it’s songwriter talent pool is deep. This fact says…

Slowcoustic Essentials – J. Tillman
Whatever you want to call him or do call him – “J. Tillman”, “Josh Tillman”, “Tills”, “J.T.” – he is still the pinnacle of the hushed singer songwriter, period. This is why J. Tillman is ultimately deserving of being essential listening to those who enjoy Slowcoustic style music. J. Tillman has been on the scene…

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…

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…

I’m a bit slow and possibly daft – Frightened Rabbit!
So as this post title goes, I am a bit slow and possibly daft (emphasis on the “daft”) as I have just started listening to the newest Frightened Rabbit album – “The Midnight Organ Fight”. Did I mention I might be daft? I have been listening since mid last week or so and I have…
