I Know A Color Blue
Filed Under Album Picks | 8 Comments
I have been meaning to post about Agnes Obel for quite some time, but I just couldn’t find the right time until now. Her beautiful somber melodies are just what I wanted to hear tonight. Philharmonics is only available in Europe or through iTunes, I highly recommend it.
Voices in the street, footsteps on the concrete
Guess I hear just every sound on the ground
From my window view, I know a color blue
that can bite so very hard, the day apart
Picture fresh as water clear
days have passed without you here
Street lights dancing on the dark across the park
Waiting for a word from you, waiting for a sign or two
Footsteps on the city ground, you know the sound
Brother Sparrow, come tomorrow to my window
Brother Sparrow, come tomorrow to my window– Agnes Obel

I am quiet this evening. Calm, contemplative and a little lazy. Brad Senne’s delicate folk melodies are the perfect accompaniment for this night…

Lay Low is the musical project of LovÃsa ElÃsabet Sigrúnardóttir an Icelandic country/folk singer-songwriter. Yes, you read that correctly, a combination of Loretta Lynn meets Sigur Rós and I like it.

I Can Hear Your Music

I got on the freeway tonight after work and it was backed up for miles, quickly exited and headed South to the coast. I took Pacific Coast Hwy all the way home, and enjoyed the cold crisp night with the window slightly open and my ipod shuffling. I realized how lucky I am and what an amazing and privileged life I live… I am taking Pacific Coast Hwy home from now on.
I have been listening to The Memory Machine for a couple of weeks now and it is just beautiful from beginning to end. Julia Stone‘s vocals are angelic, hushed and delicate.

Many Moons

I recently came across the music of Lia Ices and fell head over heels in love with her sultry, passionate melodies. The debut album Necima was released in 2008 and it is stunning. Her new album Grown Unknown is set to be released in January and I can hardly wait.
Few words tonight… I think it is best to let the music speak for itself. xX

You can say Fistful of Mercy can be defined as a super group… The band is compiled of Joseph Arthur, Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison (George Harrison’s son). They create a mix of singer-songwriter melodies infused with a bluesy folk rock. I am digging their debut album and I think you will as well. Enjoy. xX

So I kind of took a impromptu vacay from the little bloggy blog. Life kind of just caught up with me for a moment. I have been thinking about posting for days, just couldn’t get within typing distance. But I am here now! Yay!
Came across Sarah Jaffe, her full length debut was released back in April… She certainly caught my ear with her emotional singer-songwriter folk, one listen and you will be hooked just as I was. Enjoy! xx

I melt when I hear Laura Marling sing… Melt into a puddle on the ground. Her smokey singer-songwriter folk songs combine with deep complicated lyrics, impressive… Beautiful. I love this new album…
