Oh How They Sparkle
Filed Under Album Picks | 2 Comments
The new album from Blonde Redhead is their best album to date. A melancholy slow-moving waltz that is both a delicate and atmospheric melody combined with a heavy sensual drone. This is a welcome progression from their dreamy-pop on their previous album 23.

Pull The Past Behind You
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
“Pull the past behind you” and lets cruise into the weekend together while listening to the new album from Land of Talk. Cloak and Cipher is the follow up album to their 2008 debut and was pieced together while Elizabeth Powell was recovering from a hemorrhaged polyp and silenced not to speak for 6 months. She recovered triumphantly and released a great sophomore album.

You Say You Spin Life Down

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

We Were Meant To See

The weather outside today was perfection. Cloudy, cold and just a light drizzle. Bliss.
Just the right weather for a little S. Carey, he recently took some time from drumming for Bon Iver to make his debut album, All We Grow. He has some beautiful folk melodies on this debut.

Dream About Changing
Filed Under Album Picks | 2 Comments
I just can’t help but tap my foot to this song. Sally Seltmann creates melodic pop that dances right into your heart and brings a little spring to your step with her new album, Heart That’s Pounding. Up until this album she was best known for New Buffalo.

Yellow Wings Floating

Enjoying the indie-folk music of Ferraby Lionheart at the moment. His new album, The Jack of Hearts just floats right into your heart.
His music reminds me a little of a younger version of Bob Dylan meets Morrissey and they have a crazy weekend in Nashville, I like it.

There has been so much music flowing through my ears lately that I am just getting to the new album from The Weepies. It was released in August and they will be touring all over the States in October-November.
Delicious folk-pop, like eating candy. Their music makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect after a very long dreadful day.

Love Fade

Welcoming everyone back after a long Holiday weekend here in the States.
A debut album from Tamaryn, which is a hazy guitar driven sort of dream-pop… the subject matter makes me want to weep into my pillow. It is still quite beautiful and certainly noteworthy. I love this track.

Someday Will Not Come Again
Filed Under Album Picks | 4 Comments
The first thing I did when I got home was download the new Dead Heart Bloom album, Strange Waves.
The 9 track record takes you on a dreamy guitar driven ambient-folk carpet ride that I never want to end. I could sit and read the lyrics like poetry. A definite progression in their music and I am loving every moment.
A must for 2010 – Buy it here and support the artist directly.
