You Say You Spin Life Down

By Rachel | Album Picks | 5 Comments 

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

By Rachel | Album Picks | 6 Comments 

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

By Rachel | 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.

I Call I Want You Back

By Rachel | Music Mix Up | 5 Comments 

I am really tired, the heat has been unbearable. A little overwhelmed from the last 2 days. Just need music.

The debut album from Local Natives has a few great songs, Airplanes, Wide Eyes and Cubism Dream are probably my favorites from the album.

Yellow Wings Floating

By Rachel | Album Picks | 6 Comments 

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.

That There’s A Way Out

By Rachel | Music Mix Up | Leave a Comment 

Something familiar, something I love.

First song that shuffled on tonight was Radiohead, Go Slowly. This is just what I needed, to be taken away into a dream.

I Only Wish I Had Been Kinder

By Rachel | Album Picks | 5 Comments 

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.

No More Can I Say

By Rachel | Music Mix Up | 1 Comment 

This song and specifically this live version shuffled on tonight while on my way home. There was no traffic because I was at work late and the sun was setting and the sky was a beautiful pink and orange hue. I turned it up… Perfection.

Love Fade

By Rachel | Album Picks | 1 Comment 

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.
