Woman Dance Unfortunate – Sad Songs for Blue-Eyed Lovers

Like Jeff Buckley or other R&B soulful crooners with an underlying Jazz vibe? Well, Woman Dance Unfortunate may be up your alley. It’s plenty of piano and drums combined with introspective ooh’s and aah’s inside sorrowful love tales. It’s got a lot of drive and building tension to it as well and some rather simple […]

Volume 70 Download | Stream Truth be told, this edition of the podcast was intended for late summer but time got away from me (as it does). Regardless, there are a lot of strong tracks on here that could easily be contenders for the Best of 2015 list. Don’t be like me, don’t sleep on […]

Milktooth “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”

It’s been a good while since anything’s been released from Milktooth so it’s nice to hear a little something new. Well, new for our ears at least. The song is an 18th Century Carol so it’s been around the block but Milktooth’s take on it is fresh and the video is a true beauty. (Source: […]

Volume 70

Download M4A Download MP3Stream Podcast Another podcast intended for the more summer-y times but still standing the test of time in terms of great, enjoyable, Nashville music. If you didn’t already know these songs, now you do and you’re better off for it. Reconsider your 2015 Best Of list if a handful of these aren’t […]

Idle Bloom “Some Paranoia”

The title track from Idle Bloom’s forthcoming Theory Eight release is now available for your listening pleasure. The EP will be officially available on December 4th, just in time for your Best Of lists.

PUJOL – Kisses EP

Listen to the new PUJOL EP in its entirety. There is plenty of oddness floating about – spoken word, strange samples, tripped out explorations – but it all fits nicely together. Good to see PUJOL keeping it weird.

All Them Witches “Dirt Preachers”

Fantastic new video for All Them Witches “Dirt Preachers” off their new album Dying Surfer Meets His Maker directed by Chad VanGallen. It’s the perfect blend of acid trip mind fuckery and, well, more mind fuckery.  (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

SLACK – Press Your Luck

As you likely saw reported in great depth over on The Cream, it’s been a solid ten years since SLACK recorded at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 with producer Nick Raskulinecz and, ultimately, had to shelve the album. It’s eleven tracks of high energy, big riff rock with just a bit of punk snarl lingering throughout. Glad […]

Johnny Flame and the Jaws of Victory

Did you know John Davis (of Superdrag) has a label where he releases recordings of his own put to high-bias cassette. In his words: “No packaging, no mastering, straight out the back of the mighty Yamaha MT-4X for your enjoyment—the same one that’s been in operation continuously since 1996.” The latest is Johnny Flame and […]

German Error Message – Haunts

I’ve made the comparison between German Error Message and The Microphones previously and I hold true to that! Lumping all haunting bedroom pop cut with a melancholy vibe together would be lazy journalism but there’s a familiarity between Phil Elvrum’s voice and Paul Kintzing’s that works. The overall vibe works quite well in the quiet hours […]
