Idle Bloom Some Paranoia Full EP

In case you missed it, the entire Some Paranoia EP from Idle Bloom is now available for streaming. It’s incredibly good and I imagine requires many repeated listens.

Idle Bloom “Pride Line”

Another preview track from the forthcoming Idle Bloom release, Some Paranoia (out tomorrow – Dec 4th). Sounds like they’ve really fleshed out and pushed their big riff rock sound even further. Loving what I’m hearing.

Direct to Cassette

Is there an irony in calling your band Direct to Cassette and then only releasing the songs digitally? Probably but that’s not the matter at hand. These three tracks are an experimental undertaking between Andrew Harlan and Josh Marberry – two long time friends and film composers. The results are ambient, drone-y, a bit noisey and […]

ELEL “When She Walks” Listen to this live performance from the Pilgrimage Music & Culture Festival this past September in Franklin. 

PUJOL – Live @ WKDU

PUJOL thrives in a live environment. It’s definitely a different beast than his records (especially lately) but that’s a good thing. The songs take on new life; often much more emphatic and a bit manic. 

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.
