It’s not easy to give much of an insightful review on a 14-minute improvised drone performance but I can’t help but be excited about the existence of these sounds emitting from a Nashville based artist. We’re all well aware of the fact that Nashville is so much more than pop country and schlocky rock but […]
I love an ambitious undertaking and the 32′s project from Dirty Bandana’s project certainly falls into that category. From the horses mouth: This is an experiment. It became obvious to me that I needed to produce art. So I decided to write and record 32 measures of music every weekday. For now it’s just me […]
The first song from HeCTA was official released today. The band, consisting of Kurt Wagner, Ryan Norris and Scott Martin, is likely not what you’d expect to hear when you see Wagner’s name. It’s heavily beat driven, dance-y and a conscious effort to create outside of the norm. The full album, The Diet, will be […]
There’s a certain breed of lo-fi, drawling, loose psych rock that Nashville manages to do quite well. I’d not heard of MELT or BUMMRcity prior to this split but I’d be willing to bet they are a sweaty good time to see live.
YoursTruly – BULLY Great piece from YT and Frannie Kelley about Bully, the history of the band, their dynamics and some interesting insight on Nashville in general. It’s a fine read in which we should all partake.
AIRELINE – Sons and Daughters Kickstarter Campaign After ten years of radio silence, AIRELINE has returned with a batch of new songs and a request to fans to help them pay for recording them. They were always a solid, highly enjoyable, band when they were active and from the sounds of the new track, they […]
A beautiful, quiet, intimate video directed by Elise Tyler. The NPR writeup does a great job of explaining the backstory but it’s a wonderful piece of work. Having personal insight into Tyler’s day is nice but for all the, warranted, lamenting of New Nashville, it’s nice to have a time capsule like this to showcase […]
Another quality Pink House session is now available. The heartbreak pouring out of these two is almost too much for a Friday morning. Almost. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
I love it when I stumble across an artist I’ve never heard of and their Bandcamp offerings are marked as “Demo†– yet they stand as compelling, finished pieces of work. The two tracks available from Also This are great. There’s a great combo of effected guitar tones and languid vocals. Who cares that this is […]
Though Jim Valosik’s EXVRBS project is described as “dark fingerstyle acoustic guitar†there’s clearly more going on here with this new release. This is not your standard acoustic dicking around. It’s two relatively short tracks but they show Mr. Valosik has plenty of ideas to share outside of a four word quick description.
The first track from repeat repeat’s forthcoming sophomore album, floral canyon, has been released and it’s got a compelling, fuzzy, dark vibe to it. Can’t wait to hear more of this.
