James Wallace “Mighty Eye” – Pink House Session

Posted Wed May 27, 2015

I dunno when the Pink House Sessions started but they’ve got a handful of wonderful performances to enjoy. The latest, from James Wallace, is a perfectly intimate acoustic performance that showcases Wallace’s voice in all the right ways. The full story behind the sessions themselves is pretty fascinating – Langhorne Slim purchased the pink home […]

Reno Bo – Lessons from a Shooting Star

Posted Tue May 26, 2015

Preview the first track, “Sweetheart Deal”, from Reno Bo’s forthcoming full-length. It’s some delicious pop peppered with just the right dose of melancholy. The album will be available June 22nd.

Sol Cat – Uno (Preview)

Posted Wed May 20, 2015

I dunno what happened but at some point I decided that Sol Cat was a hippie jam band that wasn’t BAD but just wasn’t in my wheelhouse. However, upon seeing the artwork for their new EP, Uno, I decided to reconsider that baseless opinion and revisit their offerings. If the first track, “Tumbleweed”, is any indication […]

Omniscient Art – The Rift

Posted Wed May 13, 2015

The beauty of browsing Bandcamp to find some new Nashville gem is that sometimes you find something really surprising. The instrumental album, The Rift, from Omniscient Art is influenced by hip-hop, shoegaze, symphonic touches and even the avant-garde. Even the cover art is a treat – glitched out just perfectly so. Definitely did not expect […]

JOTA ESE – Super Dank IV

Posted Tue May 12, 2015

The sounds of JOTA ESE continue to get more realized and immersive with each release. The tracks are, mostly, quite short but they create such a distinct atmosphere in that short amount of time. The samples seem to stem from sources ranging from jazz, hip-hop and conversations snatched from the outside world. It’s often a […]

Broken Bats – Broken Bats EP

Posted Wed May 6, 2015

Matt Bell has a long list of projects under his belt – Silent Friction, Pink Spiders and the Dozen Dimes to name a few. His latest, Broken Bats, comes out of the gate with the kind of rock earnesty you’d expect and hope for. Lots of big riffs, memorable hooks and, for lack of a […]

Truth Clipsy – The LION EP

Posted Wed May 6, 2015

I’ve been a casual fan of Truth Clipsy since he first appeared (on my radar) with JOTA ESE back in 2012. He’s continued to put out a solid body of work since then and continues to do so with The LION. The style of beats runs through a nice varietal – rock influence, club electronics […]
