Album Of The Day:
Dosh Wolves And Wishes

OK, so I know who Martin Dosh is. I have seen him in person drum for the great Andrew Bird on two seperate occasions. He is an amazing drummer to say the least. And I knew that he had his own project as well. So, why have I waited until now to check it out? […]

April Musings

- I’m about to head out of town for the day…going to see The Weakerthans tonight in NC. It’s probably been a good four years since I’ve seen the band so I’m rather stoked about it.
- Check out Quote Unquote Records. A very cool label idea especially in this musical climate. I suggest checking out […]

Band Dump

OK, this one is a foreign affair.
Foals - These guys are signed to Sub Pop so you will probably see them everywhere shortly. For good reason though. Similar to Bloc Party at times but a lot more experimental in nature.
Boyandroid - German band that reminds me of good, sensitive (emo?) rock like Death Cab For […]

Music Review - Carcrashlander

Carcrashlander “Carcrashlander” (Parks And Records)

Carcrashlander is the project started by Cory Gray. You might not know that name but if you have an album from a Portland band there is probably a good chance he might be playing somewhere on it. Gray is a session player for acts as diverse as The Decemberists, Grails, Norfolk […]

Best Album Covers - Denali

Denali released two excellent albums with distinct but similar covers. Oh Maura!

Best New Music - Borko

BEST NEW MUSIC
Borko “Celebrating Life” (Morr Music)

Morr Music have invaded Iceland it seems. Borko is the label’s third recent Icelandic signing behind Seabear and Benni Hemm Hemm. Oh, and Borko is, in my opinion, the best as well. Borko is the project of Icelandic film/theatre musicican Björn Kristiansson. He has written music for theatre as […]

The No.1 Indie Songwriter in America Today

Music Review - Foxhole

Foxhole “We The Wintering Tree” (Burnt Toast Vinyl)

Spirituality in music is certainly nothing new. Foxhole perhaps took it to another level with their 2004 debut, We The Wintering Tree. The Christian instrumental group wrote and recorded the album in the sanctuary […]

Band Dump

Band Dump is just another excuse for me to make yet another list.
A Great Big Pile Of Leaves - Somebody sent me a link to these guys recently. The vocals get close to that annoying emo whine at times but always recover pretty well. I really like this. You can download the band’s EP, […]

Music Review - Grand Archives

Grand Archives “The Grand Archives” (Sub Pop)

I think Sub Pop must have a trademark on this sound. Grand Archives, like another newer Sub Pop band, Fleet Foxes share a great deal of similarities to older Sub Pop bands like Band Of Horses and The Shins. Once you find something that works, you might as well […]
