Here’s one that rushed me down memory lane. Back in 2009, I wrote about one of Akudama’s several free EPs, and the second track featured Gina Cimmelli, of Gina’s Picture Show, on backup vocals. I’m not sure how she ended up as background vocals with this solo talent, but no matter: her new song, “Forget,”… Continue reading [MP3] Gina’s Picture Show: “Forget”

[MP3] Shadow Shadow: “Riviera”
Thanks to a longtime Knox Road reader, @MscTch, I was recently made aware of a stunning new song from the mysterious Swedish act, Shadow Shadow. Rumors abound about the group’s identity, but I don’t want to go making assumptions without knowing the true story here, and I imagine the info will be made public soon,… Continue reading [MP3] Shadow Shadow: “Riviera”

Eli et Papillon release debut full length
If you’ve been following Knox Road for a few years, the name Eli et Papillon may sound familiar because of one of the most bizarre episodes I’ve ever written about. I’m still totally confused about what exactly happened, as are Eli et Papillon. But you know what? It doesn’t matter to either of us anymore,… Continue reading Eli et Papillon release debut full length
Fire and the Wheel
I carefully stuck to the pattern, piece by meticulous piece, and this was my life. I built it up until it no longer had legs to stand on. The pattern became random; I couldn’t keep track. And I was finally happy. This is my life. Fire and the Wheel – “Wheelbarrow de la Muerte” [MP3]… Continue reading Fire and the Wheel
[MP3] Tigermilk: “Talátur”
Tigermilk, aka Paulina Tala, comes to us as a recommendation from blogging buddy Mike Mineo of Obscure Sound. I’ve always enjoyed Mike’s thoughtful artist profiles, so there was little chance Tigermilk would fall off the map. Talátur, off Tigermilk’s upcoming Turi EP, is at once both soothing and sophisticated. The global influence is impressed upon us… Continue reading [MP3] Tigermilk: “Talátur”
Gabe Goodman returns with Midnight Sour EP
My fellow Newtonite (Newton, MA), Gabe Goodman, has resurfaced after last summer’s Friendly Fires EP with the Midnight Sour EP.

He’s still an experimental electronic force, but this time with an… Continue reading Gabe Goodman returns with Midnight Sour EP
