I only now stumbled across this Kings of Convenience video, which came out a month ago, for their song “Boat Behind”. I dare you not to feel nostalgic while watching this video much better suited for summer days than the wintry mix we’re coming upon in the U.S. Hopefully this gets you psyched for tomorrow’s… Continue reading [Video] Kings of Convenience: “The Boat Behind”

We Are The Willows, the solo-project of singer/songwriter Peter Miller, will release A Collection Of Sounds And Something Like the Plague November 24.

We Are The Willows… Continue reading We Are The Willows to release full-length album

Hawksley Workman finally set to release debut 2000 album, For Him and the Girls, in the U.S.
And not only that, he’s also announced a few tour dates in the U.S. as well (his first ones here since 2006!) Americans rejoice! A rocking Canadian, Hawksley Workman has been one of those artists that’s only slightly punctured the surface for me, simply because I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to enough of… Continue reading Hawksley Workman finally set to release debut 2000 album, For Him and the Girls, in the U.S.
[MP3] New Doveman: “Angel’s Share”
Thanks to Dave at The Rawking Refuses To Stop! (well, more specifically, his twitter,) I was made aware of Doveman‘s latest track, “Angel’s Share”, which just premiered on Stereogum.

Lights Out Asia
The Knox Road email isn’t currently working on my computer, so a post about a band I’ve been listening a lot to lately will have to suffice. But don’t worry, you’re not getting gypped – my music taste is your music taste, right? Right?? Hmm… Regardless of your answer to that last (rhetorical) question, I… Continue reading Lights Out Asia
Yael Meyer to release new EP
Layered electronica. Acoustic guitar. Hushed female vocals. Yael Meyer. Oh, and bells, bells, bells. Meyer, a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, was born in Santiago de Chile and moved to the United States at 19 to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston. She’s no longer that wide-eyed 19-year-old, currently spending her time in LA, yet… Continue reading Yael Meyer to release new EP
In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
I know you’ve been way too absorbed in the incredibly suspenseful baseball playoffs to read Knox Road this week. I mean, it’s great to see such parity in baseball with none of the big market teams in the playoffs! (Yes, I am being sarcastic about something that people have been sarcastic about for, well, ever.… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
[MP3] Digits: “Nonstop”
Digits, the electronic indie pop project of Alt Altman, released his first full album, Hold It Close, on September 22. Altman, out of Toronto, typically sings with deep, monotone vocals over his layered electronic beats, but the song “Nonstop” features slightly more ranging vocals – something we take to kindly here at Knox Road. “Nonstop”… Continue reading [MP3] Digits: “Nonstop”
