Dayliner just released their latest monthly song, this time titled “Mrs. Kuwaltz”, and I’m starting to think it’s my favorite song yet from them – mostly because of the enormous potential on display. It strays a bit from their previous arrangements and shows us that they may have a little progressive rock in them yet.… Continue reading Dayliner releases April song, “Mrs. Kuwaltz”

With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov. Fittingly, Exit Clov will be starting their East Coast tour in D.C. at the Black Cat on April 1 (as Jamie noted) and then right… Continue reading Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

Some relaxing, yet fulfilling music to start your day off, that’s for sure. Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (out of NYC) has a new album, Silent Show, out April 29 – which from what we’ve heard so far, displays a crisp instrumentative flair with piano as the backbone to the sound, filling out the… Continue reading Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria
In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
Did you get caught up in the post SXSW fever that you just had to lie down and couldn’t bring yourself to read any music blog (even one that never got to go to SXSW…)?

An oldie but goodie
Yeah, it’s an old video (shout out to Ashley), so what? I’m left speechless watching. (“To Build A Home” = one of my favorite songs of all time. Way to pick up Patrick Watson for it, TCO.) Suitable for coming home on a weekend night. The Cinematic Orchestra – “To Build A Home” [MP3] (left… Continue reading An oldie but goodie

Having dropped Enemy Mine from another one of his bands, Swan Lake, recently, Krug is back with the atmospheric now five-piece (new bassist/drummer, Mark Nicol) Sunset Rubdown for Dragonslayer.… Continue reading Sunset Rubdown to release new album, ‘Dragonslayer’, June 23
April 4 Concert Notables: The Damnwells and Gregory Alan Isakov
A more apt title for this post would be, lesser-known artists playing April 4 in NYC – because that week we got just about everyone coming to town. (Weird to use that phrase when speaking of New York City…) A couple recent favorites of mine, The Damnwells and Gregory Alan Isakov, will be playing shows… Continue reading April 4 Concert Notables: The Damnwells and Gregory Alan Isakov

Sooo bad ass. Only thing is, last time I saw a trailer with an Arcade Fire… Continue reading “Where The Wild Things Are” trailer! Feat. Arcade Fire

Thanks to See What You Hear, I received word that Emperor X (Chad Matheny) has his new (January 12) album, The Blythe Archives Volume 2, up on his website for free download. This is the same Emperor X who made one of my favorite songs ever in “Raytracer”. It’s a bit unusual at first if… Continue reading Emperor X: Free album download
Tenaka – Eponymously Titled
I stumbled across Tenaka (aka, Ronan Carroll) a little while back upon hearing of a free 4 song EP, Eponymously Titled, released in January, on his MySpace. Not knowing much about the music, except that it had been labeled electronica, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, as soon as I saw “Ireland” next to… Continue reading Tenaka – Eponymously Titled
