I almost considered deleting the email from The Tinder Box, what with ReverbNation as their main band page. BUT THEN I saw a Tumblr link and that they were from South Dakota and most was forgiven. AND THEN I listened to their music and I became a snapshot of pleasant surprise. I trotted over (clicked… Continue reading The Tinder Box

[MP3] Gina’s Picture Show: “Forget”
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”

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
[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 turned an elderly 19 since I last wrote about him, so clearly there have been musical changes that come with the old age. He’s still an experimental electronic force, but this time with an… Continue reading Gabe Goodman returns with Midnight Sour EP
Port St. Willow releases debut full-length, Holiday
As you may or may not know, we recently threw a concert at Pianos in partnership with exfm. I had been promoting like a jerk all over the Twittersphere and Facebooks, so you probably did know. Fine. What you may not have known, however, was much about Port St. Willow, the project of Nick Principe… Continue reading Port St. Willow releases debut full-length, Holiday

It’s been streaming in full on Spinner, but for some reason this band hasn’t taken over the pop world.
