I’m not really sure what to do anymore with Balmorhea. I’ve written so many posts about them and they continue to provide top-notch tunes with the same affect. I just don’t know what to say that I haven’t already said. So go ahead, read back a bit, I’m not rehashing words just for the sake of… Continue reading [MP3] Balmorhea: “Clamor”

Lisa Jaeggi has been a long-time reader of Knox Road, enjoying the artists we tend to spotlight. She finally sent us an email with her own music, and I don’t know what took her so long. I fell in love with her haunting voice and the simplistic sound immediately. So consider this a cry to… Continue reading Lisa Jaeggi
[MP3] Esperi: “Dialled”
An artist who plays bells with his feet. This is the type of music we’re after at Knox Road. But seriously, Esperi, aka Chris Lee-Marr, from Scotland, makes gorgeously intimate music. When I listen to “Dialled”, his newest song, I visualize a screen awash with sound waves. Touch the screen and an array of soothing… Continue reading [MP3] Esperi: “Dialled”
[MP3] Joshua LeMasters: “Cold Houses”
It’s been a while since I’ve thrown some warm Americana your way – you know, the type that’s meant for a chimney fire or out on the porch staring into nature’s abyss as the temperature cools off. Don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about – it may seem overly cliché, but, like,… Continue reading [MP3] Joshua LeMasters: “Cold Houses”

[MP3] Eagle Winged Palace: “Movin’ On To Avalon”
Weird music is all the craze these days, ya know? But what does “weird” actually mean, if everything we’re listening to is “weird”? Something different? Straying entirely from the mainstream? So then, what becomes the mainstream, at least in indie music? So many questions, I know (and most are questions several of you have been… Continue reading [MP3] Eagle Winged Palace: “Movin’ On To Avalon”
Hip Hatchet
It’s been a while since I’ve given you some good folk pop, hasn’t it? I mean, I recently posted about Arran Arctic’s new single, “The Door”, but he changed his direction slightly with that song so it wasn’t fully soft folk anymore. Well, here’s to hoping Hip Hatchet, out of Middlebury, Vermont, (which surprised me… Continue reading Hip Hatchet

[Notable Album Release] Kacey Johansing – Many Seasons
Kacey Johansing, based in San Fransisco, makes soft pop folk music that would definitely do Harlem well when they make it back to the States for their Chai tea and hot towels. Soothing vocals and a light demeanor (despite the, at times, dark lyrics) mark the overall ‘tude of her music. Johansing, whose name certainly… Continue reading [Notable Album Release] Kacey Johansing – Many Seasons
