Peter Bradley Adams’ forthcoming album, Traces, streaming in its entirety

I wasn’t even going to look at the inbox tonight as I’m off to go see Sunny Day Real Estate at the 9:30 club, but it’s a good thing I did, because I found this gem: Peter Bradley Adams is streaming his entire new album, Traces (officially due out 10/20,) on his website. We’ve written… Continue reading Peter Bradley Adams’ forthcoming album, Traces, streaming in its entirety

Flotilla, kinda wanna be ya

I’m beginning to think Canadians are putting something extra special in their girls’ food. They must be! I mean, so much female vocal talent coming from the country at once, it’s just not fair! We’ve already featured The O’Darling, my last post was about Metric, and Stars, as you should know, are one of my… Continue reading Flotilla, kinda wanna be ya

New Leaves, new Owen? A not so scholarly review

Forget so soon about my notable album release post, did ya? Well the time’s finally here, and Owen doesn’t deserve that! The solo project of acclaimed indie singer/songwriter, Mike Kinsella, Owen has dropped its first new release since 2006. New Leaves has the same heartbreaking lyrics and brilliant acoustics we’ve become accustomed to from Kinsella,… Continue reading New Leaves, new Owen? A not so scholarly review

Sea Wolf’s White Water, White Bloom is lush and engaging

What can I say that hasn’t been said before? We’ve been hyping this album to death with posts and radio show appearances – and we even got Alex Church himself to discuss it. So obviously, I’m at a bit of a disadvantage here in an attempt to introduce some new words of insight regarding White… Continue reading Sea Wolf’s White Water, White Bloom is lush and engaging

[MP3] Piroth: Fog Dancers

Swedish indie folk. Need I say more? …Yeah, I probably do. Piroth is, appropriately, the sisters Piroth (Nina and Johanna.) They get small help from others on some tracks, but Nina and Johanna keep the Piroth legacy intact. And why not? I’ve never heard disassembled harmonies quite like these, which somehow maintain the ability to… Continue reading [MP3] Piroth: Fog Dancers

The Cave Singers and Lightning Dust coming to DC

Well lookee here, who said those northwest indie folk bands never trudge out to D.C.? We have a stellar lineup coming up next Monday (9/21) at the Black Cat with two of the hottest up and coming folksters in The Cave Singers and Lightning Dust. The show is not sold out (at the time of… Continue reading The Cave Singers and Lightning Dust coming to DC

Notable Album Release: Owen – New Leaves

Ever since I turned my ears onto the indie music scene, Mike Kinsella, most notably of Owen and American Football fame, has truly been one of my favorite artists. A recent post by good guy Ack over at Herohill about Owen finally heading to his Halifax, Candian home reminded me to turn over your attention… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Owen – New Leaves

Peter Bradley Adams ushers us into the weekend

You may recognize his song “Always” from a previous upcoming NYC concerts (where basically everyone came to the city one Thursday) post, but this time Brooklyn’s Peter Bradley Adams gets his own space. Adams makes his folk music immediately accessible with soothing, raspy vocals and acoustic guitar picking, along with the occasional piano and pretty… Continue reading Peter Bradley Adams ushers us into the weekend

[MP3] Sea Wolf: “Stanislaus”

In anticipation of their forthcoming album, White Water, White Bloom (due September 22), Sea Wolf is offering up a new bonus track, available to the public, titled “Stanislaus.” If this song is any indication as to where the new record may be going, it sounds like we should be ready for a bigger, fuller tone… Continue reading [MP3] Sea Wolf: “Stanislaus”
