Daniel Isaiah

Daniel Isaiah (Schachter), set to release his debut album, High Twilight, on June 7, just released the title track as a free download. For an artist who hasn’t received much publicity outside his home of Montreal and is a rookie in solo music-making circles (he’s been in a couple full bands in the past), Isaiah… Continue reading Daniel Isaiah

[MP3] YesYou: “Half Of It”

Certainly not me, but definitely this Brisbane producer duo (Jono Kirkham and Gav Parry, aka YesYou), who enjoy the help of James O’Brien (of The Boat People) and the St. Margaret Angelican Girls’ School Choir on vocals for the first single, “Half Of It”, off their forthcoming dance pop debut. You know what? I’m impressed… Continue reading [MP3] YesYou: “Half Of It”

[MP3] Color of Clouds: “Sleep”

Yes, it’s true; new music from Knox Road favorite, Color of Clouds! Dan sent us their new four-song EP, Tiny Hammers, to be digitally released May 17, and it shows a new side of CoC. I’m providing the track “Sleep” below, as it best represents the slight change in sound. Kelli Scarr’s vocals are still… Continue reading [MP3] Color of Clouds: “Sleep”

Winter Villains

So, interesting story. Mostly. Late last night, I was listening to a new band, as has become par for the course writing a music blog and all. (End of story. Just kidding!) I quickly became enamored with their sound, and decided to check everyones’s best friendĀ last.fm to see if any tags were associated with the… Continue reading Winter Villains

[MP3] Hezekiah Jones: “Borrowed Heart”

Hezekiah Jones, from the lovely Yer Bird Records, was recently featured (as in, two days ago) on Weathervane Music‘s independent artist seriesĀ “Shaking Through.” This is volume two, episode four of “Shaking Through,” and “Borrowed Heart” is Hezekiah Jones’ featured song. Good choice, I say! It’s eerily beautiful, with an acoustic guitar as the backbone throughout… Continue reading [MP3] Hezekiah Jones: “Borrowed Heart”

[Video + MP3] Black Light Dinner Party: “Older Together”

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/21676854[/vimeo] Music videos I love have been popping up with more frequency this past week or so, including Germany Germany’s “Take Me Home,” and now Black Light Dinner Party’s “Older Together.” I’m only familiar with Black Light Dinner Party because it’s a project of a good Knox Road friend, whose identity I can’t share with… Continue reading [Video + MP3] Black Light Dinner Party: “Older Together”

Notable Album Release: Falcon – Disappear

Brooklyn’s Falcon are set to self-release their debut full-length, Disappear (which you can already download on Bandcamp),Ā on May 17. They’ve toyed around a bit with the Falcon EP in 2008 and composed a soundtrack to author Daniel Wallace’s illustrated book O’Great Rosenfeld. But what’s really interesting here is that Falcon’s songs were written by two… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Falcon – Disappear

[MP3] Cisco Adler & The Pigeons: “Body Language”

Looks like Cisco Adler & The Pigeons’ “Body Language” has been floating around for quite some time, but a fully mastered/finished version was recently posted on Bananabeat Records’ website for free consumption. It’s not so similar to the music we typically post here (then again, we try not to fully pigeonhole (so sorry) ourselves), but… Continue reading [MP3] Cisco Adler & The Pigeons: “Body Language”
