What’s that? New music from Australian sibling sensations Angus & Julia Stone?? With Angus’s new side project, Lady Of The Sunshine, receiving its fair share of press lately, he seems quite willing to let Julia take the reigns on “And The Boys”, the new single from their forthcoming (March 2010) sophomore LP, Down The Way.… Continue reading [MP3 + Video] Angus & Julia Stone: “And The Boys”

Shayna Zaid & The Catch
Going back to familiar territory for me here in the female singer/songwriter category. It’s rather surprising that New York’s Shayna Zaid & The Catch haven’t received more publicity; yeah, they’ve been featured on commercials occasionally and whatnot, but has anyone actually heard their name? Shayna Zaid is the lead singer (starting with the obvious, of… Continue reading Shayna Zaid & The Catch
B For Butterfly
Very little is known about B for Butterfly, except that they’re a male/female duo from the UK. Two songs are available to stream on their MySpace, and they sent us both, but “Photograph” is the one that my ears have taken to and displays a fair amount of potential. The harmonies are obviously B For… Continue reading B For Butterfly
Will Stratton: Perfect for a cold weekend
Wunderkid Will Stratton‘s newest LP, No Wonder, dropped earlier this week and I’d be remiss not to share my thoughts. I know very little about Stratton, except that Mr. Nobody, Sufjan Stevens, made an appearance on his first album, What The Night Said, which garnered much critical praise. His voice is eerily reminiscent of Nick… Continue reading Will Stratton: Perfect for a cold weekend
[MP3] Digits: “Nonstop”
Digits, the electronic indie pop project of Alt Altman, released his first full album, Hold It Close, on September 22. Altman, out of Toronto, typically sings with deep, monotone vocals over his layered electronic beats, but the song “Nonstop” features slightly more ranging vocals – something we take to kindly here at Knox Road. “Nonstop”… Continue reading [MP3] Digits: “Nonstop”
A belated tribute to Landon Pigg
With Landon Pigg‘s latest album, The Boy Who Never, dropping a couple weeks ago (September 29,) I realized we’ve never really given him his fair due here on KR. I posted an mp3 from him a while back in preparation for SXSW, titled “Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop”, which has received much fanfare… Continue reading A belated tribute to Landon Pigg
[MP3] ArpLine: “Fold Up Like A Piece of Paper”
Brooklyn’s ArpLine (formerly The Kiss Off) are destined for great things. Having finished recording a full-length with producer Chris Coady (Grizzly Bear, TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead,) the five-piece crew are ready to release the album later this year and we have the first single for you in “Fold Up Like… Continue reading [MP3] ArpLine: “Fold Up Like A Piece of Paper”
Jesus H. Foxx
Hot on the heels of Song, by Toad Records’ latest success with Meursault comes Jesus H. Foxx (don’t be thrown off by the name, please), a seven-piece outfit out of Edinburgh, Scotland (where else? It is Song, by Toad‘s label anyway…). Jesus H. Foxx mix several different genres of music, which is perhaps easier with… Continue reading Jesus H. Foxx
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
