My Morning Jacket “Evil Urges” Review
A friend admonished his suggestion to listen to Evil Urges, hinting that My Morning Jacket was set to release something twisted and absolutely uncharacteristic, “It’s almost like MMJ thinks they can do whatever they want now;” my response, “they can’t?” I thought it fitting that the gravity of a sound that has nestled the [...]

Bat For Lashes
Bat For Lashes es el proyecto musical de Natasha Khan, una británica con ascendencia pakistaní nacida en el año 1979. Tras algunos años ofreciendo actuaciones en directo, en el verano de 2007 publica a través del sello discográfico Caroline Records su álbum de debut, llamado Fur and Gold. Bat for Lashes -- Horse & ILa Chansons
“Sparklin” is my fav song off La Chansons’ Love Love Love All Day — they recently gave the track a bit of a facelift and now it is even more of a favorite. Such a perfect little pop song… all about rediscovering yr youth through a pair of twenty year old skates. We were solid [...]
La Chansons -- sparklin2_15_08master RenderedAkaname "Filthlicker" CD
"Filthlicker" is the debut EP from New Zealand's Akaname on Debello Recordings, tearing through five tracks of intriguingly diverse and jarring metalcore in about 20 minutes. I've always been very picky when it comes to the more discordant and chaotic side of the "metalcore" realm, but there's something about these tracks that works very [...]
Akaname -- The Garden PathAlbum Review ∞ Kris Delmhorst: Shotgun Singer w/ a side of Homonym Monday ∞ Oleander
I love artists who aren’t afraid to try new things, whether it is making a cover album with two friends (one would become husband/father of soon-to-be-born child) or recording an album using other people’s poetry for the lyrics. Kris Delmhorst isn’t afraid to take a chance.
Some might be shocked at the amount of production on her fifth studio album. The instrumentation is more varied, the drums more percussive, the backup kids choir, the handclaps, the string sections, the kitchen sink. Even though the sound of the 12 tracks that make up Shotgun Singer are kicked up a notch when compared to her earlier work, the overall effect is still the same.
These are well-written songs sung with boat-loads of emotion.

Kris Delmhorst ∞ 1000 ReasonsKris Delmhorst -- OleanderSarah Harmer -- OleanderWhy The F*ck Is No One In America Blogging About ∞ David Myles
I wish talent = music blogoweb exposure BUT it doesn’t. In my opinion, a lot of terrible bands get WAY too much attention on the blogs (ex. Coldyplay). AND the folks with the skills to pay the bills, actually struggle to pay the bills. David Myles is that kind of artist.
This Halifaxian musician leans on the folk side of the genre spectrum. But he is not afraid to pepper his well-written songs with gospel, jazz and rock. He won the 2008 Chris Austin Songwriting Contest, the 2006 International Songwriting Contest and his 2007 release – Things Have Changed – earned him two Music Nova Scotia awards and the East Coast Music Award for Galaxies Rising Star Rerecording of The Year. That is a lot of accolades.
He released a new batch of tunes last week called On The Line, which includes other talented Canadians like Old Man Luedecke, Meghan Smith and Matt Mays. More proof that 2008 Is The Year Of Canadian Music.

David Myles -- Cape BretonDavid Myles -- Holy ManProudly Wearing White Denim
Lately among artists both old and new, there has been a form of immediacy that has become increasingly prevalent. They are beginning to take advantage of the internet like never before, releasing material in a digitalized format with a variety of technological methods to choose from. Whether an artist chooses to combine forces with a [...]
White Denim - SittingWhite Denim -- I Can Tell YouWhite Denim -- Darksided Computer MouthThe Bowery Riots
Remember the days of prohibition, zoot suits, and tommy guns? Probably not - - unless you're a senior citizen. The Bowery Riots revive the up-tempo sounds and styles of '50s big band, giving it a dirtier, relevant edge. You may recognize the lead singer from his other bands Rockets and Cars and Cities on Fire. Busy guy.

Golden Boots - "Days Are Night"May I say something before you begin? May I say that your boots are glorious. Your shirt is thin, it almost billows when you walk. Your teeth, the ones that you show when you give a little smile, they're very shiny. Before you begin, can I just add that standing next to you is like standing with someone in a phone booth; close feels closer, and your breath feels nice. Can I say that I loved this immediately? Like, right away, no second thoughts. I think you're stuck in a muddy old bar, in a basement and I want to stay.
