Big Blood, “She Sells Sanctuary”
Stream / Download: Big Blood- Old Time Primitives Prior to Big Blood, Woods was the only band I knew of that wrote folk tunes with a style that chilled me to the bone. The band's last album, Dark Country Magic , didn't amaze me throughout, but the band had too much character to be forgettable. Which is why I'm happy to announce the band has a new album out titled Old Time Primitives . It's available via the link above. You can also [...]

Loving that home recorded aesthetic . Nice blasts of room atmospheres, tape static and a slight tunnelling in fidelity give this release a gritty authenticity that studio albums often shamefully polish away… The opener, Run grabs you instantly, like some forgotten psych gem with its meaty bass proposition and incredible vocals… a strong authoritative voice akin to Catherine Ribeiro . A folksy saturation to which Jefferson A’s magical ‘ White Rabbit ’ sort of slips into comparison rather seamlessly… The fun continues on the next track, the vocals going all [...]
...can't get enough of this song right now... it's yelling me the pure love...

It was another great year in music. Again, like last year, I can't understand those who insists that 'nothing good happened in 20102, annoying hipsters. It was such a diverse year, full of brilliant gems. I won't go into charts and numbering, but here's a rough overview of the stuff I liked this year. Some of the [...]

First off, I have to thank YouTube user mgfoster for turning me onto this band. Their name is Big Blood, and they've got a new album out via dontrustheruin . The title: Dark Country Magic . The music certainly delivers what the title promises. This album built on lots of acoustic guitars, psychedelic effects, lo-fi drums, and odd female vocals that sound like a cross between Feist and Joanna Newsom. It's something I could see Woods fans getting into as well. [...]

One of the most famous tales in all of Chinese medicine is that of a master herbalist, healer and mountain man known as Li Ching-Yuen. His death in 1933 was reported in newspapers across the world, including obituaries that ran in both Time magazine and the New York Times. He was said to have buried [...]

Big Blood finally make the jump from CD-r ranks to the vinyl treatment they so rightfully deserve. Colleen Kinsella and Caleb Mulkerin have long used the Big Blood moniker as respite from their more fleshed out work in Cerberus Shoal and Fire on Fire amongst other collectives, and it’s always been here that their most heartfelt pieces eked out. Kinsella's voice is as strong and strident as ever, unfolding folk tales with unbridled joy and enduring sadness. It’s that divide that drives the album, following highs with crushing lows like a cycle of life encapsulated to fifty minutes. Styles float [...]

Welcome to our first Guest Lecture. It's a new feature, wherein we'll hand over the reins of the blog to an artist we love, giving them our forum to write about a topic of their choosing. (Yes, we ripped this idea off from another music blog; to our credit, we did come up with a cooler name for it.) In the future, expect the occasional Guest Lecture from popular independent artists on a diverse range of topics. In related news, if you represent and/or are Stephen Malkmus, we'd love to hear your thoughts on immigration policy [...]

Big Blood are entirely new to us, although they have released a handful of CD-Rs (see Dontrustheruin here ), Dead Songs is apparently their first CD and vinyl release proper. The only track we've heard is this one, e-mailed through to us from a source we can't quite identify, but whoever you are, we're most grateful. Lay Your Head On The Rails II comes across like an outtake from side two of Neil Young's classic Rust Never Sleeps - feedback buzz and a big fat riff powers from the speakers [...]

You might wonder how come the pancake image appear in the middle of the week. Well, that's for a good reason.
