One of the most popular pages on IRC is the Top 10 Songs page. Since we started the series in 2010, there has been nearly four million views of the page, thousands and thousands of free and legal MP3s, and arguably dozens upon dozens of some of the best Top 10 indie and alternative rock [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Bowerbirds put on one of the best shows I've seen all year, and I was lucky enough to get to interview them for NBC SoundDiego - so when I found out that they did a North Shore Session in collab with MPLS.TV I was pretty stoked. And it was nothing short of beautiful. In a hollowed out building they sang Overcome with Light and Brave World. The simplicity of Overcome with Light filled the room with vocal harmonies and sparse guitar arrangements. It gave me the shivers. They continued on with Brave [...]

Morgen spielen Bowerbirds im El Lokal. Heute gibt es auf 78s ein Kurzkino mit Bowerbirds und Bären. Bowerbirds erzählen im Video zu "Tuck the Darkness In" eine putzige Fischgeschichte. Schliesslich weiss die Welt spätestens seit "Nemo", dass Fische trotz ihrer Glischigkeit irgendwie ganz niedlich sind. Obwohl im Clip keine Clownfische vorkommen, rührt die Heldentat das kleinen Jungen zumindest die Internetwelt. Tierschützer, Musikfreunde, gelangweilte Youtubler, Filmmögende: Das Video spricht praktisch jede Gesellschaftsschicht an. Das liegt nicht nur am Fisch, sondern auch am Song von Bowerbirds: Wundervideo für Supersong! [Im Feed [...]

Frank Yang Maybe listening to Jesus Of Cool and Labour Of Lust weren't the best warm-ups for Nick Lowe's show at The Phoenix on Monday night. After all, he was many many years removed from being the young pub-rock firebrand who recorded those first two records, having settled comfortably into the role of professorial pop singer-songwriter - a guise that's suited his still-potent pen quite nicely, as last year's The Old Magic proved. But if you [...]

Tipps für eine Woche voller besserer Musik. Diese Woche mit Geburtstagsgrüssen und ganz vielen Konzerten. Montag, 23. April 2012 Am Montagabend bezirzen Great Lake Swimmers die Gäste im Basler Sud. "New Wild Everywhere" ist das erste Album, das die Musiker nicht in der freien Natur aufgenommen haben. Das sterilo Studio hat aber zu keiner Folk-Pause geführt. Zum Glück!

It’s happening again this year! Record Store Day 2012!! This will be my third year trying to get whatever “limited edition” records around. Like previous years I made a list of what records I wanted to get and what I bought . I understand some of the release will be available only in the UK and USA. The Ottawa music stores that are participating are: Compact Music CD Warehouse Birdman Sound [...]
★★★1/2 If Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, Devandra Banhart, and Lavender Diamond came together to create a musical baby (album), out would come the Bowerbirds' third album, The Clearing . The trio's latest album packs a much greater punch than their first two in terms of instrumentation and lyrical quality. The Clearing , however, sounds much more like an album produced by an indie-rock band rather than a freaky-folk band, like Bowerbirds. Born out a rustic cabin in the woods of North Carolina, Bowerbirds lyrics are full of references to nature and [...]

As usual with big fests, the headliners are disappointing. But who cares? The undercard is always where the action is. Here's who's playing, with MP3s where I could find them. See you in Chicago, August 3-5, 2012. Afghan Whigs Alabama Shakes (MP3: I Found You ) Aloe Blacc (MP3: You Make Me Smile ) Amadou & Mariam Ambassadors (Soundcloud: Unconsolable ) Anamanaguchi Animal Kingdom (MP3: Tin Man via Magnet ) At The Drive-In Avicii Band of Skulls (MP3: Sweet [...]

Bowerbirds - Walk the Furrows Comme je le disais lors de la semaine Sharon Van Etten, la discographie de Bowerbirds et celle de Sharon se ressemblent, et le troisième album est celui d’une plus grande exposition médiatique (beaucoup plus pour Sharon quand même) et d’une plus grosse production. Piedo de DLF a découvert à cette occasion et il en parle bien ici . Pour The Clearing , Bowerbirds est allé enregistrer dans le studio de Justin Vernon (ces trois-là se connaissent depuis bien longtemps, avant le premier album [...]
Bowerbirds - Tuck the Darkness In

Bowerbirds - Knives, Snakes and Mesquite Un titre inédit issu de la Daytrotter Session de 2007 (ils en avaient fait une autre en 2009 ).
Bowerbirds, Dry The River The Loft Thursday, April 12 Phil Moore, the singer-guitarist and principal songwriter of Bowerbirds, has an extraordinarily supple, soothing voice. He's has always been... Continue reading "Bowerbirds - The Loft - 4/12/12" >

Middle spot in a busy night of music photography, Bowerbirds headlined a show at the Parish. Dry the River opened, but I only caught the last two songs due to shooting Real Estate and Twerps (more on that to come). Once again, good booking for The Parish to highlight the subtle tones and layered organic melodies. And good lights help the mood. Head past the break to check out the shots of the show from a band that delivered one of our favorite albums so far this year. [...]

Bowerbirds - Ghost Life Récupéré par Dead Oceans qui réédite leur premier album en 2008, Bowerbirds enchaîne en 2009 avec Upper Air , album bien plus maîtrisé que le premier, dix titres parfaits pour l’un de mes albums préférés de ces dernières années !
Bowerbirds - Northern Lights
The Raleigh band treated fans to songs from its haunting new album // Follow Owl and Bear on Facebook and Twitter for contests, MP3s, and links that don't make it onto the blog.

Bowerbirds - La Denigración On remonte encore un peu plus en arrière avec cet extrait du premier Ep Danger At Sea et ci-dessous un extrait de Ticonderoga, le groupe de Phil Moore avant qu’il ne fonde Bowerbirds avec sa petite amie Beth. D’autres chansons de ce groupe sont disponibles sur le blog de Bowerbirds ici .
