Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. [tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes. Magic Bullets "Lying Around" from Magic Bullets [ released 6/15| indie pop ] [ [...]
Yikes! Summer is passing by faster than a swift kick from Crystal Castles' Alice Glass . A few more weeks and the kids will be off to school, Slip 'N Slides will be rolled up and tossed in the garage, and neighborhood pools across the country will close shop 'til next year. But it isn't over yet! There's still time to do all those fun activities you said you'd do when summer came along, but never got around to doing (I've been meaning to build a raft and float down the Chicago River for the past 5 summers). As [...]

This week's releases include new stuff from The Books (their first in about five years) and These United States . The former sets the tone of weird that I sampled from some of the albums this week. There may not be a lot from artists you've heard before, which makes the discovery process that much more enjoyable once you take a listen to everything out today. A few choices that I particularly dug include Lower Dens , Mountain Man , and Richard Youngs . If there's anything I [...]
![Canby: Rat [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2684623_lg.jpg)
Scott Yoshimura. You know him. You've heard him provide additional drum kit induced background noise for The Envy Corps for a while now. And for all practical purposes, Canby is his "side" project. But really, that's not a fair statement. This is HIS project. And Rat is the excellent debut of Scott's own personal expressions. He does it all on the record, and he does it damn well. The 90's style lo-fi pop single "Rat", is a prime [...]

Canby From: Des Moines, Iowa, United States Canby started life as a side project of musical jack-of-all-trades Scott Yoshimura, drummer for the inde rock band The Envy Corps. It has since grown arms and legs and is more, much more, than a mere bit of extra curricular activity. Yoshimura, who has successfully worked on several other 'side-projects' like The Magazines , throws himself into his music like his life depends upon it. With Canby Yoshimura's baritone smoothness adding serious weight to the themes he [...]

Canby is the side project of Scott Yoshimura form the Iowa indie band The Envy Crops in which he plays the drums. This is the first release for Yoshimura as well as the Iowa record label "Aqui Estamos" and it could not have been a better, Yoshimura's mellow baritone voice are an enchantment to the perfectly written lyrics, but do not fear the album is not a one tone tune, it ranges from fast ballads to pensive thoughts. Canby - Rat [...]
