J'ai la fâcheuse habitude de faire traîner les choses, et ce qui est vrai dans la vie s'applique aussi à la musique: quand on me conseille directement ou indirectement un groupe ou un artiste, je mets le lien dans un dossier, les liens s'accumulent et plusieurs semaines ou mois plus tard ça commence à déborder et je me dis qu'il faudrait vraiment que je me mette à cliquer sur ces liens. Si Paul aka Pomme de Pin ne m'avait pas relancé plusieurs fois sur Englishman , peut-être que le lien [...]
Before I try to take any credit for finding this band, I didn't. One of my online friend and fellow fan of all things Slowcoustic, Ryan made mention of the album on a forum post and I took a listen and thought y'all might wanna hear it as well! The songs on this self titled release are of the "indie-singer-songwriter-indie -pop" variety and catch you immediately. While some are more upbeat and network TV ready, the album is a pretty good listen, especially the "Classically Trained" track among them. Other stand outs for me include "Funnel of Love" and [...]
Clicca qui per vedere il video incorporato. Erland & The Carnival al loro secondo album in uscita il prossimo 7 marzo con suoni ancora di derivazione wave pop dalle tendenze oscure, Nightingale è stato registrato nella stiva di un imbarcazione ancorata sulle rive del Tamigi; le influenze dichiarate attraversano il folk e l'arte inglese con notevole disinvoltura; il primo singolo, Map of an Englishman è ispirato al lavoro di Grayson Perry . Ad un primo ascolto quello che sembra conservare questo secondo [...]
Erland & The Carnival's album, Nightingale , is a twisting, expansive, and cinematic treat perhaps more suitable for those who don't give a damn about award winners, trindie or not. The record comes out on March 29th via Full Time Hobby/Yep Roc in North America. Not to imply it's the same, but there is something about this album that has me wanting to follow it with The Divine Comedy. Not bad company at all. http://erlandandthecarnival.co m http://www.myspace.com/carniva l

It's that time of year again. The time where you look at all the great music released in the past 365 days and narrow it down to the best 10. I listed the Top 10 albums that made some great listening experiences. No Richmond-based artists are on here. That will be coming in another post. TED LEO & THE PHARMACISTS - THE BRUTALIST BRICKS Ted Leo's newest album was a surprise for me since I haven't really enjoyed the last few releases, but The Brutalist Bricks brings back what makes Ted [...]
My birthday is this weekend and I think the stars aligned perfectly in my favor regarding live music coming through Richmond. Hot on the heels of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists playing at Strange Matter and Finger Eleven rocking the National , there are even more shows going on that I can't keep up. It's good to know that all these great bands are performing for my birthday. I really appreciate it. Tonight, two of my favorite local bands, The Diamond Center [...]
Englishman is the musical project of Lexington, KY native Andrew English. Englishman's self-titled debut full-length was cut to tape in the converted barn he helped to build on a rural Ohio farm, it is at once familiar and haunted. The ten snowy days of recording were broken up by family style meals of summer vegetables and winter toddies and the result is a record that is wonderfully simple. It is full of sparse, minimal folk melodies and lovely harmonies offering subtle musical shades of heartbreak and enchantment in equal measure. This is [...]

New Wax I mentioned Lexington, KY's Andrew English, aka Englishman, when he released last year's handcrafted EP Taxidermy, which won me over with its oddball charm. After sharing the stage with the likes of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Deer Tick, and Fruit Bats, the songwriter is back with his self-titled debut full-length and he's employed the production talents of These United States member Justin Craig, who also serves as honorary bandmate for English's stage shows. The album, which was recorded in a converted Ohio barn, explores the [...]

Spent a couple of hours last night reducing the size of the mailbox from 3,922 to 3,697 mails. Summed up you can say I spent the time on reading, deleting, downloading, listening, deleting again (most of the time) and cheering (not that often). Here's what I have to show for my efforts: + Baby Scream – Nicole + The Grand Opening - Be Steady + Drew Seeley [...]

Lexington, Kentucky group Englishman performed at Tuesday night's Listening Room show (which was amazing by the way. Jonathan and company did an awesome job putting that together.) and I was marveled at how simple their sound was and yet powerful at the same time. Englishman's vocal harmonies were beautifully intertwined with just a guitar and keyboard. I immediately went home and checked out all their music online (I should have bought their album but had no cash on me). Englishman draws influences from folk and indie pop to create a sweet and disarming EP [...]
You Should Know Englishman is the songwriting vehicle for Lexington, Kentucky-based Andrew English. The songs on his new EP were recorded at his apartment home in Kentucky but his live shows employ the talents of members of The Scourge Of The Sea, of which he is also a part of, and These United States. On his EP Taxidermy , English composes mellow bedroom folk-pop with wistful lyrics. The 5-songs on Taxidermy are decidedly quirky, but something about English's delivery lends an undertone of melancholy to [...]
