Part two of my interview with Sebastian Krueger: (Part one is here .) NL: Where does the Inlets name come from? SK: When I started to write, I wanted an introspective quality in there. Of course, I had to cut out a lot of the tendencies to be very obviously introspective, because I didn't want to beat people over the head with it. And maybe it is a hammer-like metaphor, but it's just about finding ways inside. I'm sure that Vestibule [...]

Inlets is the whiskers of steam rising up from a mug of tea, curling up into your nostrils and circulating through your system. It's the driftwood of city nights and the ephemera of love pinned down and preserved like scrapbook wildflowers. It's the yellowed margins of a poet's notebook set to miniature symphonies and one-man orchestras. Inlets is also Sebastian Krueger, a bedroom architect of songs that are uniformly gifted, intimate, restorative and gentle. Since releasing the enchanting Vestibule for free last year, he's gained a good deal of much-warranted attention for his work. As he prepares his [...]

Sebastian Krueger is the man behind what he calls "the bedroom fidelity project" Inlets. This perhaps makes him both faithful and musical? Ladies? He is also a generous man, and we here at the 'hive appreciate good music even more when the artists who make said music decide to make their EP's available for NO dollars to music lovers of the world. Krueger gets "sharing the sharing." He just gets it. Back when I was a 3hive fan and not a participant, I used to be totally charmed by all this "this is totally a Clay band", "oh such and [...]

"This is the way of the post-academic: Plan, scrape, cough and dream. " - Sebastian Krueger Inlets is primarily the work of My Brighest Diamond member Sebastian Krueger, a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter who also fronts Atiquis . The guy who first turned me on to Inlets' Vestibule EP described the music as "Sufjan meets Grizzly Bear" so naturally I was intrigued (and slightly skeptical). Here's the first song I heard: [MP3] Inlets - Pictures Of [...]

The power of sight is a deep and important thing. Having the foresight to make the right decisions, learning from your mistakes with hindsight. Seeing the brilliantly tiny features that make your love the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. Some sights get weaker with age, some stronger. I'm getting Lasik surgery in two weeks! I'll be seeing clearly under my own power for the first time since 6th grade! So I thought I'd post about it. Theme posts always yield rarer and more surprising results. Listen: Coldplay - See You Soon - One of [...]

Brooklyn, NY Inlets is primarily the solo work of Sebastian Krueger. He also plays instruments for Shara Worden's project My Brightest Diamond. If you like this track, you can download the rest of the Vestibule EP at his website for free! [...]
For the remainder of the weekend, I will be busy trying to make headway in packing for my move to Cincinnati. For that reason, I needed to find a song that was good enough to carry through to the end of the weekend. Oh... did I find nice one. Inlets is the musical project of Sebastian Krueger. He is originally from Madison, Wisconsin and has since become a resident of Brooklyn, New

A little quickie post before I head off to work as I happened to oversleep today. I remember first hearing about the story of Inlets , the guise played under by Brooklyn's Sebastian Krueger , a couple of months ago on myspace. There were interesting details as there was the mention of him currently playing guitar with My Brightest Diamond . I was completely in love with Bring Me The Workhorse at the time, so I was definitely intrigued. It's an interesting dynamic though, as most who [...]

[a warm thankyou to sebastian for taking the time to contribute to musicisart. aside from the guitarist for my brightest diamond, he has beautifully created his own project inlets and last week released a debut ep, that may be freely downloaded at the friendly label luvsound. from the first listen, its to easy to hear that sebastian truly shares in all that makes his creativity genuine, showing an appreciation dedicated throughout the use of many imaginary sounds.] Inlets may [...]

Finally, I'm in my new place with electricity and internet! I appreciate all your patience and I hope you've missed me as much as I've missed you. Listening Assignments! 1. Inlets - Pictures of Trees - This dude Sebastien is in My Brightest Diamond with Shara Worden (who sings on all the Sufjan Stevens recordings) and this is his side project. Very Sufjan-esque with banjos and quivering falsetto harmonies. Still, it's got a little unique spice that keeps me pressing play. [from Vestibule | download [...]

I want to thank Sebastian Krueger for getting in touch to let me know about his music and his new EP, Vestibule. + + + + + + + + + + + + If you love the beautiful and sad, such as November rocks huddled like abandoned eggs on the beach, then the music of Inlets may satisfy your craving. Another in a growing line of talented bedroom auteurs, Inlets [...]

This is something good, this is a sign that someone has been paying attention. A collaborator (in the good, musical sense, not the bad, Vichy sense) of My Brightest Diamond, Inlets , is releasing his Vestibule EP . You can download it, the whole thing, for free, here . How would I describe it? Good. Very good, in a strange way. It seems I can hear so many of my favourite musicians in here, but that doesn't leave it without its own identity. You Are An Effigy
