photo credit: Steven Cohen Minneapolis singer/songwriter Jeremy Messersmith just released his sophomore album, The Silver City . I featured Messersmith on the site two years ago when his debut album The Alcatraz Kid came out, and I've been following him ever since. As traditional as his music is, and as easy as it is to compare him to a more upbeat (happier) Elliott Smith, I've always found him to have a unique sound. His vocals are the forefront of his music, and I feel many similarly influenced musicians [...]
h/t Switchblade Comb Messersmith writes on the video's YouTube Page that "(t)his is (to the best of my knowledge) the first full length music video filmed with an iPhone. Special thanks to Saurik for the Cycorder app and the rest of the jailbreak community." Messersmith also notes that the "device being filmed is a vintage visualizer called a Sight 'N Sound." "Miracles" is taken from Messersmith's new album, The Silver City , which has its CD Release Party on the 25th: CD Release Show Thurs, Sept 25, 2008 [...]

Triple Rock Social Club : Wednesday, May 28 - 9:00 $14 21+ Devouring M83's recently released Saturdays = Youth involves little effort, its twelve tracks electing to browse through the last twenty some years of ambient while failing to neglect the lighthearted side of post punk. Take such a sound and the feelings that result, transpose everything to a live atmosphere with the addition of a full band and all of a sudden your Thursday night dance card is looking a lot less empty. - Chris DeLine [...]

Hello everyone, So I have a few things I would like to quickly bring up. The first thing is irrelevant to most of you, the second is a favor I need to ask of you. The third is "the best of Indie Muse"-Mp3's that hopefully you will like. Indiemuse.com has been here for a while, but some of you are newcomers. For those of you who don't have time to go through all of my first band posts, I want to aggregate some of the Mp3's so you can have a listen. If they are on this [...]
I was turned on to Minneapolis's Jeremy Messersmith by fellow Minnesotan Dan Wilson, a guy who knows a little about writing a crafty tune of two. Well, actually not a little, but a lot. Jeremy's recent self-released album, The Alcatraz Kid, is an excellent collection of songs. You can't help notice some of the Elliot Smith, Eels, and teenage symphony to god influences, but Messersmith is
I was turned on to Minneapolis's Jeremy Messersmith by fellow Minnesotan Dan Wilson , a guy who knows a little about writing a crafty tune of two. Well, actually not a little, but a lot. So I immediately went out and after a listen to one song I bought Jeremy's self-released album, The Alcatraz Kid . You can't help notice some of the Elliot Smith, Eels, and teenage symphony to god influences, but Messersmith is definitely a guy to watch - particularly as he's [...]

Download: Best Friends Forever - "My Head In Front Of Your Head" Download: Cardinal Sin - "Bastards of Young" Download: Dosh - "Um, Circles and Squares" Download: Faux Jean - [...]
Åh vad jobbigt det kan vara. Att vada runt i den ständiga singer/songwriterströmmen kräver ju visst tålamod. Ibland känns det som att det finns för mycket som bara låter okej för att man riktigt ska orka engagera sig för att hitta guldkornen. Jeremy Messersmith. Från Minnesota. Tjugonågonting år gammal. Skägg. Kunde ha varit en i mängden, men bara det söta omslaget till fullängdaren The Alcatraz Kid skriker "Du har FEL !". Gemensamma nämnare: Elliot Smith och Beach Boys . Och även om referenserna är förståeliga tycker jag nog att det är Jon Brion [...]
