It's all coming back completely full circle. Folk music proves itself time and time again to be one of the truest influences in the musical world. A touch of Americana blended with a grave sense of indie rock realism rarely turns out badly. And in the case of Jesse Payne 's latest album Buffalo and it's kick off single "Take Me", we might have possibly found the closest thing to perfection. With a sound that is just a little bit country, and a little bit folk n' roll, Payne is a truly entertaining artist [...]

Jesse Payne's voice drips with sorrow, as if it were hitting a cold wooden floor softly and methodically. "Take Me" is the opening track off Buffalo, out October 4 via the Capture Music label, and it's a comfortable-sounding song that lulls and dwells deep inside of you. Download it below.

von herzen kommend, aber frei von sentimentalität. fahl und belegt zuweilen, aber nie ketzerisch, dunkel und verfärbt. americana in den besten momenten, angetäuscht stilverwandtes, unbändig gelegentlich, frei und offen. beschwingt, wenn es eng wird, auswege suchend. stimmlich eingeengt, zielt die musik von jesse payne auf weite und tugenden. die nicht nur mittelfristig bestand haben. die arbeit des aus birmingham, alabama, stammenden musikers impliziert naturelemente, das ausgesetztsein, die konsequenz täglichen handelns, die unmittelbarkeit des sein. mehr noch. hier sucht jemand die beschreibung all dessen, was uns umtreibt. er tut dies auf eine sehr ergreifende weise. ohne [...]

This year, November arrived with freezing temperatures and rainy days, forcing us to reluctantly break out our winter coats and dread having to brave the elements. However, as of tomorrow, we'll have Birmingham, Ala., native Jesse Payne's new album to keep us warm while winter slowly creeps in. The aptly titled Nesting (Capture Music Inc.) [...]

I'm always amazed when I come across a song that suits my mood to a "T." Jesse Payne's "Manhattan Project" is one of those songs for me tonight. It's mellow, pensive, and Payne's vocals seem to ache with every word. The song was released sometime last month, but since Payne's new album, Nesting, is set to drop on November 9th, I thought it would be a good time to revisit it. Here is how his official website describes the record:

i got pretty excited when an email graced my inbox earlier today proclaiming that birmingham's jesse payne is releasing a record on 11.9. then i noticed that the album was entitled nesting , which sounded familiar. went back to last year and i had written, briefly, about mr payne and his record nesting , which i thought was coming out in august of last year? i guess this is the national release, and it rightfully deserves one. still im a bit confused on what constitutes a national release? i need to listen to nesting again, cause [...]

three things i would like to share: 1. twilight singer/gutter twins bassist and all around awesome bloke, scott ford, is illin. sadly, not in the he has a pretty bad cold/cough/flu kind of way, but in a pretty serious fuckin way. he's is going in for surgery in two days, and of course like a lot of musicians/artists/fellow americans he doesnt have insurance. you can read all about it via his site , and if you can give a bit, no matter how much, i know he would be appreciative. 2. roadside graves [...]

Jesse Payne's new album 'Nesting' is out in a little under a fortnight and it is quite a treat. For one I love the production values (don't normally comment on this but it just sounds so lush), which really allows the excellent tunes to fulfil their undoubted ambition. The are quite a few highpoints and I struggled to choose between 'Heavy Cotton Hands' and this absolute beaut 'Yards Of Paint'. The slowly building momentum is expertly drawn with all manner of side attractions. Guess you could call it off kilter, a lolloping piece of audio for those pining for early [...]
Vandaveer will release a new album, Divide & Conquer, on August 25 th .

It's very well done and well worth a listen. The band will also tour in support of the new album. Turpentine Vanaveer : Website [...]
