Day 2 on our 2-day ramble off the indie pop highway and quite by chance it is again a slice of alt country that is filling our senses with glee (or not given the melodrama on offer). This one comes courtesy of the Seattle alt country combo Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden and while initially quite morose it somehow finds a second gear that could indeed entice the young chap into making the trip with his forlorn girl. The band has been feted from Pitchfork to Sound Magazine and it is easy to see why given that they [...]
The very low $6 door charge actually gets you a copy of the ten track song cycle, as sweet and bracing as any full length to come out this year. read more

As part of the first installment of the Cameraphonic Sessions, I decided to make the most of my time up at Bumbershoot and to catch a few acts who would be willing to be part of the series. I met with Kate Tucker and her guitarist, Mark Isakson, at an Eastlake apartment building very reminiscent of [...]
Photo by Thomas Stuby Below is the first of many entries like this. We call it the "Turn the Page" posts and it's where we flip the idea of 52 Shows around. Instead of a writer reviewing a show, we have the artist on stage tell us what their experience was like. This was the first one we got and I'm sorry it took so long to get up (we were hoping for a dedicated page, but for now, this will do). Anyway, enjoy. And many thanks to Kate Tucker & The [...]
I haven't been talking much about Tim Young's Contrast Podcast . I participate almost every week and it's a great musical treat whether I'm there or not. If I don't participate, it's not because I can't think of a song that fits the theme; it's usually because I think of too many songs and can't make up my mind! Indecisive = me. The theme this week, Contrast Podcast #121, submitted by another blog friend, Marcy of Lost In Your Inbox , is Days of the Week , which gives us an opportunity for [...]
Been absolutely loving the self-titled album from Kate Tucker & the Sons of Sweden . A friend put a song of theirs on a mix CD for me a few weeks ago and I was immediately drawn to the track "In Your Dreams" . I decided to investigate their tunes further and I am so glad I did. Kate has such a stunning voice and the whole album is just solid. This is definately one of those albums to listen to on a rainy day or a Sunday morning. Kate Tucker & the Sons [...]
I'm suffering from a bit of writer's block today. I just feel tired and unable to write about various bands I wanted to post on. I have a few random mp3s on my hard drive from bands that have very little information on them or that I haven't bothered checking out more then one track. I think you can call this a personal one hit wonder. I actually enjoy all these tracks and for whatever reason I haven't pursued to look for more mp3s and band information. I've decided to link to the band's myspaces (even though [...]

Songs That Might Otherwise Pass You By Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden, "In the End" Slide Guitar + Tremulous Female Voice + Heartbreaking Subject Matter = Lola crying like Britney Spears when her BFF told her he didn't like her BF. Well, I'd like to think there's more substance to this song than anything Britney's ever done. Also, I don't have a baby Yorkie. I do have enough heartbreak
Kate Tucker's new album is best when she sings the slow, sad ones, since the more rocking numbers sound deflated in comparison.
if tense situations tend to set your heart beating fast, faster, say, than cars drive through the state of montana, which, for those of you not familiar with the great american west, is something like an anglicized version of the autobahn, well, it seems you might could have a friend in kate tucker . kate tucker & the sons of sweden are a folk pop band out of seattle who recently released their debut, self-titled lp on red valise records . two tracks off that debut are on share below, including the aforementioned [...]
Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden came out with their self titled debut album last November. As far as I know, you can only get it at their myspace page, itunes, and Amazon. They are an indie pop group from Ballard Washington. I think that they are pretty fantastic. The songs are very intimate and emotional. Kate Tucker has amazing vocals that are sweet like honey. The sound and lyrics will draw you in. If you like Neko Case then you should enjoy Kate Tucker. In the End [...]

( photo credit ) Running down a staircase after a blow-up. Adrenaline pumping, remorse seeping in. Already making excuses, and making excuses for your excuses. Not entirely sure where you can go, but knowing exactly where it is that you can't go. At least not yet.
