McCarthy Trenching - The Most Attractive Disguise Zou het te vroeg zijn voor een kerstliedje? Lijkt me eerlijk gezegd niet - de pepernoten liggen tenslotte al in de winkels. Christmas Song is misschien wel het mooiste nummer van het nieuwe album van McCarthy Trenching . Het is zo'n nummer waarin alles klopt. De piano, de 'brushes', die omfloerste vocalen van Dan McCarthy en de stem van Orenda Fink van Azure Ray op de achtergrond dragen allemaal aan bij aan de gedragen sfeer van het nummer. McCarthy Trenching is een van de acts [...]

Time for the 2nd installment in our new weekly feature - The Monday Mixtape . In today's edition we turn to the season at hand - Autumn. Living in SoCal makes it almost impossible to feel the season - especially with Indian Summer lasting well into November around these parts. Still autumn has a very distinct tone and feel. I find myself gravitating more to folk music, singer songwriters, and country music around this time of year. I also tend to focus on lyrics and story telling rather than hooks [...]

A music blogger needs a couple of go to labels for when the well runs dry. These labels need to have obsessively good taste, need to be free and easy with mp3's, and for me they need to release music that speaks to the heart. Team Love is one such go to label for me. Amazingly I could probably live happily ever after with just the records they've released over the past few years. The guy from McCarthy Trenching (Dan McCarthy) has been opening for and playing with many of the successful projects [...]

McCarthy Trenching is one of Omaha Nebraska's best kept secrets, snowed in his cabin recording bleack blue-grass and country rock tunes on 8-track tape machines. Though he is a bit under the radar MacCarthy has collaborated with a number of big shot names from the area including Bright Eyes (also signed to his label, Team Love ), Tilly and The Wall along with various others residing in the cornhusker state. His last release was a self-tilted 'best of' from his previous three records, which were not widely distributed. His next album, Calamity Drenched is due in September, and [...]

That Omaha ain't that great sometimes isn't really news. I'm from Detroit; tell me about it. That glimmer of hope for a better tomorrow is usually dashed somehow, in political scandal, murder, the weather, whatever. McCarthy Trenching, fronted by Nebraska singer-songwriter Dan McCarthy, captures acutely the extinguishing of that glimmer. All three of these songs are about as down as you can get, full of missed opportunity, booze, etc. And based on how natural and real they sound, you'd think McCarthy was a Michigan boy. team-love.com [...]

McCarthy trenching it would seem is Nebraskas best kept secret. Signed to Conor Obersts (Bright eyes) team love label McCarthy's self titled official debut came out in April 2007. He's toured with fellow talented Nebraskans Mayday , Neva Dinova , The Good Life , Orenda Fink , Maria Taylor , Bright Eyes and many others which may give you some idea of his sound. A mixture of Bar room waltzes, poppy alt-country and some sweet ballads make up the album. I think 2008 could be the year McCarthy steps from [...]

Im Jahr 2003 gründen Conor Oberst und Nate Krenkel das Label Team Love und das war eine wunderbare Idee. Team Love hat eine besondere Art, die CDs ihrer Künstler unter die Leute zu bringen. Auf ihrer Website kann man mehrere Songs der jeweiligen Alben umsonst herunterladen und sich dann entscheiden, ob man sich die ganze Platte kaufen will oder nicht. Und zumindest bei mir klappt das wunderbar! Nachdem vor ein paar Wochen David Dondero mit seinem wunderbaren Album Simple Love in mein Leben getreten ist, bin ich [...]

I do not know too much about Omaha's McCarthy Trenching. Over the past five years he has played and toured with Mayday, Neva Dinova, The Good Life, Orenda Fink, Maria Taylor, Bright Eyes and many others. Now he is stepping out on his own with his self-titled release from Team Love records. With half the songs being culled from his 2003 demo "Old Habits", that was recorded in a basement in a since demolished house, and the remaining tracks coming from his 2006 release "It's Got Nothing to do with Drinking" sessions. What we end up with is 13 tracks [...]

Yesterday I received the self-titled McCarthy Trenching album I'd been anticipating since seeing them open for Bright Eyes in Milwaukee . Their opening show was both an absolute pleasure and big surprise having never heard of them prior. Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska the group is anchored and was founded by Dan McCarthy, whose storytelling tales resonate through each song on the album. The album was released on Conor Oberst's Team Love label, who aptly describe the album as "a mixture of tear-in-beer waltzes, anthemic drinking songs, and restless tunes of longing [...]

McCarthy Trenching Self-Titled Team Love , April 24 th 2007 Team Love has come to release some very eclectic albums: Tilly's dance-pop, Berg Sans Nipple's bizarre electro sound, Mars Black's straight up hip-hop. McCarthy Trenching fits into the David Dondero/Craig Wedren set of Team Love artists: solid folk and/or country acts with a lo-fi edge. [...]
