Artist: Morning

I just got a great review in one of Sweden's bigges morning papers, and the rest of the world is not late on following the trend. TOANWTS is appointed the prestigious title of " Album of the Month " on renowned music blog Bluesbunny " Perhaps her most interesting artistic choice however is the sound of the album this time around. Country flavoured sonic touches abound on many of the songs thus giving the album an underlying focus and, [...]

On the ground this morning was a dusting of snow. I even hesitate to use dusting to describe that snow, but I don't know a smaller word for the amount on the ground. When I went to get the papers, the air reminded me of early spring when the mornings are chilly but hint of a warmer day. It is only 39° now but it is supposed to be in the mid-402s later. I know this is only February, and I know spring is a long way off, but I can't help but think of spring on a day like [...]

Converge are in the studio right now, and have just announced a two-week tour that will kick off on April 1. And in case you're retarded, that obviously means they're going to have completed their new album sometime in March. (Unless they're doing some Metallica-esque "Escape from the Studio" deal, but I find that unlikely.) [...]

In an act of passionate label-on-label love, Polarsets - who not long ago released their fantastic Morning 73 on Neon Gold Records - have gone ahead and remixed the second release to come out of our ATG Records imprint, Mausi 's "sol." The remix warps the track, fitting it to a pulsating tropical dance beat not unlike the one found in Polarsets' "Morning" and "Sunset." Next time you find yourself dancing on the beach into the wee hours of the morning, make sure you fit this one [...]

By Jon Herriot If anyone was to cover Canadian R&B sensation The Weeknd, why not a band named after a province in the same country? Saskatchewan covers this track well, keeping the same dreamy vibes we are used to with The Weeknd tracks. What started as a suggestion from a friend has turned into a cover that will surely garner these guys some attention. Saskatchewan - The Morning (The Weeknd) Saskatchewan [...]

I had a great time playing at the Cock'n Bull last night. It felt like a mini festival as we were 4 bands playing, had a bonfire going and the stage was outside in a little party tent. I met some really cool people and the other bands were great too. As if it's not enough with this blog, Facebook and everything I've decided to start yet another blog to keep up during this tour. It's called "My morning view" and I'm posting a picture from where I wake up every day. As we're traveling in the RV, [...]

Today I started my Drivin' & Dreaming tour in an unofficial manner by visiting Rollin's College's campus radio station WPRK 91.5. I hung out with Roxanne and played some tunes in the studio. Here's a pic from my little morning sneak tour start. Me and Roxanne at WPRK 91.5

Coffee - Fueling Life In an attempt to cut out soda as an energy source we've been drinking more coffee these days. Here is a nice article that recaps the many health benefits of a good ol' cup of joe.

E - Part Four of H.A.T.E by Akribi So you thought the year was over? That there would be no more Sofia-songs to enjoy? Well you thought wrong. As a special treat we still have "E - Part Four of H.A.TE" coming up December 1st like an early Christmas gift. I'm so happy to tell you that the last EP of the H.A.T.E saga is being recorded by Swedish band Akribi , who is the first band in the project to have a female singer (and she's pretty damn [...]

The Twilight Sad will release their third long-player, No One Can Ever Know , in early 2012 and if the first two tasters are anything to go by then it's going to be something very special indeed. First single Sick , is a dark (obviously), synth-driven monster of a song with front-man James Graham's vocals taking on an even more sinister role than before. The band also released Kill It In The Morning, which they gave away as a free download via their official website [...]

Polarsets are back with a new single entitled "Morning". While "Leave Argentina" might have been that one party you can't stop talking about, "Morning" refers to that chill, after party, where you're beyond drunk, and just want, some topical sounds to move around to. Ya know that feeling? Check out the b-side to the single, "Sunshine Eyes", below. Morning single by Polarsets

The day is warmer than it's been, the sun is shining and the air is quite still. I was on the deck just after I woke up and thought how much about how much I love the mornings almost anywhere I am. When I was in Europe, I was always up so early breakfast had yet to be served. I'd go outside and listen to and watch the stirrings of the day. I'd smell the air as the morning air smells different. It has a freshness full of possibilities. In Ghana, the mornings begin early, but they were always my [...]

I know it is Wednesday, my day off from Coffee, but I thought I'd post a short entry today to keep up the suspense for tomorrow's episode of Kat's Travels to Africa. This morning I woke up at six so my body is beginning to adjust to US time. I went outside on the deck as I usually do just to get the feel of the morning. It seemed chilly to me, damp from the morning dew. It was and is still quiet with only the birds greeting the day. I saw a grey squirrel at one of [...]

Yesterday I touched down at Dulles, flew to Boston, took a bus to the Cape and was in my house by 5. By 8 I was asleep-on Ghana time that was late for me, midnight. This morning I was up at 4:30 and went out to the deck. The morning had a chill and a dampness. It was quiet. The whole street was still asleep. I decided to do a bit of laundry, out of necessity, brew real honest to goodness coffee and read the paper, my usual morning. In Ghana the mornings are busy and loud. Rosters [...]

The Weeknd presents his new mixtape titled "Thursday". The second part of the trilogy announced, it has its small share of marvels, full of Soul and definitely is the Life of the Party. The sexy voice of Abel and the instrumental rock, make it a monster of sensuality. It is so natural and smooth that [...]

Keiran Hebden has been making tripped-out instrumental melodies under the alias Four Tet since the late nineties, and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down since. His breakthrough track "Everything is Alright" (off of 20012s Pause ) has been used on NPR and in various film soundtracks, and he's since released a slew of other recognizable songs that have kept the British producer at the forefront of his genre. Hebden is back with a new track, "Locked," that has all the makings of a trademark Four Tet track: subdued, atmospheric melodies that are [...]

Read part 1 here Saturday morning heralds a distinct shift in the weather. Whereas Friday remained surprisingly nice for most of the day, the sun is officially no more. It's particularly vile early on but we optimistically head down to the Comedy tent for Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Judging by the crowds, we are about 90 minutes too late so seeking shelter we somehow find ourselves in the Cabaret tent just as some god-awful act that I've long since forgotten the name of gets underway. Within two [...]
