The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 2: The Singles (b-sides, deep cuts, YouTube one-offs, & more one-shot coverage)

Dec 21, 2011, 11:51am Cover Lay Down
The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 2: The Singles (b-sides, deep cuts, YouTube one-offs, & more one-shot coverage) As we noted over the weekend in The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 1: Tribute Albums and Cover Collections , it's been a good year for full-album coverage. Overall, though, despite the fact that, in terms of sheer mass, covers from tributes overwhelm singletons in my collection, what I've found this year is that a significant majority of the songs that lingered, and demanded overplay, came from a mixed bag of borderline genre albums and single shot coverfolk tracks, via the usual sources, from YouTube, Soundcloud, studio appearances, website and bandcamp singles, and more.

Triple 'Tube Tuesday: ortoPilot covers Oasis, Massive Attack, & Hope, with 22 more to come by Christmas!

Dec 13, 2011, 12:16pm Cover Lay Down
Dec 5 - Don't Go Away - Oasis
After five years of streamed video coverage, three original albums, and eight LPs of downloadable covertunes, this year's Advent Calendar from well-known YouTube coverfount ortoPilot (aka Manchester-based multi-instrumentalist Matt Hutchison) is a thing of joy and wonder: 25 coversongs, released one a day until Christmas, and though many of them come pop-polished and high-concept, already I've fallen in love. ortoPilot's folkier, stripped-down covers, represented here by takes on Tracy Chapman and Oasis, are delicate, yet bluesy. His Cure cover is a lightly electronic folkrocker, his Coldplay cover is quietly [...]

ortoPilot - The Weatherman

Nov 30, 2010, 3:53am The Ripple Effect
ortoPilot - The Weatherman From 1976 through 1979 you couldn't find a rock AM radio station that didn't have one or more Al Stewart songs in the rotation. Hits such as "The Year Of The Cat," "On The Border" and "Time Passages" provided a steady and jazzy folk rock background to the times. Ten years earlier Bob Dylan crashed his motorcycle and was injured. During his convalescence he wrote demos for other up and coming talent including "This Wheel's On Fire" for Julie Driscoll ; "You Ain't Going Nowhere" for The Byrds [...]

[MP3] ortoPilot: "Stay One More Day"

Dec 24, 2009, 3:38pm Knox Road
[MP3] ortoPilot: "Stay One More Day" To say much about this song would take away from its inherent beauty. We talk a lot about the songs we post here; but experience comes first with music (And, uh, we didn't get much from the email, so that doesn't help matters...) Listen to this song at night. It might be reminiscent of some other artists (insert _____ here - I don't want to spoil it!), but its singular in its elegance. Is it sappy? Yes. Is this the perfect time of year for it? Yes. ortoPilot - "Stay One More Day" [...]

ortoPilot

Jan 16, 2009, 1:56pm True To Sound
ortoPilot are a small, unsigned, band from Manchester who tbh, I've never actually heard. But, their lead singer is just immense. I've been a fan of him for years now, he's been doing covers of songs and putting them on youtube and he just has the perfect voice. There are 8 original songs on his youtube account and 38 covers, all of which are just awesome. Unlike Empire of the Sun and Asteroids Galaxy Tour (who I've posted about previously), I can't say that these guys will be big in 2009, simply because they haven't made it big in any [...]
