Mirror Lady : Roman Candles ' Shapes (Spiderwoman )' seemed like a rush of blood on my part; an extreme case of over-excitement after thinking I'd stumbled on the next U.S-based blog darlings. But its charms were far from limited. The perfect next move for a band who win your heart with a fast-paced, jaunty number is to back it up with a discohall waltz of a second song. Stripped back it might be, but like ' Shapes ', ' Roman Candles ' relies on [...]
Mirror Lady Sad faced but all in all optimistic new tune from LA's Mirror Lady. Mirror Lady - Roman Candles ( mp3 )
[Here we'll look at some things you probably passed up when you were a kid because you were too busy playing Star Wars with your friend who was actually a jerk… and who threw a tantrum when you schooled him in NHL '96. What a little bitch. There are roots in the ground that still nurture.] Roman Candle Elliott Smith Cavity Search, 1994 (Released by Kill Rock Stars in 2010) Produced by Elliott Smith [...]

Communion was born in the Summer of 2006 at London's Notting Hill Arts Club. Founded by Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), former Cherbourg bassist Kevin Jones, and acclaimed producer Ian Grimble, it quickly grew into a flourishing community of musicians and fans alike, providing a first independent platform for the freshest young artists on London's circuit and beyond. Since its humble beginnings from a West London basement bar, Communion has branched out across the UK to Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, York, Oxford, Dublin and Belfast, and internationally to Sydney and New York City. Communion is now working closely [...]

Roman Candle have been around for a long time, playing their first shows around Chapel Hill, NC in 1997. Since then, they've appeared on several record labels, released three LPs and a handful of EPs, and attracted (positive) attention from some of the biggest critics in indie music. The band is now based in Nashville, TN, but they were kind enough to come to Broad Ripple, IN for a little session with us, despite window trouble with their van. Regarding their sound, one could probably compare them to Wilco or other [...]

John In The Morning always keeps me in the loop on musician birthdays and anniversary deaths (see: David Bowie ), and today was no different. Seven years ago today (10/21), the great Elliott Smith took his own life (or so the story goes). He's considered to be one of the great solo songwriters of our generation. What-you didn't know that? . I had only casual knowledge of Smith and his music back in the 90s. I wasn't cognizant of his sound and style until he received [...]

If you're a follower of mine on Last.fm you may have seen me constantly playing this album over the last week or so. Even though they've been around for a while, and their album has been out since June, I kept hearing people talking about them and just didn't check them out. Then I finally got their album a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to stop listening since. It's a well-written and hugely emotive album, focusing on excellent musicianship as well as creating an atmosphere that's at times haunting and hopeful, and at others bursting [...]
Official Site | Bandcamp I love random finds on bandcamp, and after searching the "indie pop" tag I found this band. It didn't take long for me to realize that this was my type of band with quotable lyrics, a sense of humor as evident in their why modern radio, and that alt-folk/americana sound. A further investigation (i.e. scanning their website) of the band showed that they are a heavily reviewed and widely liked band by paste magazine, my old kentucky blog, billboard underground, they even have a daytrotter session under their belts. They are a [...]
