by tex We didn't receive very many quality jams this week. Either we've been getting spoiled lately or people are distracted by the holiday crunch. Either way, we were able to find three gems in the chaotic mess that is the QC inbox. Enjoy another installment of more music we didn't post on (until now), after the jump.. I really enjoy the Miniature Tigers from Phoenix. [...]
Last we heard, Sara Lov was about to start work on her debut album, but we never expected to see it so soon! Apparently, Lov has been on a roll ever since she teamed up with Nettwerk a few months back, first releasing The Young Eyes EP , and now finalizing her forthcoming debut album, Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming . It's almost as if Lov has been on a mission to rapidly fire out some killer new tunes with Seasoned Eyes [...]

The Raveonettes' Sune Rose Wagner has spent the past seven years offering up noir-ish gutter rock and fuzzed out pop with his bandmate Sharin Foo. This week, the Danish-bred songwriter made his debut as a solo artist with his self-titled release, ten tracks of vintage Specter-esque sounds and hazy rock-n-roll. The album comes on the heels of a successful year for the Raveonettes. Distinctly setting it apart from his output with Foo, Wagner's solo album is delivered exclusively in his native tongue. But don't fret, Danish is a beautiful language, complimenting the US transplant's soothing coo perhaps even better than [...]
Photo By Charles Kang A friend of mine turned me onto the Devics a few years ago when I was lamenting the loss of Mark Sandman and that wonderful Morphine sound. Since that time, we've had Orchestra Morphine, Twinemen and A.K.A.C.O.D., but I never forgot about the Devics. I found their sound a bit more mournful than Mark's, but captivating nonetheless. Devics lead singer Sara Lov has her new solo EP out now. Entitled The Young Eyes , it's much closer to Tori Amos than Morphine, but who said that was a bad [...]
we received a notice the other day about the upcoming debut album from sarah lov (pictured), called seasoned eyes were beaming , which features as the first single a cover of arcade fire's "my body is a cage." definitely like how her take on it starts more than how it finishes, but it's a decent rendition and, more importantly, reminded us of a few covers we'd been storing up for you all. consider this, then, a bit of covers ep magic. sarah lov - my body is a cage [...]

Sara Lov is starting to make quite the splash on the music blog scene- and for good reason. Sara is not new to the performing realm- she is most commonly known as being a member of the Devics, but has recently split off to pursue her own music. After coming out with her first solo debut album, Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming, the indie/pop/folk singer was signed to the Nettwerk label this past

(REPOSTED with NO DOWNLOADS; see HERE for more) We're a bit off schedule here at Cover Lay Down, and for that I apologize; I wrote this post for our usual Wednesday deadline, but the part of my brain that used to be devoted to blogging appears to have been partially subsumed by the stress of impending host-loss, and the urgent need to re-imagine the blog in another form in order to continue blogging within what I continue to maintain are perfectly legitimate, legal boundaries. As I wrote this [...]

(image via nightmare brunette ) Ci sono ricascato. Non sono bastati questi giorni di distacco forzato da internet per farmi passare la mia dipendenza da web. Anzi. È peggiorata. Sono un drogato. Sono uno strafottutissimo drogato di internet. C'è poco da fà. È così. Punto e basta. Mi sono rapidamente messo in pari con le puntate arretrate delle varie serie tv. Ma mancano solo Californication e Smallville. Poca roba insomma. Ho approfittato della mancanza di connessione per guardare Pushing Daisies e Mad Men, di cui avevo [...]

After signing on with Nettwerk this summer, indie/folk performer Sara Lov has begun to find musical success on her own in Los Angeles, CA. The Hawaii-born singer, most commonly known for her work with Devics , recently decided to go solo and has since produced her first EP, The Young Eyes , which was digitally released earlier this week through iTunes and her website . Devics may have set the stage for Lov's career, perfectly capturing her dreamy, melancholy voice, [...]
Non è la prima che questo blog professa il suo esagerato amore nei confronti di Sara Lov e dei suoi Devics. Successe nel 2006 , in occasione dell'uscita dell'ultimo disco della band, ma anche l'anno dopo , quando la cantante californiana iniziò a diffondere il suo materiale solista, poi pubblicato in un EP autoprodotto (un oggetto bellissimo) e presentato in anteprima mondiale sulla spieggia dell'Hana-bi in un concerto memorabile (da cui proviene la foto qui sopra, scattata dal Paso e ospitata dalla Ele insieme ad altri begli scatti).

Love is warm, beautifully soft and with just one breath can send sweet tickle of chills throughout your soul. There is another Lov that shares this same embracing likeness, Sara Lov. One half of the postmodern pop group Devics, Sara's vocals have been described as Honeyed (NME), Haunting (The Sun), Angelic (The Independent), Hushed (Rock Sound). And Smokey, timbre-rich (MOJO). As the voice of Devics, Sara Lov has been a critical favorite in the UK—where Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde famously signed Devics to Bella Union. Devics toured with such bands as Black Heart Procession, The Delgados and Lift [...]
Here's a little something from Los Angeles/Italy based Sara Lov, a counterpart of the indie pop duo Devics. She's recently completed an intensely adorable and limited edition EP entitled Three Songs that features a trio of mellow and soft-hearted pieces. The disc itself is packaged in a hand-pressed screenprinted image ...
