Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Brendan Benson and Will Oldham, aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy , could barely say "mama" when Graham Nash released his critically-acclaimed solo album, 'Songs for Beginners.'

All photos by Laura Ciekot J. Tillman has been busy. He joined indie-folk darlings Fleet Foxes last summer, touring in support of their Sun Giant EP. But Tillman also continued his solo output, releasing his fifth solo album, the hauntingly beautiful Vacilando Territory Blues earlier this year, and is already back with more - Year in the Kingdom is slated to be released on September 22. Tillman brought his revival to San Francisco last night, with support from Oakland duo [...]
After releasing five albums and playing the drums with a little band called Fleet Foxes , a man known as J. Tillman is set to release Year In The Kingdom on September 22nd (via Western Vinyl ).

Moving his way around the country and [...]

Aptos est

The Moore Brothers' new record Aptos has been out since the beginning of March. That's a very short time, except for music bloggers that are now covering releases that are coming out in June and July. Clearly The Moore Brothers didn't hire any of the seemingly hundreds of pr companies cropping up to promote to music blogs or they would have been all over Elbo.ws and Hype by now whether they deserved it or not. Deserve it they do. The new record has received great reviews from a few high profile online outlets [...]
A ceux que la mouvance néo-folk incarnée par Devendra Banhart (et autres) fait bailler, je conseille vivement l'écoute du nouvel album des Moore Brothers.
