Joseph Childress - 'Virginia' There's very little music (or even info) floating around out there regarding Joseph Childress. There are no releases, no official site, no label, no tour dates...Just a MySpace account and a handful of YouTube footage. I've already spoken about my love for the track Animal on more than one occassion, but it is [...]
epic 45 - 'Lost in Falling Light' I listened to this song while sitting on top of a mountain, staring out at a sea of gentle waves...and it couldn't have been more perfect. May Your Heart Be The Map is a soothing, softly flowing album ideal to get wrapped up in on a shimmering sunmmer's day. [...]

Monomono - 'Tire Loma Da Nigbehin' A burst of Afro-beat funk from Nigeria...just try not to bop to its rhythm. Photo by buradori
Sharon Van Etten - 'You Didn't Really Do That' I've just discovered this song and have made an instant connection with it. I want to plaster myself in the words and own it forever...so I've gone ahead and bought the EP via her website: $6 (€3.99) for a handmade CD of beautifully stark folk songs recorded [...]

Ibrahim Electric - 'Fela' I caught these guys letting loose on the 'World Stage' at the Bray Jazz Festival last night. They're a Danish trio who combine elements of afro, funk and rock (with a little bit of surf guitar) into a rousing instrumental ensemble with enough energy, fun and stage presence to keep all consistently [...]
Pepi Ginsberg - 'In My Bones' 'So come on, come on, come on...it's not over' Pepi Ginsberg had a good childhood: a bit wild and slightly irregular. She went to a private school, a public school, and then college in Philadelphia, where she found warehouses to play in, parks to meet in, and many a neon color to [...]

Our Sleepless Forest - 'Nomads' This album is a beautiful collection of sounds. If you get as little shut-eye as I do, you'll appreciate ambience as finely crafted as this. I cherish records seemingly created just for sleep (Lucky Pierre, Stars of the Lid, Echospace); whether it be soundtracking a 10 hour bus ride, a 32 [...]
