'Wishing Well' is the debut EP from New York based Irish act 'Blackbird' and it's a release of four songs that I adore. You know a song is special when It rotates around your head keeping you awake after just a few listens. I also judge songs in my home when I hear my boys singing along to the tune and in both cases the title track of the debut EP had that effect on us. 'Wishing Well' is catchy, [...]

The video for Blackbird & The Storm's track Broken Wings was shot on Super 8 last summer in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. It perfectly suits the samples of crickets, toads, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, hummingbirds, songbirds and wings-in-flight which are mixed alongside musical instruments and Marie-Juliette Bird’s intoxicating voice. We also have the irreverent and effervescent indie rock of Crash & The Coots and their video for Bottle Rhythm which comes from new EP Hill Rise . From Australia the garage blues of The Blackwater Fever and the video for [...]

I had almost entirely forgotten about the electronic debut album Summer Heart from Blackbird Blackbird until it recently came on my ipod (been happening a lot lately since getting rid of cable tv), and while it doesn't stand up as well as when i first heard it (pretty minimal), i imagine it's a bit better when it's not 30 degrees outside. Coincidentally, today I got an email alerting me of their (his?) new video for "It's a War", from their Boracay Planet EP, which was released back in [...]
The beautiful thing about jazz is that one can turn just about anything into a great jazz tune. Improvisation is, after all, the lifeblood of jazz. Listening to jazz pianist Brad Mehldau's adaptation of the Beatles' timeless " Blackbird" shows how jazz's subject matter knows no limits. Mehldau - who himself has adapted compositions by Radiohead, Paul Simon, Nick Drake, and works of other genres into jazz standards - brings his idiosyncratic lyricism to the soaring melodies that Lennon and McCartney authored so many years ago. Though he [...]

We've kind of been frothing over COSMO JARVIS recently. The ridiculously talented dude always seems to be keeping himself busy with some sort of artistic project. He's released his third LP Think Bigger , followed by a couple of singles and clips that feature on the new album. He's also very recently premiered his feature film The Naughty Room . Not only did he write it, he acts in it too. Before he kicks off his first Australian show in Byron Bay on Boxing Day, we were very lucky to have [...]

Die erste Werkausstellung von A Crashed Blackbird Called Rosehip reizt die Sinne und macht St. Gallen zur heimlichen Kulturhauptstadt des Jahres. "Wir stellen uns den akustischen Raum als leere Leinwand vor. Jedes Geräusch, jeder Ton gleicht einer Farbe und löst beim Zuhörer Emotionen aus. Die Klänge, Störgeräusche und unsere Stimmen im richtigen 'Zeitabstand' auf die Leinwand 'gemalt', ermöglichen den Zuhörern ganze Geschichten zu sehen oder zu empfinden." Dominik Kesseli und Marie Malou aus St. Gallen malen akustisch, und [...]

Kiwi heavy weights Fat Freddy's Drop are back on the new music buzz today, dropping a new single for their soon-come LP, Blackbird . And they've even been so nice as to give the damn thing away for free. Well in. 'Silver and Gold' is a tale of the almighty dollar, with front man Joe Dukie (a.k.a. Dallas Tamaira) laying down the perils of chasing the cash-money. Over to FFD for their musings: "Taking a step closer to touchdown, 'Silver and Gold' is the first single from our [...]

Al grabar su más reciente canción, Blackbird Blackbird convocó a Niia y a su talento vocal para darle vida a Running Up That Hill . Si bien el cover difiere bastante de la versión original interpretada por Kate Bush , llegando al minuto 3:20 las cosas se aclaran un poco más dejando al descubierto claras reminiscencias del single lanzado en 1985. Mikey Maramag lo ha [...]
by Tiana Feng Halifax's Amelia Curran released her latest album Spectators last month. Here's the video for Black Bird on Fire from the set.

Based from inside the landscape of Brooklyn, New York, the band of Black Bird White Sky exists. Looking after things on vocals, guitar and drums is Ronnie Shingelo , while Luke Wagman takes care of the beats & samples and Jenna Perry is on synths & backing vocals. Amid a healthy and vibrant 10-track LP that engages across a straightforward luminosity of alternative illumination, a 4-track remix EP from Black Bird White Sky traverses through a glowing dainty wisp - raising melodic strength and constant strings. For those hanging around the [...]

Action Bronson and Thelonious Martin hook up for one hell of a new banger, "Blackbird". The song is part of an interesting series called Closed Sessions, which it looks like Ruby Hornet is heading up. Check out full details below from the source. [ via ] Shortly after we secured Action Bronson to play the November edition of Digital Freshness , I told him jokingly via Twitter that Chicago’s finest meats and cheeses awaited him in the windy city upon arrival. I say that to many of our guests, but this time it took on a [...]

Yoko Temple | Blackbird Jevon James is a Cardiff-based producer who’s just about managed to lure me back into the distinct, suffocating black hole that is chillwave (shall we start calling it ‘pop with an 80s, lo-fi aesthetic’? I’m more comfortable with that). Produced with cassette recording, there’s little avoiding the fact that this fits snugly into previously dismissed genres, but there’s something truly brilliant about ‘ Blackbird ’ - I can’t get enough of it. Stream: Yoko Temple [...]

This is Cut Chemist's first release in six years and apparently the first track he wrote after getting out of jail? With a rebellious chip on his shoulder and pent-up frustrations, Cut Chemist teams up with L.A. superstar (in his own right), Blackbird, who's made a name for himself with his frantic energy and highly volatile music. A perfect pairing of minds for "Outro (Revisited)" if you ask me. What's more, this video his HIGHLY enjoyable. You can even catch glimpses of the Chemist doing his thing on the turn tables. Tweet
