Angel Olsen 's Half Way Home is being released on CD, which is just as well as it deserves to be out there and as accessible as possible. Astonishing critics upon its release last year, her second release on Bathetic Records was a bolt from the blue. From the album's opening track, "Acrobat," Olsen simultaneously announces and differentiates herself in an industry where heads all around were scratched as people sought to place her. New Kate Bush ? No, not nearly as whimsical. [...]
Favorite Albums of the Year Our last post of the year is the favorite albums list. Just like last year , I'll present my list of favorite albums from the year before I jump on my flight back to Denver. 2012 was an impressive year for albums, in my opinion. Last year, I had 3 albums that I loved and a bunch of [...]
Top 12 Albums of 2012 (Julia) 12. Tramp - Sharon Van Etten Favorite Track : "Give Out" Totally enchanted by Sharon Van Etten's voice. Such a good album for a rainy day, and considering it rains most of the time here in Seattle, it's pretty much a good album for every day. 11. There's No Leaving Now - The Tallest Man on Earth [...]
Top 10 albums of 2012 Well, it's December, it's a week until Christmas, it's midweek and I'm drinking.

Here, we start with a list of the top 10 albums which I have enjoyed muchly this year. In a seperate post [...]
December 17, 2012 The Muso's scribes have been good enough to once again combine forces and continue their yearly undertaking of coming up with the list of albums that they feel have made the most impact in the past 12 months so below you'll find what made it in to the upper reaches of the chart. 20 - First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar Kenny McMurtrie: "Reversing the [...]
Back in January First Aid Kit released the fantastic The Lion's Rior, an album that we described on which "the sisters manage to so effortlessly create a timeless sound that is vulnerable yet musically mature can only be commended, and thoroughly enjoyed. Transcending the expectations of the listener, The Lion’s Roar has without a doubt become a contender for the most beautiful album of the year." The Lion's Roar has gone on to sell over 150,000 copies worldwide and 'Blue', the third single to be taken from it, has had this little [...]

Tweet I like to imagine that if Fleet Foxes had two younger sisters who spent summers in the country with their Auntie Neko Case , they would sound like First Aid Kit . Of course, no such familial ties exist, but musical ties certainly do. Most obviously: harmony. Johanna and Klara Söderberg spend much of "The Lion's Roar" harmonizing wonderfully through verse, chorus and bridge. The bright tonality and rich quality of their vocals are the true backbone [...]
The press release for ‘The Lion’s Roar’, the sophomore album by First Aid Kit , makes much of the fact that this album was recorded in America and allowed the Soderberg sisters to channel their favourite folk and country music made in the good ol’ USA. Maybe therein lies the problem: ‘The Big Black and the Blue’ released in 2010 was far more intimate, as if they’d lit a fire inside their hearts and welcomed you inside. For some reason I just don’t get that feeling with ‘The Lion’s Roar’, so maybe [...]
Qualche anno fa, nel periodo in cui mi affidavo a Youtube per scoprire chi fossero e cosa facessero i Fleet Foxes , mi imbattei per la prima volta in loro. Andava sempre a finire che, digitando “tiger mountain peasant song”, tra i primi risultati uscissero loro, le due sorelle Soderberg e il loro video “Fleet Foxes – Tiger Mountain Peasant Song (cover)”. Il video riprendeva Johanna e Klara sedute nel mezzo di una foresta, che accompagnate da una chitarra acustica, eseguivano una cover a dir poco suggestiva del pezzo delle 'volpi'. Mai avrei [...]
