Tweet I don't make it a habit of actively seeking out acoustic pop music. I wouldn't even consider it to be one of my top three favorite genres. I find most of it to be either too lazy to listen to, or too opinionated for me to enjoy. Still, I somehow end up finding some diamonds in the rough. These usually end up being the longest lasting albums in my musical rotation. Long after the dance pop and new wave numbers have lost their flavor, artists like [...]

Since selling out London shows at the ICA and Union Chapel, Canadian folk instrumentalists Timber Timbre have brought their ragged yet restrained blues-esque sound to ever-growing levels of musical beauty, developing a chillingly elegant, unwavering power over all who listen. They've been announced as tour support for the forhcoming Laura Marling UK dates, before embarking on their own headline shows around the world including a date at London's Assembly Hall. March 1 - Corn Exchange, Cambridge* 2 - [...]

DZ Deathrays Review and pictures by Melissa Tan with additional photography by David Payne. St Jerome's Laneway Festival returned to the gates of Footscray Community Centre on Saturday. Walking through the gates at 11, it felt more like a small gathering on a residential road rather the large franchise patron St Jerome would have intended. The crowd dribbled in small droves as the morning went on, but the sun did not. As the afternoon went on, the raging celsius turned the pale, insipid skin of punters down [...]

Tweet Two things I know as fact about Canada; one, it's cold as hell. And two, they export some of the best modern singer songwriter music available. Not the whiny angst ridden varitey that you seem to get here in the US. Certainly, with artists like Laura Marling and Ellie Goulding , the UK is still leading the pack. But Canada is closing the gap quick. Especially with fantastic emerging artists like Kathleen Edwards . [...]

Beth Jeans Houghton has a promising sound. It feels like a marriage between folk-country and a little recent Natalie Merchant thrown into it. All quirk aside, she is a singer-songwriter from Newcastle upon Tyne who plays "sweet and gentle folk music." Beth Jeans Houghton has been described by The Guardian as looking like "Gwen Stefani with a touch of Brody Dalle", with a sound that "is Vashti Bunyan crossed with Nico and Laura Marling" In early 2011 Beth Jeans Houghton signed to Mute Records who announced that they will be releasing her debut long player in early 2012. The [...]

Hear the English songstress perform tracks off her last album, A Creature I Don't Know .
I never thought a Laura Marling song, would ever be able to be danced to, but I have been proved wrong. In her new video for "I Was Just A Card", Kate Jablonski choreographed these kids to bring out all the emotion that Marling pours out in each and every note. This is off her 3rd album, A Creature I Don't Know . Laura Marling - "I Was Just A Card"

Photo by JC McIlwaine, jcmcilwaine.com Oh, women. Such fascinating creatures. Normally, I tend to consider my wife Jenny fairly non-jealous. I have female friends. I tell stories about funny events that happened involving women from the past. And I gush about several female singers. Usually, none of this bothers her. But I have come to realize that there is a limit. Gentlemen, you may not know this, but there is a finite number of things you may say about another woman before it becomes a problem for your ladyfriend. You can be watching an [...]

There's a reason for this and it's to do with the first video / comments – but please enjoy the others as well. Perfume Genius – Hood [...]

Tweet This winter has been kind of a bummer. Where I'm at, we haven't experienced even one good snow. I really love winter. Not so much being cold all the time, but the feeling that you get while listening to some great winter music. Last year, for me, it was Fleet Foxes . There's something about waking up to a winter wonderland outside, making coffee, and listening to some great cold weather-inspired albums. Needless to say that around this time, I start looking for music [...]
Girl, do we love us some strums from alternative guru Jack Penate. This is more on the acoustic route rather than the ska-alt that we got used to from him. Not really our cup of tea but any new material from him is great. This video directed by Dani Castro and shot in 1 take at his home.

Laura Marling's album A Creature I Don't Know is not as lovely to its predecessor in accordance to our taste, however, that doesn't mean that it didn't quench our thirst. It could be better, but it's not bad like Ceremonials .
