The self-released Full of the Light is a short assemblage that covers six melodic folk ballads with exceptionally low-key arrangements that boast of vocal layers, acoustic guitar, and a couple of overdubs. There’s a lot to digest in this album—Anna’s sweet vocals, guitar rhythms, and eloquent lines.
You haven’t really heard the “rawest” kind of acoustic music until you hear the Without Feathers.
Composed of Nat Johnson, Emma Kupa, and Rory McVicar, the trio just formed their band last March 2013, yet they bring a musicality that’s so amazingly polished. This is no mystery, since each of them already came from different seasoned bands.
Music genres aren't as definable as they used to. These days, things have gotten so experimental that, well, you can't really distinguish from another.
Movie and TV soundtracks are a true audiophile's friends, mostly because are a goldmine for good music and new acts to look out for.
This is precisely the path of Cary Brothers, author of multiple heart-wrenching anthems you might have heard on productions such as "Garden State"and "Easy A". If you want to know him better outside the silver screen, you'll have no regrets listening to his Noisetrade Sampler.
Backed by a three-piece band, Shannon Wardrop delivers fresh, punchy melodies in her latest EP Medicine.
The 20-year-old singer/songwriter from the outskirts of London takes her inspiration from The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Jefferson Aeroplane, and The Kinks. Released last June 2, 2013, Wardrop’s sounds enters a new dimension of alternative music with soft vocals and sharp arrangement.
There’s nothing special on this release from the Phony Ppl, except that it’s super duper special.
nothinG special is the second EP from the 8-piece Brooklyn group, composed of Elbee Thrie and Sheriff PJ for vocals, Elijah Rawk for lead guitar, Matt Byas for drums, Aja Grant for keyboards, Bari Bass for bass, Ian Bakerman for guitar, and Temi Okotieuro for saxophone — whew, that’s an awful lot!
Contrary to what this EP might connote, we urge you to get your players poppin’ for Allen Stone.
The 26-year-old Stone is inching his way to breaking out onto the mainstream scene, but we’d like to pat ourselves in the back for chronicling his rise this early.
Lightning-quick sledgehammer banjo stylings and flame-throwing guitar mayhem form the backdrop of Live Laugh Love. Me and the City is an indie folk group that started as a one man project and eventually grown into four members. Band influences range from The Decemberist, Young the Giant, Rolling Stones, Adele, Mumford & Sons, and Dave Matthews Band.
