Daniel Martin Moore & Joan Shelley Farthest Field Ol Kentucky Recordings [2012] Fire Note Says: Moore & Shelley's folk collaboration is one excellent gentle ride through the field (and back)! Album Review: There is nothing better then when two artists join forces and create a work that truly shines based on the collaboration. Daniel Martin Moore of Sub Pop Records fame whistled on Shelley's debut and produced her second album. This led to her singing harmonies and playing banjo on Moore's tour and ultimately setting up the foundation for Farthest Field . The album finds the two Kentucky based artists ...

Daniel Martin Moore & Joan Shelley - Cedar & Ash

1.  Daniel Martin Moore & Joan Shelley - "Would You Tell Me Your Dreams" ( Farthest Field out now on Moore's own Ol Kentuck Recordings, is the new project from the two Kentucky-based singer-songwriters.  Inspired by nature and poetry, their acoustic-based folk music is gentle, dream-like and contemplative, combing the best elements of each artist for a beautiful modern album that could pass as a set of old standards.) http://www.olkentuck.com/artists/danielmartinmoore_joanshelley Download: http://soundcloud.com/olkentuck/would-you-tell-me-your-dreams 2.  Royal Headache - "Girls" (The Sydney-based band's slick pop sense with hints of soul and surf rock shines through the noisy garage-punk calamity on the first single from their promising self-titled debut out now on What's Your Rupture?.) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Royal-Headache/136799649689670 Download: http://pitchperfectpr.com/mp3/RoyalHeadache_Girls.mp3 3.  Here We Go Magic - "Make Up Your Mind" (You must be doing something right when legendary producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck) personally asks to produce your album.  And the Luke Temple-led band's new album A Different Ship , out now on Secretly Canadian, is on a different level; less dense yet still swirling with rhythms and their unique brand of gazy, psych-pop.  Listen to the excellent first single below.) www.herewegomagicband.tumblr.com/   Stream : http://soundcloud.com/secretlycanadian/here-we-go-magic-make-up-your/s-Dah0H

Last week, we were honored to bring you the first video in a new series called The Emery Sessions. The video featured Daniel Martin Moore and Joan Shelley and I had plenty of people tell me it gave them chills. Well, we are ready this week with the ...

Long have I dreamed of a music festival where you could stay on boats, where you could party on boats, where you could even LISTEN TO MUSIC ON BOATS. And little did I know that this amazing DREAM FESTIVAL exists in real life — in fact, has been existing, nay, flourishing , for 10 magical years in Louisville, Kentucky. Every year of my life that I haven’t been attending Forecastle Festival has been a wasted year. Friends, for those of you who, like me, have been living in darkness, here’s an overview. Forecastle is a three-day, five stage outdoor event ...

The Newport Folk, Forecastle, and Sled Island fests have announced (or added to) their lineups this week. Quick and dirty, allow us to lay out the basics you need to know about all three before you book a plane ticket: 2012 Newport Folk Festival When: July 28-29, 2012 Where: Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI Fun Fact: After last year's fest, the newly nonprofit Newport Festivals Foundation appointed an artist-comprised Advisory Board that included Gillian Welch, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Colin Meloy (the Decemberists), Jim James (My Morning Jacket), and Ben Knox Miller (the Low Anthem); the board helped organizers ...

Escuchando lo que más me gustó de 2011 me pregunto todo el rato  ¿dónde nos hemos dejado los estribillos?  Y, también, dónde vamos a encontrar los de 2012 ahora que  Lanadadora se ha ido . Igual es que vamos a tener que acostumbrarnos a vivir en la excepción continua, a no poder predecir cuándo viene el subidón ni saber cuándo se va a repetir lo que ya conocemos . Todos los años me pasa igual: en las listas de la gente en cuyo criterio confío encuentro un montón de referencias sugerentes y gracias a ellas dedico el mes de enero a descubrir ...

This time of year you will find a lot of music websites throwing together top 10 lists for songs, albums, artists, album art and pretty much anything else you can think of (don't worry mines coming soon). Sub Pop had been running a bunch of top 10 lists of their own from all its staff earlier this month and now it looks like they decided to finish it all off by offering 50 free downloads of their artists for the year 2011. With songs from Handsome Furs , Mister Heavenly , Blitzen Trapper , J Mascis , Foxes">Fleet Foxes , Daniel Martin Moore ...

Daniel Martin Moore started a record label earlier this year to releases some of his favorite records. I wouldn’t swear that the label is Kentucky-exclusive, but it is called Ol Kentuck and has put out albums from his collaborators around the Bluegrass. The latest is Daniel Joseph Dorff’s Living Room, a collection of standards, hymns [...]

Earlier in the year, Sub Pop artist Daniel Martin Moore released the beautiful In The Cool Of The Day , proving that this Kentuckian wasn't a one-hit wonder with 2008's Stray Age . As you'll gather from the video above, Moore isn't your typical singer-songwriter annoying you with his awful Dylan/Young covers on street corners. His music is delicate, yet powerful. A combination not many people get right. We caught up with Moore to talk about his influences, American culture, mountop removal and the recording process. We also got a special performance of a new track called ...
