Dinosaur Feathers are a band from Brooklyn that makes experimental pop music. They released their first album, Fantasy Memorial, in 2009. (Horse Feathers is also a band, not from Brooklyn, who make folk music and realeased their first album in 2009. They are not the same band. Believe me, I looked into it.) Dinosaur Feathers are getting ready to release Whistle Tips, their new album out on Ernest Jenning on April 10th. A preview of the album comes in the form of "Untrue", the first tr...

keine ahnung, wer sich als werbefritze für die altcountry, americana band bare bones aus denver verdingt. jedenfalls machte er mich misstrauisch. diese retroisierten bilder, der style zwingen mich zum weiterklicken. einzig die gelegenheit, gleich auf der hauptseite ihres webauftritts musik anhören zu können, ließ mich innehalten und nun auch diese notiz schreiben. denn was dem durchaus sympathischen fünfer da gelingt, ist aller ehren wert. die kombination von folkloristischen elementen mit dem auf volle entspannung gepolten angang und einigen sehnigen ausläufern gefällt mir sehr gut. kopf der mannschaft ist ein gewisser blake brown, der eine ganze weile in solo durch die ...

This week for MiaoMix Monday I put together a playlist made up of folk songs. This mix consists of contemporary folk music like fuzz folk or folk rock. I'm not the biggest expert on folk music, but it makes me feel a lot more calm when I listen to it and these are some of my personal favorites. Some of you will probably recognize some of the artists here, such as Neutral Milk Hotel or The Tallest Man on Earth , but hopefully some of you will find your new favorite band.

Sean Flinn and The Royal We @ Bunk Bar | 09/07 | 11:00 PM | MFNW Wristband or $10 door To garner significant attention for a folk band in Portland is unnecessarily difficult because numerous musical acts such as Horse Feathers, The Builders and The Butchers, Blitzen Trapper, and The Decembrists have brought folk pop [...]

The Devil Whale Teeth Self-Released [2011] Fire Note Says: The Devil Whale provide good old fashioned indie rock. Album Review: Salt Lake City holds a bit of an indie secret that is slowly getting out, which is the band The Devil Whale. The now 5 piece has recently released their sophomore album Teeth and it is a smooth indie record that is full of vivid melodies, though t stirring lyrics and plenty of memorable hooks to keep you coming back for more. The band plays their most rock moments with a nostalgic 60's and 70's approach, as they ...

De Ketelmuziek-mailbox stroomt zo langzaam aan vol. Artiesten, promotie-mensen en organisatoren van concerten willen graag onze aandacht. En wat zit er veel rotzooi tussen al die mail. Dat gaat van een mail over ‘post-rock virtuosos’ Empty Space Orchestra, hip-hoppers met een gouden toekomst voor zich tot een nieuwe song van Grace Jones met de weinig belovende titel Well Well Well Dub’. Gelukkig komt er ook wel ‘ns iets interessants langs in de mailbox. Zoals Colossal Gospel , twee jongens uit Alabama. Natuurlijk is er veel aan te merken op Circles , hun eerste release. De songs zijn iets te simpel opgebouwd, bepaalde ...

zu einem wie peter broderick braucht man nicht sehr viel schreiben. er sollte in den hiesigen kreisen bekannt sein. was aber häufiger nicht bekannt ist, ist seine umtriebigkeit. über norfolk & western lässt sich seine discography über zuarbeiten für nick jaina und laura gibson über horse feathers verfolgen bis hin zu seinen soloalben "float" und "home" zum beispiel. auch in 2011 stand der amerikaner nicht still. tabellarisch liest sich das in etwa so: canon blue – rumspringa | 2011 | temporary residence ltd v/a – moss | 2011 | cote labo a winged victory for the sullen – s/t | 2011 | kranky / erased tapes v/a – 31songs ...

die nachricht vom tod des musikers leonard mynx war ein schock. heute morgen ereilte mich die kunde, dass der portlander seit wenigen monaten nicht mehr unter uns weilt. welche tragik diesem abschied beiwohnt, kann ich nur erahnen. leonard war bei weitem nicht alt genug, um diese welt zu verlassen. das schöne an unseren begegnungen war seine neugier, sein entgegenkommen. in allem, was unseren austausch betraf. zu seinem ersten album "vesper" schrieb ich unter anderem : irgendwie ist es den beiden [ + adam selzer, anm. die red. ] inklusive diverser mitmusiker gelungen, einen flachen, aber überaus farbigen klangteppich zu klöppeln, auf dem sich mynx ...

Throughout Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan 's journey of musical discovery, each of his three albums have taken a different form as if he is getting a backlog of styles out of his system. This can certainly be said of his Dylan-esque second release The Shadow Of An Empire which split fans; most expecting more of Regan's finger-picked acoustic roots and instead received experimental, twangy, electric folk. Expecting a continuation of this new found upbeat style, his third release 100 Acres Of Sycamore is actually more reminiscent of the debut - stripped back acoustic but not the same finger-pick-as-fast-as-is-humanly-possible style of ...
