It was really unexpected of Diamond Nights to concoct a beautiful combination of the acoustic and ambient genres, but when they did, boy, it was magic.
The Melbourne-based band are bringing grit to their second EP release, Irrational Fears, a superbly raw affair released just this year.
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.
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.
We know that’s already a given, but a sampler might add to your assurance of having an incredible album from Nuela Charles.
The Canadian crooner released her full-length feature, Aware, last October 2012, to digital retailers, but still left a little gift for those who aren’t keen on buying yet: a 4-track taste test of the album featuring good chosen cuts.
One of the most celebrated romances of the yesteryears, Cyrano de Bergerac, deserves another re-read.
Written in 1897 by French dramatist Edmond Rostand, this story of mistaken love and identity-switching still has us at the edge of our seats as it did more than a century back.
