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.
We’ve been on a slew of indie releases these past few weeks, and it just feels like we need a breather. But before that (hiatus), let us rave on how great William Hawkins‘ release is.
Not much is known about him, since all Google returns is a myriad of unrelated searches, spanning personalities with the same name from the 70s to the present — none of which are helpful on pointing who’s the real one.
Jason Cohn’s music is a cherry on top of a delectable and thirst-quenching ice cream. Closed Doors, which was released last July 2013 is mainly composed of acoustic folk songs written by the singer himself.
The songwriting of Cohn emanates his love and passion for creating good music to inspire the people who are listening to them.
Intoxicating beats and sultry rhythms that will tingle your body from head to toe is brought by David Block’s principal project named The Human Experience. This talented artist who has shared the stage with Thievery Corporation, Bonobo, Tipper, Random Rab, Emancipator, Bluetech, Kalya Scintilla, and Kaminanda, is an exceptionally brilliant multi-instrumentalist and producer.
Bored of the usual pumpkins and cadaver costumes? Jeremy Messersmith‘s music is here to spice up your Halloween celebrations!
Okay, so we’re probably taking the title of his 2010 album (The Reluctant Graveyard) too literally, but its songs really do imbibe the graveyard theme — we kid you not — that’s enough to get you through the occasion.
If you’ve had quite a day and just want to be taken adrift to some ‘far-away’ place, you better start listening to the Epilogues!
This York-based (English) duo composed of Mikey Donnelly and Joey Donnelly continue on their mission to deliver their own brand of folk to the masses, after starting off last year.
Recorded and mixed by Tyler Thompson at the Woodshed Studio in Enterprise, It Won’t Be Long is a clever EP that provides breathing room between the instruments; the band’s subtle playing delivers an unassertive jam.
