Acoustic

(Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Dashboard Confession)

Nick Stutsman: Home Now

Some people prefer to have the vocal stylings of a pop-punk tune and the vibe of an acoustic composition; that’s what Nick Stutsman is made of. Not much is known about Nick (or his full name Nicholas), other than his Bandcamp account, which is littered with various EPs he crafted throughout 2011.

Rowan Lewis: Soundiseverything

Soundiseverything by Rowan Lewis was released last May 2013. Featuring a six-track collection, the 16-year old singer from UK wishes to express herself by creating beautiful music. Subtle melodies is created by the smooth voice and soft music of this EP.

Indian Hill

Indian Hill churns some good acoustic rock blues in their new self-titled release. Formed in the early 2000, Indian Hill is Kenneth Lee Ray and Novica Bozunovich. This album is a collection of some of the songs that the two composed whenever there’s a guitar around.

Chapter: Four (White Heron Blues)

Folk music is definitely a treat, especially when it’s performed right, thanks to the band Chapter. A two-piece act consisting of British frontman Alexander Craker and his Belgian sidekick Thierry van Osselt, the two uphold their folk inclinations once again in their fourth offering, aptly titled Four or White Heron Blues.

Richard Jacobs: Blistering Winds EP

Released only on July 2013, Richard Jacob’s first EP entitled Blistering Winds captures our hearts through his moving lyrics and charming voice. This splendid singer-songwriter from UK delivers us five songs that cements his role as a dreamer, a singer, and poet who can remain true to himself and reveal new things at the same time.

Joel Dunn-Wilson: Superman

Are you craving for some good ole acoustic tunes? You’re in luck! Joel Dunn-Wilson is getting his musical gear into place with his new (and probably, the first) EP, Superman. In this four-track collection, the tunes are all guitar and no filler, just the way we like our iPod fodder.

Thee Acquainted: Caffeine Kiss

Romance is in the air in Thee Acquainted‘s latest EP Caffeine Kiss. With four delicately-picked tracks, long-distance couple Arielle Ackford and Jacob Brown let’s us inhale the rich, musky aroma of romance. Having been together for about three years, Arielle and Jacob are both musicians who create music inspired by challengers of their “star crossed” love story and the pursuit of their dreams.

Kira Velella: Daughter

Bask your soul in summer breeze and rain showers with Kira Velella‘s debut EP Daughter. Packed with six tracks, this sampler plate gives us a sneak peak to the New York-based singer/songwriter’s raw craftsmanship.

Glad Town Ghosts: Northwards Over Your Home (Single)

Technically, this entry from newcomer Glad Town Ghosts is not an EP but a single (with the traditional B-sides included), but it’s really amazing that we’re compelled to include it anyway. Recently signed with Massive Skull Records, the band is the brain fart of Dale Husband, with “occasional company” thrown in, as he says on his page. Regardless who he’s with, we absolutely think that his first release Northwards Over Your Home is a fantastic one.
