The Weave and the Weft - Broken by Breakers

The Weave and the Weft
Broken by Breakers

Fragil home recordings from Copenhagen. If backwards sounds add some psychedelic component, then I would call it psychedelic bedroom folk*. But that goes only for track one and it's not the strongest on this EP. But the other songs are pretty nic …
James Irwin - Western Transport

James Irwin
Western Transport

Beautiful folk music by James Irwin from Canada. It's flawless and well crafted in style and atmosphere. No repetition, just slow development from song to song. And this slowness results in a beautiful album, just right for lazy summer nights. …

Maybe I play for you, but probably not...

Zachary Cale, Mighty Moon & Ethan Schmid
NATCH 5

In April, this year, Mr. Cale was invited in the Black Dirt Studio to record a session with Dream Pop Duo Mighty Moon and his pal Ethan Schmid (drummer of his band). The result is very mixed and at the same time exciting. Love in Vain and Me …
Fishboy - Classic Creeps

Fishboy
Classic Creeps

2011 # indie pop
This album was released a year ago, but it's never too late to post such a gem. Fishboy are from Denton, TX and are really fun - like reading a comic. And this is no surprice, because Fishboy's Classic Creeps exist as comic. The album tel …
Mornings - Lioness [Single]

Mornings
Lioness [Single]

A short, but enjoyable release by Mornings from Australia. The vocals reminds me on early "I love you but I've choosen darkness" - maybe a bit weaker - but not uncharming. The music has some Math-Rock influences but without over co …
The Walkmen - The Love You Love (3 May 2012, Brooklyn, NY)

The Walkmen
The Love You Love (3 May 2012, Brooklyn, NY)

I didn't really follow The Walkmen, but I know they have an interesting approach to make music (just on prehistoric vintage instruments) and there are titles I always keep in mind like Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone. And these days, th …
Hot Babes - Hot Babes Cool Surf

Hot Babes
Hot Babes Cool Surf

2012 # lofi, surf, garage pop
Does anyone remember Wavves? Me neither! With and after them came so much bands that sound similar boring or just better, so Wavves (or better Nathan) stumbled over their bong and stay laying down. Hot Babes are not really compareable to Wavves, …
Zach Cale & The Rain Band - Live on WNUR

Zach Cale & The Rain Band
Live on WNUR

A year ago Zachary Cale started to promote his album Noise of Welcome with touring and playing on several radiostations like WFMU. Recently, he put a recording from a WNUR session on his bandcamp page and it's definitely worth a listen. It's …
