URSULA POINTS - OCEANS


ARTIST / BAND: URSULA POINTS
SONG (MP3): OCEANS
ALBUM: Light up a Galaxy
FILE UNDER: Ambient / Psychedelic / Rock
LABEL: http://www.myspace.com/psychichitsrecords

INFO: The founding members of the group, Kevin McGinnis and Lindsay Marcus, had met in 2002 only to become estranged and find each other again three years later. This set the stage for the cycle of odd coincidences and unforeseen circumstances that surround the band to this day. After spending months testing out song ideas and sonic directions, gigging sporadically, and trying out dozens of musicians, Kevin and Lindsay took matters into their own hands as Light Up A Galaxy’s songs gradually began to allow themselves to be discovered. However it was only after the song “Softnoon” was written that the entire vision for the record crystallized in something of an epiphany - hence its placement as the album’s kickoff track. The rest of the songs had to be a satellite to this track.

"Reason To Live" became the first collabortion between Pink & Noseworthy, and the instant creative bond propelled a two-month whirlwind of songwriting, jamming and recording that culminated in their eponymous debut album.

J. DIMENNA - RAGGEDY ANN


ARTIST / BAND:
SONG (MP3):
ALBUM: Awkward Buildings
FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock / Acoustic
LABEL: www.exoticrecordings.com

INFO: DiMenna is an artist who specializes in torture. The pain of waiting for someone to choose the correct word to express himself. The moment of realizing that something so wrong has been allowed to continue unchallenged right under your nose. The dead silence before tears are swallowed back. It's these quiet brutal moments that are painted throughout his debut album, Awkward Buildings. As a songwriter, J inhabits many characters and emotions, speaks in metaphors, and uses string sections like his Italian hand gestures. His debut album, "Awkward Buildings", is , at the same time, a pointed rant against religious establishment and something to listen to on a long drive. J is currently living and performing in Brooklyn, after moving from Asheville, NC, his home of the past ten years. Fans say "beautiful songs, but with enough ugly to keep them interesting."

SEA WOLF - YOU'RE A WOLF


ARTIST / BAND: SEA WOLF
SONG (MP3): YOU'RE A WOLF
ALBUM: Get To The River Before It Runs Too Low
FILE UNDER: Indie
LABEL: Dangerbird Records

INFO: Sea Wolf is the vehicle for Alex Church’s songs – who is not only Sea Wolf’s songwriter and singer but also the band’s only invariable member. Born in the small gold rush town of Columbia, California, Church’s musical memories were shaped by ad hoc bluegrass outfits playing for tourists on sidewalks of his hometown coupled with the Beatles and Willie Nelson records on his mom’s turntable. Church wandered from California twice – once as a boy, when he and his mother spent a year living in a tent in the French countryside, and once for college at NYU's film school He wrote his first song the week he graduated from college and returned to California, where he later became the founding bass player of Los Angeles outfit Irving “Even though I’ve always returned here, I don’t feel like the music has much of a connection to one particular place,” Church explains. “In a way, it’s not rooted in any place.” That sound Church sought and achieved is a combination of delicate, arching melodies and foggy, elegiac narratives. Over the spare instrumentation, his voice can be weary or buoyant, but it’s always capable of leaving an indelible impression.

LIMBECK - BIG DRAG


ARTIST / BAND: LIMBECK
SONG (MP3): BIG DRAG
ALBUM: LIMBECK
FILE UNDER Pop / Americana / Rock:
LABEL: www.doghouserecords.com
INFO: Being in a band used to be different. It wasn’t all about getting the best support slots, collecting the most friends on MySpace or dressing a certain way in order to sell records. It was about crafting music that celebrated your influences, seeing the country unfold via bug-splattered van windows and meeting people and sharing experiences that wouldn’t only help spike sales in certain markets, but would also help define you as a human being.

PIECE OF PEACE - PASS IT ON PART 1 (1970)


ARTIST / BAND: PIECE OF PEACE
SONG (MP3): PASS IT ON PART 1 (1970)
ALBUM: Eccentric Soul: Twinight's Lunar Rotation (Disc 1)
FILE UNDER: Soul / Funk
LABEL: Twinight Records
INFO: Chicago's Twinight label is today best known-- okay, only known-- for Syl Johnson, the soul singer behind "Come On Sock It to Me" and, later, "Is It Because I'm Black?" During the label's brief life (1967-72), he was the only artist to chart a single. In fact, he charted many. However, according to Twinight Lunar Rotation, the latest entry in the Numero Group's fascinating Eccentric Soul series, Johnson's labelmates' lack of success does not reflect on their talents, just as the obscurity of their music in no way mirrors its quality.

ALIF TREE - BELLE


ARTIST / BAND: ALIF TREE
SONG (MP3): BELLE
ALBUM: French Cuisine
FILE UNDER: downtempo electronica
LABEL: Compost Records

INFO: Even without contributions from jazz vocal greats Nina Simone and Shirley Horn, Alif Tree's third full-length album "French Cuisine" is an instant down tempo jazz classic. From its solemn opening track "Deadly Species" featuring Nina Simone, to the sheer French beauty of "Belle" featuring Anna Karina, the mind-blowing double bass groove of "Forgotten Places" featuring Shirley Horn, or the melancholy Latin melodies of "L'Amor Nunca Meura", Alif Tree present an utterly exceptional album.As a musician (guitar, voice, keyboards, percussion), Alif is a fervent defender of acoustic sounds, from philharmonic music to Pop via Jazz and World Music.

LABEL: www.team-love.com

INFO: The franco-american duo The BERG SANS NIPPLE consists of (but is not limited to) Lori Sean Berg and Shane Aspegren. The former is a suave Frenchman from the dirty rues of gay Parieee and the latter is a lanky Scandinavian-looking fellow who actually hails from the dusty plains of Nebraska. Once rumored to have been Siamese twins separated at birth (according to them, their relationship is really much closer to that of Ghost Dog and the ice cream vendor), the reality is only more mundane at first glance: two kids (both best known as drummers) trapped in a tangled mess of cables, keyboards, samplers, horns, bells, machines and drums.

SPIRIT CATCHER - SWEET DEAL


ARTIST / BAND: SPIRIT CATCHER
SONG (MP3): SWEET DEAL
ALBUM: Night Vision
FILE UNDER: Disco House / Electro / House
LABEL: www.myspace.com/2020visionrecordings

INFO: THE REAL STORY!!! History has spawned hundreds of genius double acts where two minds and talents collide to form something innovative and artistically challenging. Unfortunately, Spirit Catcher are just a pair of european weirdos. As we all know, exciting and romantic collisions happen in, say, Hollywood or London. Not in Belgium. I mean, does Belgium have C.H.I.P.s? Or Hart to Hart? It doesnt. It has bugger all. No heroes, no drama, no action. Chocolates.beer.and Spirit Catcher. Now listen - Jean Vanesse and Thomas Sohet have been exposed to music for as long as they have been conscious. Jean was even born in a recording studio. His father owned a studio, and absolutely insisted on capturing a high quality recording of the birth. However, initial feedback problems due to the unexpectedly high pitch of Jeans first baby screams meant that Jean had to climb back in for a second and third take, so his father could take care of the rogue frequency.

APPARAT - ARCADIA


ARTIST / BAND: APPARAT
SONG (MP3): ARCADIA
ALBUM: Walls
FILE UNDER: Electronica / Indie / Experimental
LABEL: www.shitkatapult.com

INFO: This apparat is one with flexible functions, and its sound is as eclectic as its musical horizon is broad. Its emotional chip features an option on happiness and its sound waves are able to tear your heart apart. While sensitively orchestrating his chamber musical qualities on his records or in his studio, his live performances are known for kicking some ass! He can also proudly refer to a John-Peel-Session and is sporadically working with Gianna Nannini on a Rock Opera.
Sascha Ring, aka Apparat, regards his moving out of the east German provincial backwater to Berlin in 1997 as one of his best decisions ever made. Since 1999 he runs, together with T.Raumschmiere, the Berlin based record label "Shitkatapult" - a venturous music catapult that dashes a wild mixture of intentional great music onto the turntables of the world. Apparat is the bridge over the German gap of melancholic glitch between Manchester and Laptop-USA.

Then came the Hip Hop and Electro madness with jaunts to Uxbridge tube station with the crew to do the Electric Boogaloo to earn money for linoleum, fat laces, Sergio Tacchini tracksuits with Pierre Cardin rollnecks (yes, those were the vogue those days!) and, most important of all, records.

A talented songwriter and a ballsy performer in the truest sense of the word, Post-Millennial-Chameleon Diva - Ms. Louise, is also in charge of the kinky TP visual - on stage and off.

APOSTLE OF HUSTLE


ARTIST / BAND: APOSTLE OF HUSTLE
SONG (MP3): CHEAP LIKE SEBASTIAN!
ALBUM: National Anthem of Nowhere
FILE UNDER: Indie / Tropical / Folk Rock
LABEL: http://www.arts-crafts.ca/
INFO: The band is more or less the brainchild of Andrew Whiteman, who has been in such groups as Bourbon Tabernacle Choir and Que Vida. He released a solo effort titled Fear of Zen in 1995. He is also the lead guitarist for the indie supergroup Broken Social Scene of Toronto. Whiteman returned to his native Toronto to resume writing and recording with Broken Social Scene after a two-month stay with his godmother's family in Cuba. He learned to play the tres, a Cuban guitar, during that time. But in the midst of making the Juno Award-winning You Forgot It in People, Whiteman couldn't escape the Spanish musical flavors of his time spent in El Barrio Santo Suarez.
In order to make his fascination come to life, two of his fellow bandmates, Julian Brown and Daniel Stone, joined Whiteman for what would become the cinematic, Latin-tinged portrait of Apostle of Hustle. Folkloric Feel was released on Arts & Crafts in late summer 2004. The follow-up to Folkloric Feel is National Anthem of Nowhere, released in Canada on February 6, 2007.

INFO: Bracken is a musical project spinning in a loose and ill-defined orbit around founder member Chris Adams. In another life, Chris, along with his brother Richard are known as co-captains of the good ship Hood. In this latest incarnation we see a side-step/stumble into a puzzling soundworld of future pop, analogue tape trickery, avant drone, loose dub flourishes, hip hop pacing and clattering drums. Anticon are proud to welcome Bracken to the fold.Chris' formative years came with all the right accoutrements of youth: small town boredom, a four track, a walkman, and long, aimless walks in the countryside. read more from the source...

IAN LOVE


ARTIST / BAND: IAN LOVE
SONG (MP3): THE ONLY NIGHT
ALBUM:
FILE UNDER: Indie / Acoustic / Other
LABEL: Limekiln Records
INFO:Ian Love was born and raised in New York City, where he got his first guitar at the age of 11. By his early teens, he was playing in a punk/hardcore band called Burn while attending the prestigious High School of Performing Arts. After a little over a year there, he quit school to go on tour, ending his formal education. From the ages of 17 to 23, he was addicted to heroin, which dominated his life although he also played in bands, notably handling bass guitar for the noise-rock group Die 116. At 23, he went into rehab and kicked his habit. He began handling live sound for the club Brownies in New York and resumed his career as a musician, eventually joining the band Rival Schools, which toured internationally and released an album, United by Fate, on Island Records in 2001. In between tours, he formed Cardia, which became his main focus and with which he recorded a self-titled album released on Silverthree Records in 2003. He also began working as an engineer for other recording artists. Eventually, he began writing songs that didn't fit into any of his band projects, which hatched the idea for a solo album. Playing most of the instruments himself, he recorded Ian Love, released by the Philadelphia-based independent label Limekiln Records in February 2006. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

OX


ARTIST / BAND: OX
SONG (MP3): CAROLINAH
ALBUM: Dust Bowl Revival
FILE UNDER: Indie / Alternative / Folk
LABEL: www.weewerk.com
INFO: As soon as we hear Mark Browning’s drawling vocals creak on the opening song “Miss Idaho” we instantly know that Ox has delivered an album of stature. Dope-soaked, derelict and wired, “American Lo Fi” features 11 songs that give a nod to Velvet Underground meets Bruce Springsteen, trading New Jersey urban fairground for Pacific interstate moonscape. Ox's long awaited follow up to the seminal alt-country, indie hybrid classic, 'Dust Bowl Revival', fuses weary with vicious, punk with hillbilly, the farmer in the city with the electro-magnetic aura of tape hiss and amp crackle. ”American Lo Fi” was recorded in the manic confines of Vancouver's Profile Studios (aka Upstairs Sound Laboratory) amid the plume of smoke, sweat and heavy Pacific laced air. Ox began in Vancouver amid sessions for a Mark Browning solo record titled, 'Harvester'. The record went wrong... crossed between Neil Young's Reactor and a Journey record... and was scrapped. read more from the source...

THE GO FIND


ARTIST / BAND: THE GO FIND
SONG (MP3): DICTIONARY
ALBUM: Miami
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Electronica
LABEL: Morr Music.
INFO: It's altogether too easy to release an album these days. Grab your iBook, spend an afternoon looping tracks, and there you go, right? Sure -- unless we're talking about putting out an album that people will actually buy. That'll require a bit more work.
Miami is much more than an afternoon of work, but can't shed that fatal "laptop project" odor. The laptop loner badge might not be so damning if The Go Find, which is really the undertaking of a guy named Dieter Sermeus, didn't just miss the mark in crafting memorable and interesting music. "Summer Guest", for example, is a keyboard-heavy anthem along the lines of Gary Numan's "Cars" -- it could stick in your head for decades, but it just... doesn't. Somehow, even after several listens, the hook remains elusive (although the near-pornographic whispered/sung refrain, "Oh, all that I want is to make you cum", would do well to be a lot easier to forget.). And the fatal part? "Summer Guest" is Miami's best song.
The rest of Miami isn't disagreeable; it's like a cocktail party where no one is talking and everyone wants to be somewhere else, but where the hors d'oeuvres are marvelous. Too many times, just as a song reaches the point of being truly interesting, it fades -- it backs down when it should kick off. "City Dreamer" and "What I Want", for example, are electronic lullabies whose steady metronome beats could certainly lull listeners to sleep. The lyrics don't exactly set the gray matter afire, either: we hear "Hey, I'm watching the city tonight, hold on", in "City Dreamer", at least five times too many, and the problem persists throughout the disc. As for the danceable songs, such as "Bleeding Heart", well... they might get you bobbing your head, but probably not shaking your booty. It's a shame that Miami can't rise above its digital roots and embrace the groove it occasionally toys with.

LOVEDRUG


ARTIST / BAND: LOVEDRUG
SONG (MP3): PUSHING THE SHINE
ALBUM: Everything Starts Where it Ends
FILE UNDER: Rock / Indie
LABEL: The Militia Group

INFO:
Like many great bands, there is something hauntingly spiritual and honest about Lovedrug. The Ohio-based rock band delivers a highbrow sound akin to Spiritualized, Sunny Day Real Estate, or Muse, crossed with the arena grandeur of Queen. A unique crossbreed of art and accessibility, powerful melodies are driven by smartly crafted lyrics of truth, intrigue, love, spite, death and damn near everything in between. Only those who have seen the band live can truly understand the growing phenomenon that is Lovedrug. Regardless of how clich? it may sound, Lovedrug live is truly less a show and more an experience. In playing to a variety of audiences (the band has shared the stage w/ The Killers, Robert Plant, Switchfoot, Sam Phillips, Creeper Lagoon, Eisley, Something Corporate, and Matchbook Romance, to name a few), Lovedrug have won over virtually every audience they?ve met.

THE COMAS


ARTIST / BAND: THE COMAS
SONG (MP3): RED MICROPHONES
ALBUM: Spells
FILE UNDER: Rock / Indie / Psychedelic
LABEL: Vagrant Records
INFO: Maybe it was the citrus-flavored liqueur or the enchanted trees of the Catskills. Maybe it was the bald eagle, or the snow. Maybe it was falling in and out of love and coming out of it alive, or maybe it was just that old mansion.
Regardless, Spells has a pulse.

JOSEPH AURTHUR & THE LONELY ASTRONAUTS


ARTIST / BAND: JOSEPH AURTHUR & THE LONELY ASTRONAUTS
SONG (MP3): DIAMOND RING
ALBUM: Let's Just Be
FILE UNDER: Rock
LABEL: Lonely Astronaut Records
INFO: “For me to be taken into something it has to be real or it’s just not going to interest me very much,” says the critically heralded Joseph Arthur, an emotionally resonant marvel whose been tapping into deep truths since his1997 debut. His 5th studio album, Nuclear Daydream is his strongest, most tunefully brilliant set to date. Released September 19 on Arthur’s own label Lonely Astronaut Records, his latest is a dozen fully formed gems destined to be the soundtrack for late summer dreamers. From the humid, sauntering funk of “Automatic Situation” to aching lost highway ruminations like “You Are Free,” Nuclear Daydream moves through a full spectrum of moods, distilling human experience into something we can hum on our own pathways. "Too Much to Hide" and "Enough to Get Away" are epic, radio friendly pop masterpieces.
Our Shadows Will Remain, released in 2004, was named one of the top albums of 2004 by Entertainment Weekly, New York Post, Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times and many more. REM’s Michael Stipe and Coldplay’s Chris Martin have covered his songs and both have also invited him out on the road to support their bands domestically and internationally. He was the first American artist signed to Peter Gabriel’s Real World label and he was recently named in the top 100 living Songwriters by Paste Magazine. His first four albums were some of the best reviewed in the last ten years. Joseph's fiercely loyal fan base, built through 10 years of touring and 4 album releases, expectantly awaits the arrival of Nuclear Daydream.
Joseph Arthur will begin a full U.S./Canadian tour in support of Nuclear Daydream on September 25th in Philadelphia. The tour is expected to hit over 28 cities and run till mid-November. In addition to touring, Joseph will also be making appearances on late night television which have not been scheduled yet. The album will be serviced to AAA, specialty radio and College Stations in August.

SONG (MP3): TALK TO ME
ALBUM: Talk to Me
FILE UNDER: Rock / Powerpop / Psychedelic
INFO: The band has clearly hit the ground running. Formed just a blink ago in Spring 2006, MINK has already written more than 60 songs (30 of them in one intense three-week stretch), recorded its debut album in just four weeks (with noted producer Sylvia Massy of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool fame), shot one of the most fun videos of recent times for its infectious song "Talk to Me" with director Christian Lamb (Madonna, Korn, Kelly Clarkson, Incubus Madonna), had another song "Pressure Pressure" featured nightly in ESPN's 2006 Major League baseball playoffs coverage and has established itself as one of the most exciting new live acts on the scene both in its own club shows and opening big-venue concerts by Angels & Airwaves among others. And all that while going back and forth between New York (from where Carlson hails) and Australia (home to drummer Mozgawa, lead guitarist Nick Maybury, rhythm guitarist David Lowy and bassist Grant Fitzpatrick).

OLA PODRIDA


ARTIST / BAND: OLA PODRIDA
SONG (MP3): CINDY
ALBUM: Ola Podrida
FILE UNDER: Indie / Folk
LABEL: Grand Hotel van Cleef

INFO: Ola Podrida began as a home-recording project for film composer David Wingo (GEORGE WASHINGTON, ALL THE REAL GIRLS, THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE), who began writing and recording a batch of songs soon after moving back to Austin from New York at the beginning of 2005. Upon completion of the recordings, he started performing the songs live with old friends Robert Patton and Matthew Frank, both of whom moved back to Brooklyn with Wingo in the fall of 2006, where they are now also playing with two other old Texas friends, Andrew Kenny (AMERICAN ANALOG SET) and Johnny Christ. Ola Podrida's self-titled debut album is being released by the label Plug Research in the spring of 2007..................."David Wingo's songs at first seem modest and merely warm - lullabyes, irons & wines. But what I've found is that the songs are hot. Behind all that lull is organ churn, guitar resound, sharp want and skin-on-skin... read more from the source...

RICHARD REAGH FEAT. EL PERRO DEL MAR


RICHARD REAGH FEAT. EL PERRO DEL MAR
SONG (MP3): HANGIN' ON A LIMB
ALBUM: "Is This The Blues I'm Singing?"
FILE UNDER: Electronica / Pop / R&B
INFO: Canadian-born Swedish resident Richard Reagh’s music divides itself into two layers: at the bottom you’ll find a balanced blend of crackles, tinkles, squeaks, techno drums and trumpets with the vocals floating around over top. His melancholy talking and singing sounds like a choirboy almost stuttering his words making the whole thing sound like the British sample-o-phonics, The Go! Team.
In the music, there’s embedded textual and sound references, like the line, “I live on the second floor” from Suzanne Vega’s “Luka”. Or “Ring my Bell” with Anita Ward’s voice mixed together with a piece from an American gangster movie; or something like that.
Sometimes chirping birds, sometimes Limahl; sometimes REM and falsetto singing with Montt Mardié. It’s perfect game for a boring party: who can find the most unexpected ingredients at this smorgasbord’s of sounds?

TOBIAS HELLKVIST


ARTIST / BAND: TOBIAS HELLKVIST
SONG (MP3): STEP ASIDE (EFTERKLANG COVER)
ALBUM: unreleased
FILE UNDER: Electronica / Ambient / Acoustic
LABEL: Unsigned
INFO: Tobias Hellkvist is a Swedish singer/songwriter/guitarist who came to me by way of Efterklang, whose sweetly melancholy “Step Aside” Hellkvist treats with great charity on his own cover. His winsome yet penetrating vocals might remind you of Iron & Wine, as will his gentle acoustic melodies. Likewise his instrumental tracks hang in the air like autumn leaves. Sorry, MySpace seems to have made it next to impossible (at least to my limited abilities) to directly link to their MP3s anymore, but after downloading “Step Aside,” head to Hellkvist’s MySpace page and give your day an extra dozen minutes of sublime reflection. the source...
