Thunderegg is a band/recording project led by Will Georgantas. The band released their latest album Line Line on September 13th, recorded by Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse) at Sound of Music studios in Richmond, Virginia.
This is wellaged, insightful stuff. Sweetening and perfect for a crisp autumn day, contemplating the dirtroads ahead over strong cups of coffee.
Check out the single Glass of Water.
Meet Jake and Jamin Orrall, two brothers from Nashville, Tennessee. They – definitely – got it going on.
Jeff the brotherhood is a duo, a rockband and a real deal. Kentuckyseven can´t get enough of this punk-rock-stoner-stuff.
They were a ”must-hear-act” at South By Southwest and yadayadayada. Give it a listen and you will get hooked. That´s a promise.
The album We are the Champions hits Europe on Stolen Recordings Sept 26. Check out the brotherhood in Stockholm Nov 17, Gothenburg Nov 18.
This is really a Fridaynightsong. Before mayhem, before devestation and before havoc. Well it pans out pretty nice on a Wednesday afternoon as well.
Brooklyn-rockband Team Genius made the song Ronald Reagan´s Cousin. They just released an awesome EP called Pop Songs, filled with vibrant stuff.
Team Genius is Drew Hermiller, Chad Hermiller, Scottie D, Erin Griffith, Emma Firth, Chris Hudik and Rebekah Allen. Check them out.

Bill Callahan sings like a guy in a story of Cormac McCarthy. This 45 year old from Silver Spring, Maryland, got a dramatic touch. He takes this lo-fi-intensive stuff to a very special place. Bill Callahan is a statesman for the times. It´s like Leonard Cohen on the prairie.
Callahan released his latest album Apocalypse earlier this year, the fourth soloalbum in his own name. A great album, but not your easy path, more lika a hard stone road. A barren kind of place. It demands your attention.
Nowadays he lives in Austin, Texas and will play live in ”Brilliant Corners of Popular Amusements” in Chicago this Friday Sept 16th. Later he hits Europe with a lovely stop in Gothenburg (cheers Woody West) Nov 17th.
The awesome LA band George Glass, has released a video. And they chose my favorite on the album. Welcome Home. Sweet stuff.
Check it out…
Wanna listen to the album in its entirety, go Spotify:
Sometimes you discover bands or songs that was released ages ago. And sometimes it is just a couple of years ago.
Listening to Strangeways Radio, with Simon Raymonde, opened my ears to a band, completely unknown to me. The Autumns.
The Autumns has released a number of albums, the last one in 2007. But the album that really did it for me (7 years after being released) is the self-titled album that was released on Bella Union in 2004.
The album did receive a whole bunch of great words.
”This is one glorious album from a band which can produce music that is unutterably beautiful but also hugely powerful.” — MOJO – 4 Stars **** ”An A&R man’s indie rock wet dream, replete with a lavish phalanx of guitars and singer Matt Kelly’s acrobatic falsetto… Impressive stuff.” — Q – 4 Stars **** ”Never soars at anything lower than 30,000 feet.” — NME – 8/10 ”This album has such majestic chutzpah that the epic gene in you will simply surrender.” — The Times of London – 4 Stars ****
There is one song in particular, that really stands out. The End. I see myself putting it on over and over again. But this is something else. Large, dramatic and full of energy and darkness. Listen to the track on Spotify. If you, like me, missed it back then.
I know I could be preaching to the choir, but for those who didn’t attend in church…
Swedish music keeps knocking on our Americanadoor and keeps being interesting, fresh and worth waiting for. This time we introduce ’Turn off your television’ – a wounderful three man band from Malmö with a bright shiny future.
TOYT got their own nerve, their own blackness, depth and sound. The self-titled debutrecord is filled with delicious rockmusic that grabs hold of your guts – never willing to let go. This album is higly addictive and all over our Kentuckysevenoffice.
Folky, alt-country-vibrante, great songs, strong vocals, Avettbro-style; deserving an audience. Check it out.
Leslie Feist, the Canadian whom we have grown to love during the years is releasing her fourth album, Metals.
The release is set to October 4th, on Universal / Polydor in europe.
Her last album, The Reminder, was one of 2007′ best albums, and still holds a massive place in our world of great music. When James Blake covered her Limit To Your Love, we picked up the album again. This is the real deal.
I am sure that Feist will let no one down with her new stuff. Just listen to this, and you will be as assured as I am.
