• Our old-time favorite singer/songwriter Joe Pug from Greenbelt, Maryland released his new album Windfall on March 10th. As always it’s a treat around the corner.
The folky troubadour recorded this bunch of songs in Lexington, Kentucky; and from the sound of first tune out – If Still It Can’t Be Found – the man struck gold.
• The danish wonder of Broken Twin came upon us last year; loaded like a freight train, flyin’ like an aeroplane, feelin’ like a space brain, one more time tonight.
Now her beautiful presence will return to Sweden for three gigs. Don’t miss her April 24 in Gothenburg, April 25 i Stockholm and April 26 in Malmö.
Til then, the everlasting song No Darkness.
• Stockholmband Trail Of Feathers released their Love and Theft EP a week ago. The band got heroes as Portishead, Feist, Albert King and Shuggie Otis. We hear a guitar sound that clings to your soul, a molotov cocktail between the lines, a dark fairy tale you dig without remorse.
Check out title song Love and Theft, and have a good one.
• Our longtime favorites in the southern rock chapter Blackberry Smoke keep on releasing LPs and keep on being on top of their game. It’s friday night music with money in your pocket, heading out mischieving. Long haired, long bearded, long gone.
The band from Atlanta, Georgia got new record Holding All The Roses out, check out song Rock And Roll Again.
• You dig ambient slackerness as Kurt Vile or Mac DeMarco? Well you should. Here’s something for your veins, WT and the album Discrete People.
WT wrote their new album, released January 30th, after exploring America, from New York, to Maine, to California, to Nashville, where it was finally recorded. Check out great song Don´t Hang Your Love On Me.
• The Swedish blues rocking bad boys of Siena Roots got us hooked from the first riff and the second raff. It’s a Deep Purple kind of colour.
Check out their third single Root Rock Pioneers from their 2014-album Pioneers, their fifth studio album to date – filled with genuine, brilliant and hard earned songwriting.
• London-quartet Dry the River got a new song out, the emotional thunderstorm of Rollerskate.
In their own word this is ”folky inspired gospel music performed by a post punk band”. We say dig!
See this shit live? Try March 31 Pustervik Gothenburg, April 1 Debaser Strand Stockholm or April 2 Babel Malmö.
• From the southern part of Sweden we introduce Anna Jadeus & the Miracle Orchestra and their brand new song Army Révolutionnaire. A hooky folky vibe we double dare you to resist, a feet stomping zealous ride.
It’s unsigned, homemade and a fresh breath of mountain air. It’s Regina Spektor drinking Scotch on the rocks with The Head And The Heart on the banks of Öresund. Give it a swing!
• Danish Americana is upon our table. Check out the amazing Workers In Songs and their beautiful, heartbreaking, wicked song Sorry Marie. Singer Morten Krogh sure takes us for an intense danamerican ride.
The bands second studio album That Glorious Masterpiece is pumped with great music. It’s a reflection of mistakes, dreams and love yet realizing that sometimes something beautiful has to die before you can move on.
