A pint of Honeymilk

Jonas

honeymilk

Swedish Honeymilk got the sound. You know, the sound. Something you cannot chase down, something you cannot buy. You got it or you don´t.

Just smell the guitar solo 3:10 into the vid down below. You will get the drift. It is a thing of beauty, a walk in the desert, a night of black hole suns.

In April Honeymilk will launch an campaign in the US together with Brooklyn-based Never Better (Of Montreal, Mogwai, Pixies, Band of Horses) and also tour the UK. April 19 they gig Pet Sounds Bar, Stockholm. Check out new single Red Paper Buildings!

Memory Lane

This month of March, Merge Records decided tog make a 20th anniversary reissue of Bloomed, the 1994 debut album from Richard Buckner. The album will include 11 bonus tracks of radio sessions and live performances. Golden stuff.

Richard Buckner, described as ”equal parts Bay Area bohemian and dust bowl traditionalist” is an alt-country wanderer with heartache in every tune. In a comment to the re-issue Mr Buckner says: ”Nothing’s changed. I’m still dodging the sky and busking to strangers.”

Check out the 1994-song Gauzy Dress In The Sun.

Hell yeah: Whiskey Myers

Jonas

WM

Whiskey Myers got their brand new album Early Morning Shakes out Feb 4. It´s a southern rock classic.

The album got sweet shades of Led Zeppelin, Blackberry Smoke, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Oak Arkansas, Allman Brothers Band and Black Crowes – and they cover a David Allen Coe-song.

This hard working outlaw-countryband is from Tyler, Texas and it´s their third full-lenght LP. I´m pretty sure the record will take them to the moon and back, it´s pretty amazingly awesome.

Here´s the single, Home.

You know that things will turn out great when you have THE Ray Lamontagne on one side, and THE Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) on the other, doing things together.

It has been six years since the last solo album (Gossip in The Grain 2008) and four years since the last album with The Pariah Dogs  (God Willin & The Creek Don’t Rise 2010).

This time Mr Lamontagne teamed up with legendary Dan Auerbach and the long awaited album will be out may 6 this year. The first single was released today. As alway, pure gold throughout… Listen for yourself.

Happy Valentine’s…

This Friday of love, passion and devotion we present Robert Stjernberg and his hypnotic new song Valentine. Dark, minimalistic, passive-aggressive. Very likable.

His debut album Tasers & Headshots, recorded in the classic Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg, hit the streets March 12.

Be sure to give it a go.

The Sisters of Baskery

Jonas

Baskery is a great killbilly, mud-country, Americanaband from Stockholm, Sweden. The three talented sisters Greta, Stella and Sunniva Bondesson makes us boogie all over the office this morning.

The band just released their third studio-LP Little Wild Life, recorded in an old dance studio in Berlin, Germany. They worked with Long Beach based producer Matt Wignall (Cold War Kids, J.Roddy) to create an album laced in analogue atmosphere, backed up by big room vibes and ruled by the Baskery-groove.

Check out the awesome tune The Nono.
