Sometimes you just know… No need for explanations, no need for analysis… A great song, by a great band. In 2011 this song saw the light of day, and I just found out today.
The band Civil Wars, Joy Williams and John Paul White, two great singer songwriters just make great stuff, and have a great following. We love this shit.
Their material is enchanting in so many ways, listen…
’He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister’ was formed by brother/sister Rob/Rachel Kolar. They´ve become a great pack of folkwolves from Los Angeles, California.
The band makes our K7-world rotate a bit faster, more intense, happier. This is ’The Head and The Heart’, ’Mumford & Sons’, the handclapshit we adore.
A cabaret blues, desert pop kind of vibe. Very special to us. Check out great livesong ’Same Old Ground’.
Back in swedish Värmland, Luna Green found her way into music. Her imitating bird song evolved to the unique nineteen year old artist who boldly performed her own songs at New York music bars.
”Goblin’s Fruit”/”Green Eyes” is the first split single from Luna to be released by National Records/EMI Music Sweden and it was recorded with Niklas Frisk (Atomic Swing etc) and mixed by Håkan Sörle.
Every week ends up the same way, but some weeks end up better than others…
To kick of the weekend, please take a listen to the supergroup (members hailing from Sugarplum Fairys and Mando Diao) Viktor & The Blood’s – Kick’s Out On A Saturday Night
A swedish-american lovestory… Cole and Shpresa, met via Soundcloud, and the music. Fell in love, created music together, and Flora Cash entered this world.
The music is intelligent, bold and very sophisticated and low key… An amazing sound which has us spellbound. Just can’t stop listening…
The man, Justin Vernon, seems to be the golden boy. Every thing he puts his hands on, turns to something special.
This is no exception, the single released from the coming Volcano Choir album, ”Byegone” will be available in stores in september. But please do listen to it now. right here…
Sometimes… You just know when you stumble upon real music. Real musicians. Real emotions.
A friend in LA wrote me a letter, letting me know that she had something for me. Something that would be right up my alley.
I dont know if she knew how right she was. When I first heard the Song Preservation Society, I was baffled. I was in love.
This is for real. This is what what happens when real musicians and real writers get together and create. I feel small. I feel in love.
If you are totally unaffected by this, please let me know. Otherwise, just smile to your fellow person. Knowing you have met the love for music.
Song Preservation Society is Trevor Bahnson, Ethan Glazer and Daniel Wright. Their debut EP, Ready Room, was recorded in the fall of 2012 with guidance from the much respected Nino Moschella, ”master of coaxing”.
In my world, the sound of these guys is not to be placed on any coast of the vast country they operate in, but a national treasure. Listen, understand or let it just keep your heart in shape…
