Port Isla
[A]nthemic folk music with a splash of Fleet Foxy goodness all wrapped into a tight package, and flown over the pond and straight into our ears. I’ve been loving the sounds I’ve been hearing from Port Isla, a Norwich, UK folk rock band that belts out the
Sad Baby Wolf
[bandcamp track=694524699 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande] [B]ack in December of 2011 I posted up early tracks from Sad Baby Wolf, a project from ex Shins’ keyboardist Marty Crandall and former member Neal Langford.

City and Colour
[D]allas Green’s highly praised solo project City & Colour has a new record coming this summer, and finally released this beautiful track “Of Space and Time,” a gloomy track about loss, and being lost, that by its climax soars, but echoes within the sullen nature of the lyrics.
Treetop Flyers
[C]an I get a little Ventura Highway with my coffee this morning? Treetop Flyers are set to release their debut release, The Mountain Moves, on Partisan Records June 25th and have released this wonderful breezy tune “Things Will Change,” that sounds more like America than it does a 5

Brainstorm
[B]RAINSTORM’s new single “She Moves” released today, via Tender Loving Empire. The single is a dream-pop / scuzzed out tune, that screams experimental pop from beginning to end. It’s awful hard to define a tune like this, but something about it grabbed me pretty quickly. Whether its the
John Denver
[M]y Morning Jacket released a cover of John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” yesterday on NPR, as part of a tribute to the late songwriter on “The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver.” It’s a wonderful cover of one of the most iconic folk
