VIDEO PREMIERE: Natalie Henry – Weed, Wine and Women

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Natalie Henry returns with a brand new single that touts some of life’s essentials… ‘Weed, Wine and Women’. With a sweet and sassy, honky-tonk saloon swing the song hits one hell of a great 70s country vibe. It’s a tongue- in-cheek song that possesses a standard of songwriting that the likes of Nikki Lane, Jaime … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: Sam Newton – Burning Bridges

Sydney songwriter Sam Newton continues his run of impressive singles in 2021 with ‘Burning Bridges’. The soulful Americana track has a classic Ryan Adams feel in the music, with gentle organ notes ringing out amid the delicate yet ornate percussion of Reuben Alexander and the sweetly balanced backing vocals by Rebecca Ursino. Newton knows how … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: Wonders of the Yukon – Rachel (And All The Goofs And The Stars)

Posted on by • Leave a comment

This is one of those great songs that rolls along effortlessly, blending country, folk and ragged college rock sounds. You can hear Wilco cosying up with Pavement and a cosmic Americana vibe as the perfectly jangly/dirty guitars swing and sway on a warm bed of distortion. There’s also a power pop element, particularly in the … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: CHILLEMI – Neon Bride

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Things are getting shadowy and noir with this dark and moody single from the LA-based artists CHILLEMI. There’s a very cool ghostly shimmer and a gothic twang to the song and given that stylised sound, it makes sense that there’s a Twin Peaks connection with the video clip starring Giselle DaMier, best known for her … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: The Nielsen Family Band – Fragile Flowers

Posted on by • Leave a comment

I dig the way this track dances so lightly across the speakers. There’s a baroque folk feel, a touch of the pop nous of Harry Nilsson and a freak folk freedom going on. The Nielsen Family Band know their way around a charming and clever melody on ‘Fragile Flowers’, it sits on a solid backbeat … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: Stone Jack Jones – I’m Made

Posted on by • Leave a comment

‘I’m Made’ is a brand new track from Stone Jack Jones and featuring the vocals of Adia Victoria. Dense, desolate, driving psych country folk and blues sounds are the order of the day here. It reminds me a lot of New Zealand band The Renderers who trade in a similar form of gothic psych country. … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: Wildie – Old Man

Posted on by • Leave a comment

Wildie are a Swedish quartet who, from the sound of this track ‘Old Man’, excel at writing and performing country flavoured West Coast sounds with a classic pop streak. There’s Wilco, Ron Sexsmith, a dash of early Midlake and above all some lush, melodic 70’s style songwriting that sounds effortless. The song comes from their … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: Elizabeth King – Living In The Last Days

Produced by Fat Possum Records’ Bruce Watson, this is a pretty irresistible slice of upbeat sacred soul from the 77 year old Memphis soul gospel queen Elizabeth King, who released her first single back in 1970. ‘Living In the Last Days’ is the title track to her debut album on the Memphis imprint Bible and … Continue reading →

NEW MUSIC: Mirabai Ceibi – She

Posted on by • Leave a comment

There’s a delicate intimacy to this new track from Mirabai Ceibi (singer Angelika Baumbach and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Markus Sieber (Aukai)). Reminiscent of Aldous Harding’s early work, it’s folk music in its purest sense, devoid of electricity and bathed in Baumbach’s hypnotic, hymnal voice and Sieber’s plucked strings. From what I can gather, they’re heavily involved in the … Continue reading →
