Alice Boman – ‘Waiting’

Amazing voice. The kind that stops you in your tracks (cliché as it is to say). Alice Boman is a Swedish singer, who releases her first EP ‘Skisser’ on May 22 through Adrian Recordings. The PR puts it well, “A Billie Holliday for the 2010s century, without the jazz.” Alice Boman – ‘Waiting’ Visit [...]

Cheval Sombre – 'Someplace Else'

New York’s Cheval Sombre is joined by Dean Wareham (Galaxie 500), Andrew VanWyngarden (MGMT) and Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3) on his new single ‘Someplace Else’. The ‘folkgaze’ tune straddles acoustic guitar, organ and atmospherics. The sedated feel is heavy and hypnotic, kinda like you just smoked an epic spliff and are powerless to get up from the [...]

Widowspeak – 'Ballad Of The Golden Hour'

Old Earth – ‘Less Words’

A special song for you from Old Earth. Guaranteed mood changer in under four minutes. Perhaps leaving you with a… ‘err, what just happened’ moment? ‘Less Words‘ creates a sense of space with tape hiss, clean guitar and harmonic vocals that blow in and out of the mix. I suppose this is an example of how [...]

The Ocular Audio Experiment – ‘Elizabeth’s Song’

Strange, spooky and surreal. I think its fair to say that The Ocular Audio Experiment aren’t for everyone. But for some, their latest record ’The Witch’s Whispering Tomes‘ will be something worth pouring over. Delivered in two parts, it has the same twelve psych’d out songs recorded in different styles. I’m still getting through the whole collection but ’Elizabeth’s Song’ [...]

Possimiste – 'Clockwordbird'

Possimiste‘s latest single ‘Clockwordbird’ is labelled as ‘hard-to-define-folk’ on Soundcloud. Couldn’t be more true, this is something different. First impressions sent fairytale books to mind, maybe a children’s fantasy soundtrack. Its not going to be everyone’s cup of tea but the talent and intricacy is unmistakable. Possimiste is a 19-year-old Estonian artist, who bares comparisons to [...]

Day Joy – 'Animal Noise'

Indie folkers Day Joy have released their new EP ‘Animal Noise‘. The pastoral title track weaves animal noises into the top and tail, despite being tracked at home in the living room. Studio trickery or lots of pet birds? Terrible joke, apologies! The Orlando, Florida duo will appeal to downbeat acoustic lovers (I didn’t say Fleet Foxes) and those [...]
