    I Don't Know What To Feel
    (Mini-LP) The War on Drugs meets The Carpenters... Warm und intensiv produzoert von Dave Hartley (The War On Drugs) und Nick Krill (The Spinto Band)The War on Drugs meets The Carpenters... Warm und intensiv produziert von Dave Hartley (The War On Drugs) und Nick Krill (The Spinto Band) The Dove & The Wolf consists of the joint songwriting team of Paloma Gil and Lou Hayat, who have been playing together for more than 10 years. After spending twelve months across 2014-2015 touring with musicians like Rachael Yamagata, Butch Walker and Hemming, the duo had no intention of slowing down. When we packed our things in Philadelphia and returned to Paris last September, we thought we would be back in America soon after Lou says. We had just started working on our first album in LA when our one-year visas expired. Our lawyer told us it would probably take a month, maybe a month and a half to get back. It took five. Paloma nods in agreement. We almost never questioned whether we would get the visas and return to America. But then it was like okay, it s been two months and we haven t heard anything. That made these new relationships even more intense. And then the attacks happened. In the weeks after, nothing made sense anymore. We were so lost. Lou finishes her thought with an intimacy common between the best friends. Thank God we were still in Paris. It was important to be there in those weeks. When the girls returned to Philadelphia, they put a band together with drummer Craig Hendrix and bass player Andy Black. They tracked the songs live with their new band members and Jesse Hale Moore on keys. TRACKS: 1. Are You Thinking Of Me 2. Green & Yellow 3. The Smell Of Us 4. Seven Days 5.

    Oh No The Drift Of The World
    Wunderbare bluesy & folky Singer / Songwriter - Entdeckung! Ruhig, akustisch, arachaisch, atmosphärisch & tief.Wunderbare bluesy & folky Singer / Songwriter - Entdeckung! Erscheint auf dem Label von Scoobius Pip. Ruhig, akustisch, arachaisch, atmosphärisch & tief. Oh No. The Drift Of The World is a debut album that doesn't feel the need to shout loudly. In fact, it's probably one of the most stirringly intimate records you'll hear all year, a collection of bluesy, folky acoustic songs largely consisting of guitar and hushed, smoky voice, performed by the somewhat mysterious Jackamo Brown. The album comes in two 18-minute parts, with ambient recordings linking and running through the tracks. It's an anti-shuffle record, its mood, feel and ethos coming from another, simpler time. Recorded and produced YILA at Empire Studios in Hackney and mastered by Mandy Parnell at Black Saloon. The recording was basic: just a mic gaffer taped to Brown's guitar, a mic for his vocals and some room mics for capturing the street noise bleeding in through open windows and the guitar and organ that feature on three tracks. Further ambient sounds were recorded after the session by Jackamo in his local area. Influenced by Bert Jansch, Dylan and Arthur Lee, whose Five String Serenade is covered on the album, Brown began recording music seven years ago, having written songs in private for years before that. Many of the tracks on the album date back to that time. The most dominant theme from the listener's perspective, I think, is of love lost or relinquished, says Brown. There are other cheery subjects like death and alienation thrown in too, as well as quiet nods to Russian Literature and Lorem Ipsum. The idea of releasing the tracks did not come naturally to the reluctant performer. I never had any intention of pursuing a music career, says Brown. I still have no real desire to earn a living through music, or earn a living at all really. I have some issues with selling your art but there is enough distance between me now and the Jackamo of the songs and I jumped at the opportunity to give them a physical form.The offer to do so came from Scroobius Pip, who releases the album on his Speech Develpment Records label. In the age of everyone knowing everything about everyone I was weirdly excited by the fact that, if you Google Jackamo Brown you find very little, says the poet/rapper. As a fan of his work, I wanted to get some of his music recorded together, in one collection and as one piece. Outside of music, Jackamo Brown occasionally works in libraries. I always choose time over money and so spend the majority of my time dedicated to philosophy, literature and music and convincing myself that poverty is noble. I studied philosophy to post-graduate level and I am about ready to start work on a book. One thing you shouldn't expect to see is Jackamo Brown performing live. I have never wanted the particular sort of attention that goes with a stage performance or the applause of a crowd (assuming anyone might applaud), he says. I did a live session of sorts for Jon Hillcock and played a live set at the Leigh Folk Festival in order to be sure I was not just rationalising a fear of performing live. I may, of course, change my mind down the line. We suspect he'll find many new devotees who hope he does. TRACKS: PART ONE: 1. Dust In My Veins 2. In My Time 3. When She Comes 4. Five String Serenade 5. Elena-Jane PART TWO: 6. Prayer For Slow Death 7. Cara Silas 8. Lay Low 9. Loren Ipsum 10. Then I Go 11. Till One Morning Everything Burned

Vinyl-only Massive waves of abrasive and downtrend sludge core heaviness - CVLT Nation Following on from the release of their 'Host' EP last year, London-based progressive sludge/noise-rock four-piece Wren, are now gearing up to release their new album Auburn Rule . Recorded at Holy Mountain Studios by Misha Hering (Memnon Sa) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Beastmilk, Fucked Up and High On Fire), the new album sees the bands most consummated material yet. Calling to mind the likes of Neurosis, Amenra and Old Man Gloom, Auburn Rule is a masterfully bleak and aggressive collection of tracks, which traverse an unyielding foray of styles and influences with nods to post-metal, noise-rock, sludge and doom. Full of morose and slow moving acerbic moods, tempos and soundscapes, the album seamlessly merges visceral instrumentation and vocals with moments of ominous yet ethereal serenity. Wren have garnered healthy support from select press in their short time together, with their last EP Host commanding praise from the likes of CVLT Nation, The Obelisk, Terrorizer and, most notably, Daniel P. Carter with repeat plays on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show. Supports under the likes of Minsk, Ohhms and Kowloon Walled City have helped establish the band both in the UK and EU, and Wren have also made select festival appearances at Carefully Planned and Incubate Festival and are set to appear at Raw Power later this year.

    Stellar Fire
    Stellar Fire has become a track title on another album. This album has been deleted due to technical issues. If these can be overcome it may be re-released one day, but until then most of the tracks are on Silk Stone and Silver Wood anyway. I've left the old description below just in case you (or me) needed to read it:)... While planet rock was erupting from the riffs, rock and roll of the 1960s, the music for this suite was being jammed in coal sheds in Yorkshire and the Streets of Paris. Bands were scraped together from among friends and battered used equipment. Talent mattered first, to survive where audiences could enjoy destruction as much as entertainment. With roots tangled across both sides of a meandering track, these songs draw inspiration from rock, blues and classical lore. They are untainted by tuition or formality and have easy, friendly vocals. With a guitar style born of 60s and 70s rock/blues, they were recorded and produced in a back bedroom, using Audacity software... The Aviator riff draws you into a refreshing yet familiar world. With Irish roots, it's beat nods and stomps, as a story based in the living lore of rock-pop from the 70s fires your imagination. The battered Fender Stratocaster guitar of Rory Gallagher is an adulated icon of rock and blues. Tribute is paid here both lyrically and tonally to the aching wonder that Leo Fender released to the public in 1954 - the year that Alex Oliver, the album's composer, was born. As he wrests the sound of singing winds and crying beasts from his own guitar, Alex calmly leads us through the song like an eminent sage. It's like we are sitting round a glowing fire. Good story teller that he is, you can feel the thunderbird rising as the tale unfolds. It is as if an alien has arrived - the feeling people got when the guitar was first electrified. May the dust never settle on your dreams. Comparing the guitar to a gamut of heroic devices (hence aviator), Aviator celebrates everything we love about our musical heritage, as it slid sensationally from blues through 60s pop to rock. It is anthemic and driving...it will compel air guitarists and dancers alike to enjoy it to the full. One (Stellar Fire) Then, as the ariel moan of a biplane sustains sweet memories of the mad biker that is aviator, we are swiftly introduced to a guitar fanfare announcing a softer mood. With lyrics taken from Celtic, Gael and Manx myths (with a bit of Patrick Moore thrown in), One - Stellar Fire is not what you'd immediately guess to be a love song. Giving us the album title, this tale speaks of how forces beyond human reckoning enrich our lives and loves. An unashamed tenderness is evident in the conversations that two guitars enjoy in the intro, softly swished along on cymbals. The Hispano-Irish anthem then moves along with the rhythm, which is wrought purely from an acoustic guitar. Peruvian influence can be traced in the vocal harmonies that are eased along with bright arpeggios. The lyric of One tells us that love which comes to us is a gift of the universe, and maybe we should learn to live with it and not fight it. ...where two riders meet, in the skies over love... Whilst we contemplate the somewhat deep opening lyric for such an airy piece, an Appalachian guitar solo echoes as if played in woodlands. It stirs primeval spirits that move softly, yet unstoppably through every cell of our being. Then with a joyous, almost Christmassy feel, a violin technique on the guitar takes the riff towards a concluding verse. The cosmic undertone in this lyric enforces the album's theme, telling of stars that hide from the day... 1960s pop music influences the design this piece, which now runs to the close with a sustained uplifting chant, riding on the chorus. A gentle fade brings closure, not to one, but two tracks. Distant guitars emulate the image of the vocal line - love is like a comet flight. They finally recede into silence, allowing an important moment of contemplation between tracks. Son of The Night Having effortlessly flowed from rock and blues to pop, the mood suddenly changes. Son of the Night comes in through a door we did not know existed. At first, we feel continuity as Tibetan chants and mountain horns instil a quiet inner mood - like a soft conclusion to the work. You can almost feel the pull of distant planets, as your mind floats into Himalayan serenity. Then the drums, bass and guitar release their fury into the mythical calm. It is as if the powers of meditation have suddenly cracked a cosmic whip - brought you back to the here and now, in the entity of an album that reads like a painted cave. Son of the Night flies like a dragon through dark Tolkeinesque skies. It is the beast of human consciousness, telling us with an inner voice about how much we have achieved - and deceived for ourselves. Ranging from the right to wander wherever we like on this and other planets, to the fact that we barely understand ourselves, this song's lyrics enjoy a pure, unadulterated rock foundation. It is a driven thing - with vigour Vivaldi might use. An unexpected tumultuous end to the album, this is a vehicle for the free voice of the electric guitar, to soar in ways that release and inspire us. From the coarse driven rhythm to the sweeter, haunting lead guitars, we are allowed to experience extremes of emotion. The chaos of the first break sorts itself into patterns we barely understand, creating melody from a myriad notes, showering like sparks from a blade. It's Eastern mystery and promise settle the unrest, just long enough for us to hear the next part of the saga. 'Illuminated views across eternal rivers gleam', it sings, taunting the cowardice our forefathers and some latter-day leaders have shown. Fear of the truth is not just the domain of the wrong-doer, people are often mislead by their good intentions. A second guitar solo is one of the composer's favourite traits. They allow his music to go to higher plains of enjoyment, enforcing the mood of a lyric or riff. The second break in Son of the Night follows a breathy moment of spiritual realisation, where suddenly we can see our potential and our soul screams for it to be realised. This time the guitar has an orgiastic resolve, the sweetness of on old lover revisiting our bosom, the excitement of a new one... Just as the album started with an old familiar feel - like you'd known it all your life - so too it seems it might leave us with a refrain as familiar as our favourite t-shirt. But in the last moment, conscious perhaps that we can be forgetful, an a capella line shouts and hisses vengeance, like something escaped from a horror movie. With that, the album is gone from our speakers, gone from our headphones - gone from the air we breath, yet it remains with us like the feeling we get as we leave a cinema... ...Inspired by heroes, thrilled by beauty, invincible, strong, yet philanthropic. Thanks to Stellar Fire, now we can all feel like super heroes.

    Ex-Squared
    The Circuloid EP is the first release from Clark Sorley's Legacy label. The title track, EX-Squared, with it's speech effects and dissonant texture, nods to the darker tonality of drone whereas the other pieces have a more sympathetic air culminating in Serenity Then's hanging piano. Sorley is accompanied there and on Ode To John by Seonaid Aitken whose layered violins weave an acoustic tapestry around the otherwise grainy synthesis. If artists like Yared and Helios mean anything to you then Circuloid might too.

    Living History
    NUANCES, QUIRKS, STORIES, AND SUCH..... (written by Mari Rusnak, aka 'Torchy Blaine') Chuck Schaeffer doesn't believe in cookie-cutter almost-country music, so he's determined to create his own style..... Running on two speeds, 'Stop' and 'Go', Schaeffer and Co. Can slide into John Prine territory with good-old-days memories of Baseball Videos (listen closely, and you'll swear you can almost hear Prine's echoes of '.....ham-burgers! Cheese-burgers! Wilbur and Orville Wright! John Garfield in the afternoon, Montgomery Clift at night....' from his own 'Picture Show'), all the while dipping into Clint Black sharpness and Tim McGraw tones, but without the hokey mess.... Creating songs with just heart, a good time, and a little wisdom for good measure, Chuck is a man of determination and endurance. He invites us on his road of personal discovery, and it appears to be a trip where the songwriter is actively pulling all of these influences and ideas out of the atmosphere surrounding him, and with grit and guts, molds them into a legacy of cool delivery, a breath of fresh air, and a couple of nods to nostalgia. Don't be mistaken.... this ain't like no country you've ever heard of before.

    Strange Tales of the Amazing Platypus
    STATEN ISLAND, NY--The long-running joke of the Wahoo Skiffle Crazies is that they are Staten Island's best and only jug band. This is definitely true, and made more obvious by the band's new album. Last week, with a show at Martini Red, the band released it's first LP in 5 years: 'Strange Tales of the Amazing Platypus.' On Saturday, the group will continue to push the recording into the city's atmosphere, with a show at Brooklyn's new and excellent venue The Rock Shop. (The show will also feature a noted but secret Brooklyn-based country-fried singer/hip-hop artist. Show up to find out). Anyone who has heard the multitudinous Skiffle Crazies play in recent years will recognize plenty of the material on 'Amazing Platypus.' After a long opening track of Time Bandits-like space-meets-industrial-revolution-seafaring-noise, the group launches into one of their standards, 'Beach Street Mess Around.' It's a rabble-rousing local neighborhood anthem, made even more wobbly Brian McGowan's great saw playing (a near constant and enjoyable sound through the album), and a great introduction to the band. 'Amazing Platypus' goes on like that, melding bandmembers' love for depression era rags, old time music, and folky protest songs with more contemporary nods and plenty of local color. Sometimes they do their own take on a traditional, like fictional train song with chantey harmonies, 'Wabash Cannonball.' Or they'll combine their own lyrics with something done by another jug band--like the mid-tempo 'Van Doozy Days,' which combines lyrical love for Van Duzer Street with a tune by Memphis Jug Band. But some of the best stuff comes in the CD's originals, the lazy, plucky banjo tune by Wahoo Skiffle Crazies illustrationChris Sorrentino An illustration of the Wahoo Skiffle Crazies Carl Gallagher, 'Kentucky Derby Day,' is an immediate favorite, not only for it's simplicity in arrangement, but for having an obvious effortless origin (I'm guessing an incredibly hot, slightly drunk, summer afternoon). And the instrumental 'Platypus' interludes, while offering more of a histrionic semblance of a concept album than anything actually tying the thing together thematically, do offer a respite from the band's more grating tendencies (playing too much, too often, sounding too samey, etc.). Still, if you're not into the Wahoos' particular kind of music, you shouldn't be listening anyway, and those who know what they've signed up for will definitely enjoy this album. Engineered and produced by ever-busy local Joe Pecora at his Red Room Studio, the recording sounds mostly clear--a feat for a band that operates with a regular and purposeful element of cacophony. Even the strangest instruments take solos, from Rob Yuzuk's kazoo to Dan Gallagher's bucket bass, and that's the kind of everybody-gets-some socialism we can all appreciate, right? All in all, 'Strange Tales of the Amazing Platypus' may not exactly divulge too much of the reasoning behind it's name. The Amazing Platypus is a early 20th century boat, perhaps, a comical Titanic bound for tragedy on which the Wahoo Skiffle Crazies are the house band? It's up to the listener to decide. But Chris Sorrentino's illustrations--great as always--give you some hints. And really, does it matter? The band's proletarian aesthetic, their history-conscious documentation of the modern neighborhood bacchanalia, is unique and enjoyable. Steal yourself a copy, pop it in, raise your cup and raise your voice with the Wahoo Skiffle Crazies...and imagine the crackle of an old phonograph as you do it. Ben Johnson.

    My Darlings
    The album was recorded by Frank and long time collaborator and songwriter Jim Kitson in the summer of 2009 with Frank on vocals, guitar,mandolin, banjo and percussion while Jim played drums, bass, electric guitar fiddle and accordion. Their guiding influences ( a love of soul, rock'n'roll and folk), has inspired the creation of fifteen earthy pop songs tinged with a folk sensibility. 'Three minutes is an important time period to us' says Frank ' the greatest songs of the last century all seem to come in around that mark, it's a filter, a purifying discipline' Jim raises an eyebrow at this remark and says. 'Not that we're available on 'specialist' sites or anything, we love pop music, that's it really, and there aren't enough banjos or accordions in it for my liking. Especially banjos' He smiles ironically. Frank nods in agreement 'Though it's sometimes been a bit of a purifying discipline not to hit him over the head with it.' he adds. Musical differences aside it's beautifully crafted and insinuatingly memorable music coupled with insightful witty lyrics that makes Frank Finighan's first album an instant classic.
