Crash n Recovery

Jonas

country

• Swedish Americanaband Crash n Recovery got the twang of greatness – foot-stomping, earthy, country music from the woods of Ångermanland.

New album Deep in the woods (released via Rootsy) will for sure be their break away record. Try song Minefield and have a good one!

• The Dirty Nil release new track ”No Weaknesses”. The Canadian trio of Kyle Fisher (drums), Luke Bentham (guitar/vox) and Dave Nardi (bass) got us celebrating life through a a solar-plexus-fist, an absolute knock-out.

The band has their first full-length album slated for an early 2016 release on Dine Alone. Get ready to rumble!

• Tvärvägen made some serious, down bound, glorious and pitch dark songs from the cellar of eternity. Gut-wrenching and thought-provoking. Takes the breath out of our lungs.

Moniker Henrik Öhberg came up with classic cinematic stuff here, we’re glad to tag along for the ride. Try title song This River So Red from upcoming album, release September 18.

Rearview: Tell Tale Signs

Bob Dylan is everything and more. He is the ground we stand on and the air we breathe. Without him, nothing.

Every now and then Dylan release bootlegs filled with alternative takes, unreleased stuff, live recordings – a gift that keeps on giving.

A humble thanks to our hero and check out Most Of The Time below. This is very far from the take that landed on the Daniel Lanois-produced album Oh Mercy back in 89. It’s from Tell Tale Signs (2008, bootleg 8) – stripped down and amazing. Breaks us down every single time.

Meet: Josh Ritter

• Dig that moving sound? That Mellencamp or LeMarc stuff where a song simply keeps driving and keeps growing and keeps pounding and don´t ever stop or even come up for air. It’s a thing of vast beauty.

Check out Josh Ritter and his song Where The Night Goes from new album Sermon On The Rocks (release Oct 16).

Sunshine & The Blue Moon

• We got a letter from amazing band Sunshine & The Blue Moon.

I think it’s safe to say we’re a nostalgic bunch. We get our music on vinyl or tape, we take our photos and shoot home videos on film, we drive around in my big old boat of a car, anything that brings us a little farther away from the pervasive technologies that dog all of our daily lives.”

Well that pretty much sums things up. We love this band. The song Lucy is beautiful as an autumn harvest in summer time. It’s a thing of truth, love and – nostalgia. Debut-LP out this Fall, we can´t wait.

• Like the dreamy sound of Kurt Vile and Woods? Then: don’t miss Palace Winter! It’s a Danish-Australian duo who got forthcoming EP Medication coming up. This beat is impossible to sit still to.

The title of song Menton is also the name of a French town where Carl Coleman (one half of Palace Winter) stayed in the summer of 2014 at the hotel Winter Palace, which also inspired the band name. Enjoy!

• Our old pal Daniel Pearson is back with a great new album. Alone, Together was released August 21 and is the third album from the English folk-americana-man.

It’s nine songs filled with raw, talented song-writing. It’s a Damien Rice-kind of heartfelt vibe and something to hold dear when darkness rolls in. We truly love the guy, check out his sweet song I Still Believe down below.
