Laura Gibson’s Beast of Seasons is a gentle creature. Folk-inflected, guitar-led melodies thrum and cascade sweetly for the full length of the album. It’s pretty – but beautifully substantial stuff. Gibson has a voice that softly, quietly, gets under your skin.

While it’s fairly common for artists to perform a cover every once in a while, it’s much rarer (and more interesting) for a band to incorporate a cover into one of their own songs. The “song within a song” is cool for a number of reasons. It’s much harder to pull off then just [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time doing boring repetitive things at work, or just hiding from people by having headphones on (and we all do this, don’t we). This has co-incided with my discovery of the excellent GrooveShark and, since Spotify and Last.Fm are banned at my work, and iTunes only works on the moon, this pads [...]
Nanaimo: Songs from both of Theo Massop's releases along with a unique repertoire of pop, rock, alt-country, blues and Americana can be expected from this talented trio in Nanaimo's most intimate lounge.
I don't think Ben has listened to this album, although I know Elliott loves it so he may well have done. If so Ben, then contact me on Facebook and I'll switch it to another one. Anyway Grace is one of my favourite albums ever and I think its safe to say that Buckley is the greatest vocalist I've ever heard. This album shows his broad skill in many different styles of music from blues, to rock, to...
Review: Madeleine Peyroux (Royal Festival Hall, London Jazz Festival, November 20th 2009, review by Zena James) It was more folk/blues/country than jazz, and it lacked high-energy ‘fifth gear’ moments, but Madeleine Peyroux’s laid-back set nevertheless captured the hearts of a packed Royal Festival Hall on Friday. After all, fifth gear was not what this show was about. Clutching the...
Michael Hurley is the best folk singer the world has never heard of. Now at age 67, Hurley continues to prove with a new record why it is a shame you're still not listening. How many good records are put out by musicians and songwriters over the age of 60? Think about it. What recent release by a card-carrying AARP elder emeritus of music are you rushing out to hear? If you read this site regularly,...
He was actually writing about Bereaved Parents for Peace, an organization of Israeli and Palestinian families who had lost so much in the conflict and were compelled to reach across enemy lines. But to me, inasmuch as meaning in life can be found, this is it. I changed some of the pronouns to fit my feelings about the quote. Leave it to Leonard Cohen: "to locate you who have suffered as much as...
There’s a music Ph.D. thesis in here somewhere: an entertaining 5-minute video on how the I-V-VIm-IV chord progression has so thoroughly infiltrated pop music: This progression is a/k/a “The minor fall, the major lift,” as it’s called in Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which uses it in places (and which inspired a blog, now defunct but formerly here, [...]
As any fashionista worth her weight in Jimmy Choos can tell you, the obligatory visions—a close-up of a yellow ice lolly starting to melt at the bottom or the new CFDA Design Edition khakis at the GAP—never cease. Her recent foray into crochet caused snow storms everywhere. Greatto accessorize with the everyday ensemble; since, as everybody except for Leonard Cohen knows, wearing white...
I was flicking through the Indie last night in the pub and noticed a snippet about Beck's revamped website - http://www.beck.com/ . It's worth a visit to check out his Record Club. The Record Club is project where he gathers together various musicians in a studio with the objective of covering a classic album a day. He then releases a track a week from that featured album. The latest record to have...
