The Broken Spoke - Vamps in the Valley
The Broken Spoke - Vamps in the Valley
Sounds like: Drive-By Truckers, The Avett Brothers, Justin Townes Earl
By Lauren Sloss on Jun 28, 2011 | The first time I heard Before There Were Easy Riders, the debut album from the indie-country outfit The Broken Spoke, reactions were, to say the least, mixed. "UGH," explained one listener. "It was all going fine until that voice! The TWANG!"We all l... read more →

Ed Wall - Nothing Hill
Ed Wall - Nothing Hill
Sounds like: Bowie, John Lennon, Nick Drake, The Kinks, Belle & Sebastian
By David Peter Simon on Jun 12, 2011 | Ed Wall is a modern day gypsy, and I'm not talking in the pejorative French way but rather the good, bohemian way. Talk about non-normative lifestyles -- the guy is currently in Colombia after finishing his lovely EP Pages of Day and Night. But while... read more →

Other Lives - For 12
Other Lives - For 12
Sounds like: Kunek, Lost in the Trees, Dark Dark Dark
By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 6, 2011 | How about something mildly obscure, but amazingly beautiful? This single from Other Lives reminds me quite quickly of Devendra Banhart or Edward Sharpe, though undoubtedly with elements all its own. For one, the band's melodies are perfectly harmonio... read more →

Beirut - East Harlem
Beirut - East Harlem
Sounds like: DeVotchKa, Fleet Foxes, Little Joy
By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 4, 2011 | Hello, Beirut! I remember the first time I heard your song "Postcards from Italy" off 2006's debut Gulag Orkestar. It was so amazingly refreshing that I had to rush out and tell all my friends.Now, here you are again, teasing us with a recording of a... read more →

Pushing Hands - He's Still Here
Pushing Hands - He's Still Here
Sounds like: Maccabees, Bombay Bicycle Club, Jack Steadman, The xx
By Dwayne on Jun 2, 2011 | Pushing Hands are a London four piece, cut from the same indie cloth as the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club and The Maccabees. They also sway off into the same pop-folk territory, just like the aforementioned bands. However, the influences of London's o... read more →

Cotton Jones - Somehow To Keep It Going
Cotton Jones - Somehow To Keep It Going
Sounds like: Sonny and the Sunsets, The Cave Singers
By Lauren Sloss on Jun 1, 2011 | I used to sing when I was a kid, and the big joke our director would throw at us was, "Hit your notes straight on! I don't want to hear any of that couuuuntry music dip!" Then he'd demonstrate and we'd laugh, because who wants to sound like a twangin... read more →

WIM - Something For You
WIM - Something For You
Sounds like: Grizzly Bear, Local Natives, Devendra Banhart, the Beatles, Jeff Buckley
By Hugh McClure on May 31, 2011 | A lot has happened in the short time since I reviewed WIM's EP (which was released in 2009). The boys have been exceedingly busy over the past few months, touring continuously while putting the finishing touches on their freshly released self-titled ... read more →

Not Waving But Drowning - Sleep Before I Wake
Not Waving But Drowning - Sleep Before I Wake
Sounds like: The Decemberists, Beirut
By Lauren Sloss on May 21, 2011 | Not Waving But Drowning may suggest a punning indifference with their name, but this Brooklyn band has a complex, delightfully addictive musical force. A Brooklyn band that can be described as steampunk, NWBD is perhaps better encompassed by their ow... read more →
