2016 Albums Coming Soon - Rabbit Wilde

I've supported Rabbit Wilde since I heard them on Band of the Day app under the name of Br'er Rabbit. I fell in love with their sound straight away. Their new album, The Heartlands, is out on February 19th and available here. For now though, here's their Tiny Desk Contest submission, Howl.

Land Lines

Love stumbling across new bands that are doing something a bit different. To me, Colorado is producing some of the best musicians at the moment. This Land Lines Tiny Desk performance just sucks you in.

Esme Patterson - What Do You Call A Woman?

I discovered Esme Patterson from her duet with Shakey Graves. A gorgeous voice with a lo-fi music style really does it for me.

Shakey Graves - And The War Came

It's always nice to come home to a parcel and even better when it contains Shakey Graves - And The War Came album. I came across Shakey from watching the Audiotree Channel on YouTube and loved the raw style straight away. I heard Shakey's style described as Crunge (Country Grunge) and it's probably pretty. At times an acoustic one man band and at others an electric band maestro. Shakey Graves is likely to be massive in the coming years. If you're in the UK catch him on tour this April quick while the tickets are cheap!

Listen to the album on Spotify or buy it now...

The Arcade Fire & David Bowie - Wake Up

I think it was this collaboration with David Bowie that got me in to The Arcade Fire. If David Bowie can play your song with you then you must have done something right.

David Bowie RIP

Sad news this morning.
