"I am going to give these songs a few more listens. I enjoy the songwriting skills of okkervil river. at this point I'm not sure of the production on this album. The lyrics are pointed but the music jangles alot wasting the possibility of adding drama in the mix. I still like the vocals though. track 3 and 4 are standouts" less
"Ok don't let this throw you off. I like Brazillian Jazz vocals. It sometimes happens when your latin. I have a headset with strictly latin samba jazz. Rosa Passos will cool up any low key moment Track 3 and 11 are a good start." less
"Great Blues from legends Felix Cavaliere and Steve Cropper. Track 1: One of Those Days, Track 2: If It Wasn't for Loving You,Track 4: Full Moon Tonight" less
"Carmine Appice wrote this tune with Rod Stewart. Here is a suprisingly raw and goth version with Pat Travers on Guitar (who would of thunk it). NICE" less
"Here's a true story. My daughter likes Korean pop music. I searched all music for "Korean" and found Korea Campfire. This is awesome if you haven't found it. These guys are an obscenley confident group. File under ALT_HIDDEN_GEM" less
"Sebadoah basically is more melodic and has earthier vocals but has the same amount of energy as Dinosaur Jr. The Freed Pig drives home this point." less
"Some of the reviews posted on this collection miss the point. Sic Alps are a band that just lay down tunes low-fi style. They just keep it basic and tinge it 60's donovan or t-rex or just raw. Raw songwriting with attitude works for me. "Gelly Roll Gum Drop" is as good as this style can be. Rock-n-Roll" less
"I'm not sure how this is happening but I seem to be attracted to the west coast indie bands this month. "Now or Heaven is 21 century "beach boys" thing.I like the drive against the muted airy guitars." less
"Innocuous driving tune. Nice electronic alt-tune that has a great bare vocal vocal/synth start then is layered nicely to a swirling crescendo. A nice find" less
"Thanks for the suggestion. Nice 80's goth ala Peter Murphy/Depeche Mode smashed together. Some how sounds bizarrely like a Nine Inch Nail/ Simple Minds like mixture." less
