Gem Club
Searching up on 2011’s finest bands on various blogs, I came across the beautifully somber and haunting Gem Club. Singer and pianist Christopher Barnes, cellist Kristen Drymala, and vocalist Leva Berberian create such an intimate sound with few instruments. The blend of their voices resonates throughout a space with utter grace. Their newest album Breakers makes the perfect soundtrack for...

The other blog...
I just started a second blog today. And though it’s not completely dedicated to great music like this one is, it will still be just as rad.

Bradley Hathaway
Beginning as spoken word poet, Bradley Hathaway has branched out to become a very powerful independent artist with many unique stories to tell. After his book “All The Hits So Far, But Don’t Expect Too Much” in ‘05 he began to create music. With a basis of a christian foundation, much of his music is shaped around spiritual truths, but unlike other christian artist his work...

Local Wonderfulness.
If you like good music that no one has quite heard and you want to be the first to discover it and be super DUPER cool, listen to this guy. He is worth a listen and more.

For all you indie folk fans. Go out and listen to Sullivan’s Letter by Audra Mae. Today I listened it for the billionth time, but this time around I truly “heard” it. What a beautiful story this southern gal sings!! Not only does Audra Mae have such rich character in that wonderful voice of hers, but the emotion it carries along with the stories she tells grips you with such a...
BRAHMS
Stumbling around on this here blog cite I came across the Brooklyn band BRAHMS. Trippy, chill, and what seems to have this interesting 80’s feel in it, this band is the type one would throw on a cool summer night and just sway to with a group of pals. BRAHMS is almost like our generations lax, drugged up type freestyle. This electro synth sound has you grooving. They’re fun! Give em a...
SHAME ON YOU!!
If you haven’t heard of Jon Brion and Yann Tiersen by now thank the heavens you came across this! These guys scored the wonderful flicks Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Jon Brion) and Amelie (Yann Tiersen) and create grand music. Go give a listen to these soundtracks. In 2010 Teirsen came out with a compelling album filled with unconventional sounds and risque lyrics. It is said that...
Strange Negotiations
Strange Negotiations
Personally when it comes to music, I absolutely love when a lyricist is honest and true in their work. No beating around the bush with their ideals or emotions, just straightforward and honest - with no inhibitions. David Bazan, one of the greatest communicative writers and musician does exactly that. Notorious for his honesty with regards to religion and government, his...

Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Wisconsin Gem Justin Vernon releases Bon Iver – Bon Iver, a truly wonderful album. If you are already confused, no worries. It is indeed confusing. Justin Vernon and his band mates Sean Carey, Michael Noyce, and Matthew McCaughan make up the indie folk band Bon Iver. Which also happens to be the album’s name…repeated twice, with a dash.
Justin Vernon and his mates stay very...
