the amsterdams // sunology

The Amsterdams is a total musical fizzle stick dosed with strong heady red wine.

The Amsterdams are a five-member band hailing from Bucharest, Romania. But don’t let that startle you, it just goes to show that good music can, and does come from the most unlikely of places. the song, “Sunology,” is a recent addition to the band’s candy-coated pop oeuvre. And, just perhaps the latest song is a teaser for a in-the-works forthcoming album in the near and dear future. Also, if you like their sound go to the band’s soundcloud page for a lot more. peace.

stars in coma // frozen spectacle

Nothing but a chilling beauty and the music which makes the heart-break upon hearing.

The slow drip of exquisite melody upon the ear and the doleful easement of melancholy blanketing the heart. This is beauty and an honest interpretation of love radiantly rendered. yet another ream of soul stuff polished bright from what i’ve grown to expect from Stars In Coma. “Frozen Spectacle” is a tender Christmas song written by André Brorsson, originally released in 2010. The song was re-recorded for “You, Me and a Nuance of Arctic Air,” a new forthcoming set to drop december 24, 2012. peace. Continue reading “stars in coma // frozen spectacle”

maitland // from a cabin in the woods (our sunday best)

a debut of 5-songs that’ll leave their mark on your heart.

picked over winter bones and whiskey memories. perhaps these are the what is left upon listening to the debut album from the duo Maitland (Josh Hines and Jeff Mach). these are songs with mileage and head full of steam in their conveyance of lives ravaged by living. listen to each song which make up ‘from a cabin in the woods’ and be touched with cold fingers and hushed haunting tomes (and all this from mostly an acoustic guitar and two drum sets). you’ll wake up in the pitch black of night sweat introspection gasping for more. peace.
