young man // fate

The sophomore release from Young Man, Vol. 1, is a seemingly effortless body of work. It is beautiful and dripping with the tranquil and the utterly melodic. As the 23-year-old Brooklyn singer/guitarist/songwriter Colin Caulfield readily demonstrates his prowess with well crafted and melodic songs. Listen and watch his video for the song, “Fate” and immerse yourself ear deep within its lush beauty. Vol. 1 is an album you’ll want to listen to more and more, so why don’t you give Young Man a try. In closing, I am also recommending Colin Caulfield’s Ideas Of Distance EP. Yes, it’s only 3 songs, but they’re much more here than 3 songs. Peace.

Available on iTunes and Amazon

World Blanket // And Here We Are (Again Maybe)

The band is World Blanket, and although these are big city (Brooklyn, NYC) men, their music sounds like it may well have been wrought in more rural environs. Listen to, “And Here We Are (Again Maybe) and the Syd Barrett cover, “Let’s Split” and you can easily reconcile the fact that the bands geographic location is of little consequence at all. World Blanket’s latest LP album titled 2012 will drop everywhere worldwide on April 3rd. Totally good stuff. Like good sex, good liquor and good times. Peace.

French Horn Rebellion / / This Moment

Blood may be thicker than water, but the music that moves trumps all. French Horn Rebellion are Robert and David Perlick-Molinari, two brothers born originally hailing from the environs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Theirs is a story of rebellion cloaked heavily within the mantra “follow your dreams.”  According to legend, way back in  2007, younger brother Robert, made a decision that would changed the course of both brother’s lives. He ditched the safe, or perhaps arduous path, pursuing a career playing  classical French Horn or taking a chance and reaching for the brass ring. He chose the latter, and enlisted his brother into this wild eye scheme. Well, needless to say their gamble payed off., and so French Horn Rebellion was born. Check out the duo’s track “This Moment” and tell me it doesn’t move into your veins like something illicit and fill your ears with joy. Enjoy. Peace.  Continue reading “French Horn Rebellion / / This Moment”
