New York’s LG (Vocals,Guitars,Keys), Mike DiLalla (Bass) and Liza B.(Keys,Vocals) form Dead Leaf Echo, a lovely indie band, that’s really pleasant on the ears. Their influences seem pretty broad, but they all seem to point and converge into a single direction: shoegazing. Recently, the artsy trio, have just released their 2nd EP “Pale Fire,” via their own record label Year of the Gallon Records, an EP that shines with haunting ballads and dreamy melodies. The…

Her latest critically acclaimed album, “Albertine,” was highly influenced by her travels around the world, in Africa, Europe and Asia, as her music incorporates a very wide array of styles and motives, fact most evident…
Daniel Snaith (read Caribou) return with a fantastic effort last year, when he unveiled his paradisaical Andorra (no, not the financial paradise). “Irene” was one of my favorite tracks from it, so you can imagine the joy when I first set eyes on the video a few hours ago. Speaking of the video, it centeres the song’s vibe and ideas perfectly, featuring calming and serene footages of nature, sleepy animals, lazy insects and still waters…
With the band’s new album, “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends” right on the corner, it was righteously expected Coldplay would soon announce their tour dates. And so they’ve had, at least the initial North American ones. The band is set to play through the whole summer and much of autumn in the US and Canada, as part of their massive world tour planned that will see Coldplay play in 4 continents…
Things have cooled off a bit, after these last few weeks of really serious releases. Nevertheless, there’s still a few interesting stuff out this week, that will definitely grace your ears with some fine music. First off there’s the pop/rock/acoustic/jazz, and whatever different genres he’s playing, singer/songwriter Jason Mraz, with his highly anticipated third record “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.” One of my old time favorites, the indie rock quartet Death Cab for…
“There are a lot of stories I could tell about places I played and people I played with,” says Jorge Otero, the founder and only continuing member of the Spanish rock band Stormy Mondays, a name that most hardcore blues fan can relate to, being the title of one of T-Bone Walker’s classic songs.

Jack Rubinacci is an artist that just recently graced my ears, with his beautiful, soulful music. Half English/Italian, Jack spent a big chuck of his life on the road, traveling from country to country, until he eventually landed in Norway, where he currently lives. His particular experience of life, appreciation for the intellect and sensible character (he likes to think of himself as a true Virgo), makes his music sounds beautifully eclectic and very lyrically…
