This has been up on many blogs already, but we figured one more re-post wouldn’t hurt. The following is reproduced from Graveface Records Soundcloud page and is about the Jason Molina Tribute Album to raise funds for his family. From William Schaff: “Back in January of this year, I received a message from a friend of Jason’s, Tara Samaha. Like so many of us were, … Continue reading Jason Molina Tribute Album – Weary Engine Blues
Watch Broken Anchor’s video for Never Leave Me Alone which is one of our favourite songs of the moment. We also have The Joy Formidable’s unusually shot live video for Little Blimp filmed entirely from a GoPro cam attached to the neck of Ritzy’s guitar at different live shows including SXSW, and their recent tourmates We Are Animal’s video for Royal Wolf. And to finish … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Broken Anchor || The Joy Formidable || We Are Animal || Dubl Handi

We’re still rounding up all those new releases, new tunes, good tunes, and more to keep your day as varied and joyous as ours…Ha! And so we have another ‘cop-out” post prompted by another fearsome backlog, which has once again kickstarted our anxiety over (a) failing to keep up, and (b) failing to give the appropriate time and text that these releases deserve and (c) … Continue reading More Rounding Up To Be Done

Lastly, watch Kaki King’s beautifully shot video in black and … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Little Sur || Wolf People || Valleys || Kaki King
Wickerbird (self-described as a “small, small folk project“) started out in the wilds of Washington State. His debut record, The Crow Mother, was wrought in seclusion and his latest, the five track EP, The Westering, serves as a spiritual addendum to its predecessor, a quiet post-script, long lost and forgotten in the frost. With ambient washes and echoes of dream pop, this record is the dying sun, … Continue reading MM Shorts 338: Wickerbird
Tallahassee, which means “old town” in Apalachee, formed in Providence, RI in 2008. All of the members grew up in small rural towns, so the adoption of the name not only carried significance, but has had an influence on the music they make together. Inspired by these small-town origins, the band spin stories with lush arrangements that take the best elements from folk, rock and alt-country. … Continue reading Tallahassee To Release Old Ways
Last week Shannon Hope released her self-titled EP, and it is a keeper we promise. In the late 00s she was one half of boy-girl riot-punkrrrs Glory Glory, they briefly blazed a drunken, mischievous trail across the UK’s DIY scene before imploding in a hungover haze. Relocating to her Suffolk hometown, Shannon quickly fell back into the local scene as drummer and vocalist for Fugazi-esque punk … Continue reading Introducing >>> Shannon Hope & Horse Party
