Cape Snow – One More Time

Cape Snow is a collaboration between New England’s Tiger Saw collective and LA-based Bree Scanlon, that draws comparisons to such artists as  Mazzy Star, the Cowboy Junkies and Low.   One More Time is simply gorgeous – a haunting, magical Americana waltz that slowly reveals the sorrow and heartbreak at its core, “I’d do most anything to say hello, one more time.” Desolation never felt so languorous or … Continue reading Cape Snow – One More Time

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Snowblind Traveler

On his latest album Confederate Burial, Snowblind Traveler, aka Long Island born songwriter Matt Dorrien, plays the song of the common man. His music is inspired by the rolling expanse of middle America, the fog and lichen draped cathedral of redwoods of the northwest, the lulling whisper of a New England blizzard, the sorely disappointed, the dearly loved, the true and honest, those who are … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Snowblind Traveler
