Bandcamp Hunting #3 - 5 Things You Should Hear

Only lately I started to discover the magic of Bandcamp. Since it's so wonderful and contains endless creators and music styles, I decided to "dig" for some new tunes, hoping it may give you an opportunity to listen to stuff which could have escaped from your ear... so let's go...

Chandeen - Blood Red Skies

Seems that you can still hear good Alternative New Wave music made in Germany. Chandeen are working together since 1990, saying that they are inspired by Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno and Cocteau Twins what made me listen and enjoy their music as well

Eva Kinnebrew - Kinetic Friction

Eva Kinnebrew is making bitter sweet Folk songs with acoustic guitar and her soft wonderful voice. I listen to it late at night and it might be one of my favourite "Before sleep" records. She describes the album as various thoughts about travel and "home"...


There's Talk - Tiny Strands

I didn't know that there's something called Electronic Folk until I heard this short EP of this San Francisco based Trio. The voice of Olivia Lee is haunting and fits the simple production of this EP. Don't miss it!


Cavalier In Clay - Bulb [Single]

This is the first single from upcoming second album of Brady Sklar, which will be called Appalechia. Brady is making Folk Rock songs and draws his inspirations from John Denver and Johnny Cash to Wilcow and Bon Iver. I liked it and I'm waiting for the full release

Urban Rescue - Listen Empty B-Sides

This is a collection of four acoustic B-sides from an album with the same name which was released on 2012. I like the voice of Jordan Frye as well as the beautiful minimalist production of this release. Hoping to hear about them in the future

San Francisco (Pick Word #18)

After Visiting in Amsterdam, we can fly away to our next City Tour destination. The flight will take us to the west coast of the US, to San Francisco. San Francisco was founded in 1776 by Jose Joaquin Moraga and Francisco Palou and became the 14th most populated city in USA with over 800,000 citizens . The city is known for its Golden Gate, its important financial district and even the prison island called Alcatraz which is located not far from San Francisco's shoreline. In music, it was the birth place of some great bands like The Greatful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Metallica and Faith No More. Moreover, many songs were written about this beautiful city, five of them by Foxygen, Arctic Monkeys, Chris Isaak, Camera Obscura and Scott Mckenzie, you can hear right here below....
