Marissa Nadler is releasing Little Hells on March 3rd via Kemado Records. They’ve offered “River of Dirt” as a free download and she won me over with the line: “El Camino, take me home.” Her ethereal sound will appeal to fans of Alela Diane, Neko Case, and Joanna Newsome.

My Favorite People at Karaoke Night

February 13, 2009

I had the pleasure of taking in some karaoke the other weekend here in Chicago and, as usual, it tickled my fancy. While I’ve never personally performed a song, I did once sign up for “Here I Go Again” by Whitesnake, but chickened out. The best performance I ever saw was a rendition of “Chocolate [...]

Vetiver – Tight Knit [Album Review]

February 12, 2009

Tight Knit is Vetiver’s fourth album, but it’s their first appearance in my music collection. San Francisco singer-songwriter Andy Cabic is the soul of the band that plays gently strummed, breezy acoustic songs perfect for a beach day along the Bay. While the slower tracks like “Rolling Sea” and “Through The Front Door”‚ are the [...]

The Thermals have a long, long anticipated new album out in April called Now We Can See. The title track was just released yesterday and it’s a tasty appetizer. I’m about to Incredible Hulk my shirt off in the office and tear apart my cubicle with my bare hands. I must see this band in [...]

The O’s – We Are The O’s [Album Review, SXSW 2009]

February 11, 2009

Of all the writers on HearYa, I’m the guy that likes music that’s rough around the edges. Bands like O’Death, Black Diamond Heavies, and Left Lane Cruiser are right in my wheelhouse.
