“A lot of my songs are blues-based and guitar driven. For me, it’s more about the feeling that the sound of the song gives you. I would hope that it gets you to tap your foot and think about how that crazy fool broke your heart!” Read more

NPR Music calls her “soft as an old shawl.” Sub-Pop Records labels her country-noir, indie ling coined in the attempt to disassociate the term country from connotations of Toby Keith, Martina McBride and Dodge Ram advertisements. Sera Cahoone\’s graceful lo-fi alternative-country canters half-way back to the classic 70’s folk movement with a soft firm drum and a strong alto and wedges the rest of her music in comfy blue-grass denim. “I got my own style! BAM!” she says, and then acknowledges her favorite decade. Read more

WILCO announce “Wilco (The Album)”
Filed Under Updates | 2 Comments
Pitchfork has the details on the new Wilco record yesterday. The album is called Wilco (The Album), which probably (hopefully) shows a band not taking itself overseriously. We’ve got a good feeling about this record, though we couldn’t put a name to the reason.
It took us a long time to warm up to the “Sky Blue Sky” record, but in hindsight it stands Read more

Samuel Dickison, a sandy-haired, white-browed son of the Palouse and Moscow, has recently stepped out of the lentil fields with a clean-cut guitar and a well-built voice as one of the most promising nuggets of talent that that this Heart of the Arts has to offer. Read more

Stereopathic: Entertaining Moscow-Pullman
Filed Under Featured, Shows, Updates | Leave a Comment
It’s Stereopathic’s busiest week yet. All told, we’re bringing in six out-of-town artists to entertain Moscow with various forms of folk music, countrified and otherwise. Check out our Birds on a Wire page for links to everyone’s respective myspaces, and for a big fat pic of David Dalbey’s beautiful poster. And, of course, there’s more after the jump . . . Read more

Phoenix - Lisztomania
Filed Under Updates | Leave a Comment
Aspects of the song will remind you of The Strokes, which might, if you are like us, be a mixed bag. But ultimately, it’s just a song. And it’s plenty catchy. I don’t think it bears much more comment.
Information: The band is French. The lead singer has fathered a child with Read more

Empire of the Sun “Walking on a Dream”
Filed Under Updates | 2 Comments
I’m wary of the iTunes Free Single of the Week. They’re usually contemporary retro tunes that come off very affected, as if they’re aping genre for nostalgia only. It’s the difference between Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino rips off a genre and gives it meaning, Ritchie does it for style and little substance. Most of the time, I’ll listen to the thirty second sample of the song and pass. I can only take so much synth-driven garage rock and there’s only so much space on my hard drive. Read more

Alexis Gideon: Antics/Musics
Filed Under Updates | Leave a Comment
The sticks hit the timpani with a simple tap to start a song, beat beat beat. You can almost see a smirk form in the corner of the drummer’s mouth as the beat intensifies and an electronica symphony elides into the beat. The start of an Alexis Gideon piece of schizo-rap is like catching the moment when Fred Astaire simultaneously alights onto a set and a song and discovers Read more
