Posted: November 20, 2014 in MUSICTags: Before July, Elliott Smith, July, Marissa Nadler, singer songwriter
Near the beginning of the year, the spectral folk singer Marissa Nadler released a soft glow of an album called “July”. Today, she’s hitting us with “Before July”, a digital-only EP that includes four demos — two July songs and two unreleased songs. And it’s also got Nadler’s atmospheric, vaguely gothy cover of “Pitseleh,” a heartbreaker of a song from the late legend Elliott Smith’s 1998 album XO. In Nadler’s hands, the lyrics and melody are the same as they were with the original, but the arrangement is very, very different.

I just so love this Singer Songwriter from London, he has such an amazing vocal and this new track from the up and coming UK Luke Sital-Singh; ‘Tornado Town’ is a tender and lovelorn choice cut from his forthcoming Tornadoes EP, which is out 3rd November on Parlophone. This session finds the young musician up on a London rooftop, solely strumming on his acoustic guitar, offering an intense and personal take on the track.

Taken from Vance Joy’s debut album ‘Dream Your Life Away’.Vance Joy’s sweet, intimate, stripped-down tunes are the perfect remedy for relaxation. His indie-folk addictive tracks, like “Riptide,” will leave you absentmindedly reciting the lyrics over and over again in your head, and pretty soon you’ll be seeing his face everywhere, thanks to his upcoming stint on Taylor Swift’s North American 1989 world tour,

What would have happened if a young Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young had serendipitously met the young Joni Mitchell and they all got in the studio together? The result might be something along the lines of the recently-released “Woodstock” EP by singer-songwriter Heather Maloney and indie-folk four-piece Darlingside. Both groups hailing from the Northampton, Massachussets. music scene, it was while both artists were touring last November– Heather out as a solo singer-songwriter and Darlingside having dropped their drummer and rock’n’roll sound–that the five began to feel a new magic, playing unplugged and singing around a microphone on each other’s songs. She mentioned that they could have fun recording the CSNY version of Joni’s “Woodstock” and, through the power of that suggestion, the five entered the studio and the Woodstock EP was born.
SHAKEY GRAVES – ” Where A Boy Once Stood “

Alejandro Rose-Garcia otherwise known as Shakey Graves took the stage for the E-Town series this last Saturday at his sold-out Show, it was hard to ignore the Americana artifices that the“Friday Night Lights” the actor had erected around himself.There was his stage name, Shakey Graves, meant to recall shambling bluesmen of the past, as did the fact that Graves played much of his set solo, with just his guitar and an old, beat-up guitar case for some percussion. He was a man out of time, or at least he very much wanted to be. But appearances aside, Graves proved that he had something new to offer the genre of jangly nu-folk.
Novo Amor said I’ve been wanting to get something new out before the end of the year… so here is a new song, which contains the sound of my heart pulsations and a real saxophone! To go with the song is a moving video by the great guys at Storm+Shelter. hope you guys like it! Im working on some more exciting developments,
