I’ve googled the web for two days trying to find an album, an ep, a single single but I’m empty-handed ! Well, half-empty as I found Kelli Schaefer myspace page which is streaming 4 sublime (awesome, huge, magnifiques, absolutely **** stars) tracks from this beautiful Portland songwriter. That’s it !
You’re just one step away from “Eyes In The Back Of My Head” another stunning song and i’m without word to qualify “Carry us Over” !
Is it the photograph or am I really upside down ? Is this the music or am I really “addicted” (shhhh ).
Count on me for tracking any movement on the web concerning Kelli !
Another great artist, I ‘ve almost kept for myself all this summer long is Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel.
Combining the endearing swagger of Jacques Brel, the moody mysticism of Leonard Cohen and the pastoral plucking of Nick Drake, Rateliff’s potent songs and rich voice grabbed the audience by the heart and the throat.
Any other arguments ? Well, Nick Drake, Nick Drake… Anyway, I completely agree with the Jacques Brel’s parallel, and I guess most of our fellow Belgian readers will, as soon as they click the play button on this below youtube video !
I’ve been totally bewitched by this awesome song and performance… and I guess a minute after I was downloaded The Wheel first and single full length “Desire and Dissolving Men” released in 2007…
And for a mere 7 $, it’s one of the best album i’ve bought this year.
Nathaniel Rateliff is on tour this september, so check his website and myspace page ! If none of his dates is close to you. Thanks in advance Daytrotter.com as The Wheel will record a session, tomorrow (Sept. 14) !!!
A.S : Yes, I’m alive ! But as the sun is still warming our days, many stuff to deal with outside instead of blogging. But i’m going to try to post some short notes at least some good tweets for your ears to enjoy !
Back in the early days of last May, I’ve discovered Kele Goodwin’s music. I’ve grabbed some of his tracks from his unique myspace web presence and since, I cannot stop listen to his beautiful crafted folk songs. And the least I can do is to share one of it with you.
Kele Goodwin self-released in 2007 “The Spider”, a five track ep which is no longer available. According to a short mail exchange, Kele is planning to release a first full length in the coming months. Sure we’ll be back soon on this so underrated Portland poetic songwriter.
See you next fall !
A Kiss for your ears,
Olivier.

Between hays, woods, training dogs and sheep (!!), few time left for this sharing activity… So it will be really concise and short : I’m looping for couple weeks a bewitching ritornello from Goldfinch … it’s a two tracks medley entitled ‘Hoedown / Pretend Kiss’ and it’s closing their first eponymous album released sooner this April. Check their myspace or facebook page, and if like me you’re falling under their addiction, jump cdbaby.com website and buy a copy of Goldfinch
Waterfall is another stunning song from Fraser Anderson, beautifully delivered this last summer when supporting Chuck Berry at Sète. Along with Rag and Bones, Photograph Too Hi and Grace, these five tracks preview are already placing his forthcoming third full length album, planned to be release this Autumn, amongst my 2009 favorite.
If like me you’re undergoing a springtime which is not sunny enough to fully charge your battery then you may really be in need of a huge dose of astounding rock… Fully drummed to help you survive this middle tone, middle salty season . On my quest to find some music matching this mood I came across only two albums. According to my full calendar, the second is pretty new, and it’s the perfect great reason to have a start on this devilish mood…
