Patient Patient - The Free EP

It’s less and less often, but sometimes indie music grabs my attention. Bands that delivered power such as Okkervil River, Pela or less rated and already mentioned here The Easy Dream, Balthrop Alabama, Diacon-Panthers, Ravens & Chimes, and Clear Tigers are always a welcome addition to my main acoustic singer songwriter streamline.

Don’t ask me the reason I’ve landed my browser on Patient Patient virb’s page (*), but it was a great chance. Once again, I’ve found another opportunity to point you to a great free EP for your week-end. It’s free, but chances are, you’ll have to consider this offer along with the acquisition their first full-length album ‘Professionals and Convicts‘ released in 2007, and to tease you here’s the beautiful intro song from their first release.

Amber Rubarth - New Green Lines

Procrastination is a word of mine when dealing to write couple lines about an artist i’m really fond of. This default proves to be a guarantee : i’m only writing about artists I love - I mean not only a single song ! And this is the case with Amber Rubarth. So, I won’t postpone for a new year this short introduction. So using the copy/paste function is an helpful easy way ! Here we go :

After 3 years of sculpting wood as an apprentice at a little shop in Carson City, Amber Rubarth had a late-night conversation with her mentor who told her the most important thing he had learned in life was for a person to follow their number one passion.  Amber said something along the lines of “Thank you, I am quitting and doing music then,” and off she went, trading her chainsaw for a guitar and teaching herself to write songs.

And what a gift to the music ! I’ve bought earlier this year - better later than never -, her first full length Something New (2005) and I’m now enjoying for couple weeks her new songs joined under the name of ‘New Green Lines‘. Amber is playing a delicious mix of folk, soul and pop and the more I’m listening to her music, the better this special blending invaded me. If you’re looking for a surprising, astonishing, fresh new and brilliant music… experience her last album. I bet you’ll be quickly addicted ! As, the release of her new album has been an epic adventure  ( read the full story )… please once again, click the where to buy links  !

Evan Goodberry - The Middle of the World : Free album

I’m sorry for being so late posting about both this album released in 2004 and this news written on Evan’s myspace blog this last January. Better late than never ; if you’re already addicted by Mr Goodberry’s soft-folk, smooth voice, you will surely forgive me !

The Middle of the World - free download (full album)
My full-length record, The Middle of the World, is now available in ZIP format on my website. Recorded in December of 2004 with the help of Mike Odmark, Steve Mason, and Andy Hubbard.

As usual, when an album is so good from start to end, it deserves just your attentive pair of ears ! Here’s the intro song :
