Trappers Cabin – shows and new songs

Published by Olivier on May 21, 2010 in Acoustic, Experimental / Psychedelic, Rock and Singer Songwriter. 0 Comments

Ante Scriptum : I’m currently deleting all audio files posted on this site before 2009. It’s seems that our little place on the web is consuming to much bandwidth… Jumping from a post to another, it’s always tempting to visit every artist website and check what’s new ! This is the reason that land me on Trappers Cabin brand new website.

“- Hey What Time is it ?”
“- Shhhh I can’t hear the radio ”
“- In the deep dark woods of the North Georgia Mountains there’s only one man you’ve got to hear : Trappers Cabin !”

Not yet familiar to this jingle ? Connect this page and grab your first episode !
But if Trappers Cabin website is reduced to this single show counting 5 episodes so far,  there’s a brand new myspace page where four brand new tracks  (as far as I know) are published. Immerse yourself in this mix of 1970′s british psychedelic with tones of folk ! Awesome. Hope an album will be soon released !!!

The Brook Lee Catastrophe – American Hotel

Published by Olivier on May 6, 2010 in Alternative, Americana, Folk, Free Download and Rock. 0 Comments Tags: .

I know, I know, you can’t buy or grab any album i’m writing about. So if you’ve missed the last Brook Lee Catastrophe, here’s a new chance to discover this bright californian band ! They offer you for free and for a limited time their brand new album : American Hotel.
I’m just discovering this 11 tracks collection… And with no doubt – i’m listening to track 7 – I can tell you that the band keep digging their atypical explorations mixing an undefinable but addictive sound between rock, folk and americana. It’s brilliant, it’s simply gorgeous !
According to the band,  this new album is the first of a two companion-pieces set to released summer and fall 2010 (woot woot hooray ) !

If “American Hotel” is designed to keep the intensity burning all the way to last call, “Motel Americana” (Fall 2010) is the hair of the dog—the cold comfort of the morning after, the soundtrack of the battered and the bruised. Squarely rooted in the folk tradition, “Motel Americana” also incorporates textures of country, bluegrass, and gospel in service of a song cycle that is at once melancholy and celebratory, the perfect antidote to a cold and cynical world.

Voilà de quoi nous mettre l’eau à la bouche ! In the meantime, let me tease you with the first track, then go and grab your album and please tweet about it as loud as you can, facebook it, myspace it, well spread the word, this band is huge !

Ben Rogers – Criminals

For the regular readers of YCD, this name may ring you a bell but the picture. Yop, Ben Rogers is a new member in the bearded songwriter family. But far beyond this pilosity detail, Ben Rogers got 2 new tracks which both are on a heavy rotation in my itunes library : the really catchy ‘Criminals’ & the Dylan-like ‘Born to Move’. This guy is as discrete as talented ; I hope the canadian music blog squad could catch him live and grab some more information about an upcoming release… In the meantime enjoy the tunes…

Washington Mile – Simple Hearts

Published by Olivier on April 18, 2010 in Alternative, Folk, New Album Alert and Rock. 0 Comments

It’s an absolute cracker !

With no doubt, the best album, 2010 gifted me is ‘Simple Hearts’ the first full length from the young Seattle band Washington Mile.
Chris Wise & Torry Anderson are distillating all along these 12 tracks collection a mixture that merge the best of Rock’n Roll and Folk. Tons of stuff should been said about this album but as usual i’m running against time and to sum up I would say  their music is a big fresh breeze I was waiting for.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel – On Tour !

Published by Olivier on September 13, 2009 in Acoustic, Folk, Indie, On Tour, Rock, Singer Songwriter and video. 2 Comments

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel

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.

Dustin Welch

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…
