Rocky Votolato, cantor/compositor norte-americano nascido no Texas mas, baseado em Seattle. Desde 1999, Rocky vem lançando seus álbuns e agora é a vez de True Devotion, que está saindo do forno via Barsuk Records, que está liberando o primeiro single do disco, “Red River”.
Rocky has partnered with a new Seattle-based organization called One Days Wages, which is dedicated to the cause of fighting global poverty — 10% of all Rocky's royalties from sales of true devotion will be donated directly to One Day's Wages.
Seattle musician Rocky Votolato is a soft-spoken, very kind, very hard-working father of two, born in rural Texas and raised in the Pacific Northwest indie scene (where he fronted the acclaimed rock band Waxwing). In his decade-plus life as a songwriter and musician he has sought to articulate something essential about life, writing songs that seem to have been scratched into a boxcar wall by a worn-out and lonesome ghost. His gravelly, sandpaper smooth voice and introspective lyrics mark him as that most rare of punk-rocker-turned-acoustic-troubadours: Votolato writes graceful, understated, human, unpretentious songs, demonstrating that simplicity is still a viable option for accomplished songwriters. Walking the line between autobiographical fact and fiction, his new album, true devotion, is deceptively simple, peppering impressionistic narratives with moments of lyrical wisdom that can knock the wind out of you.

Wolf People, banda de Londres, UK, formada por Jack Sharp (guitar, vocal), Joe Hollick (guitar), Tom Watt (drums) e Daniel Davies (bass), que passeia entre o classic rock britânico com boas doses de blues, folk, progressivo etc. O quarteto lança seu álbum de estréia, Tidings, via Jagjaguwar, que libera a primeira jóia do disco, “October Fires”, uma belezura.
Tidings is the first dark and frenzied offering from London's Wolf People -- an alchemistic compendium of English classic rock that has been doused in wine, its pages left red-stained, blurred and melded in the most interesting ways.
The quartet -- and first UK rock band to join the Jagjaguwar inner circle -- is eager to stress that Tidings is not a proper album per se. Collected from recordings made by Jack Sharp in Bedford, England between 2005 and 2007 (and mostly before the band as it exists now was formed), Tidings is wild with tape hiss, feedback and background noise -- a fecund broth of sounds competing for the listener's attention.
Stitched together in a style reminiscent of Faust or early Mothers Of Invention, the songs lay nestled in snatches of field recordings, winding tapes, squealing feedback, studio outtakes and the voices of dead relatives. The tunes themselves are full of hissing guitars, distorted blues harmonica, acid rock, mystical flutes and crackling tape, often based on updated versions of classic blues structures and half-remembered English folk songs.
These recordings form the prehistory of a band that have recently garnered a reputation for blistering live performances around the UK: Wolf People have supported Dinosaur Jr, Tinariwen, Witchcraft, Sleepy Sun, Malcolm Mooney and Voice Of The Seven Woods among others.
Their sound has evolved to include the diverse influences and musicianship of Jack's three colleagues and, as such,Tidings serves as an index of possibilities.

O coletivo canadense The New Pornographers está de volta, para felicidade geral, com um novo álbum, seu quinto, intitulado Together, com previsão para maio próximo. Como sempre, o álbum traz o imenso talento de AC Newman, Dan Bejar, Kathryn Calder, Neko Case, John Collins, Kurt Dahle, Todd Fancey e Blaine Thurier. Foi produzido por Phil Palazzolo com a banda e gravado em vários estúdios, em Vancouver, no Brooklyn e Woodstock, New York. A primeira jóia liberada é “Your Hands (Together)”.
Together is the 5th album by Canadian-US collective The New Pornographers, featuring Neko Case and Destroyer’s Dan Bejar, in addition to bandleader and chief songwriter A.C. Newman, who All Music Guide says “in a perfect world, would be our Elton, our McCartney”. Playing to all the New Pornographers strengths, Together combines the freewheeling, glammy spirit of their debut Mass Romanticwith the very personal, emotional songwriting of their most recent material. As a result, it’s an album that aims to please, as exciting for the New Pornographers obsessive as for casual new listeners.
Stunning ballads like “My Shepherd” and “Valkyrie In The Roller Disco” are among the most beautiful melodies Newman has ever written, and singles “Crash Years” and “Your Hands (Together)” rank among faves like “The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism” and “The Laws Have Changed”. Vocalist keyboardist Kathryn Calder’s voice has never integrated so well with Case’s, and Bejar’s three contributions are probably his catchiest and least disjointed. Newman says he’s always had a dream of finding the middle ground between Led Zeppelin and The 5th Dimension, which isn’t a bad way to describe Together’smix of decep- tively complex songwriting with pop hooks and arena-rock power. This is one of the great bands of the last decade at the top of their game.

Efterklang está lançando seu novo álbum, Magic Chairs, o terceiro da banda. Eles já haviam antecipado ainda em novembro/2009, o primeiro single do disco, a canção Modern Drift, que abre Magic Chairs.
"Nós estamos muito orgulhosos deste disco e sinto que ele apresenta um novo som para o Efterklang. As músicas foram inspiradas em estruturas da música pop, criado e gravado ao vivo com uma abordagem que queríamos mostrar claramente cada fonte de som de modo que o ouvinte pude-se ouvir todos os ingredientes da música."
Dear Companion é uma colaboração entre três músicos de Kentucky, as canções foram escritas e executadas por Ben Sollee e Daniel Martin Moore, produzido por e com Yim Yames do My Morning Jacket e Monsters of Folk. Gravado no primeiro semestre de 2009, em seu estado natal, Dear Companion explora seus laços com o lugar que eles amam e tem como objetivo chamar a atenção para o problema da mineração de carvão Mountaintop Removal (MTR) e seu impacto sobre as pessoas e o património de Appalachia central. Uma parcela dos rendimentos de Dear Companion beneficiará a Appalachian Voices, uma organização dedicada a combater a MTR e encontrar um melhor caminho a seguir. Foram disponibilizadas gratuitamente as belas “Something, Somewhere, Sometime” e “Dear Companion”, que intitula o álbum.
Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore Dear Companion Released: February 16, 2010
Dear Companion is a collaboration between three Kentucky musicians; the songs were written and performed by Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore, produced by and featuring Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk. Recorded in the first half of 2009 in their home state, Dear Companion explores their ties to the place they love and aims to draw attention to the problem of Mountaintop Removal coal mining (MTR) and its impact on the people and heritage of central Appalachia. A portion of the proceeds from Dear Companion will benefit Appalachian Voices, an organization devoted to ending MTR and finding a better way forward. Ben and Daniel will tour together around the record’s release–dates are still TBD, but will be posted here when they’re available: Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore tour dates. Daniel’s debut album, Stray Age, produced by Joe Chiccarelli, came out in October 2008 on Sub Pop. Ben’s debut album, Learning to Bend, was released in June of 2008 on sonaBlast!
‘The Brutalist Bricks’ — available on LP, CD and via all popular digital storefronts March 9, 2010 — is one of those career-defining, “can you believe what you’re hearing?” kinda records that makes most other activity the day you first play it nearly impossible (in other words, we’re suggesting you shower before you open the package). Recorded through 2009 at Brooklyn’s Seaside Lounge, ‘Bricks’ could be the most confident, kinetic and varied work in Ted’s canon, and considering his body of work until now, that’s no easy claim to make. If you’ve seen Ted/Rx at any point in the past year, you’ve probably heard a few of the songs before, but the final studio versions pack a considerable punch.
O Times New Viking, trio formado por Adam, Beth e Jared, está liberando, gratuitamente, a terceira música de seu mais recente álbum, Born Again Revisited, lançado no ano passado, trata-se da faixa que celebra e lembra que o dia de hoje não pode ser esquecido, “2/11 Don’t Forget”, as canções liberadas antes são “Move To California” e “No Time, No Hope”.
TIMES NEW VIKING are not a font but rather an audaciously talented trio from Columbus OH. Known for shrouding their three-cornered pop constructions in clouds of tape hiss and buzzing noise, they have taken inspirations from sources as diverse as British art-school DIY of the late 1970s, Guided By Voices, Pavement and the Beatles. After two albums for Philly indie Siltbreeze, they signed to Matador and released their third album, 2008’s Rip It Off.
On Born Again Revisitedthey told us they’d improved the recording quality by 25% and they have achieved exactly that. Whereas the master for the last album was a cassette, this time it was a VHS.
Far more layered and varied, the album is a slow build, from the rousing “No Time, No Hope” to the anthemic, Yo La Tengo-influenced “Move To California.” Through it all their raucous sense of joy shines through unencumbered.
Yeasayer é um trio do Brooklin, NY, formado por Anand Wilder, Chris Keating e Ira Wolf Tuton. O som transita entre experimental rock, psychedelic pop e worldbeat, quase sempre com batidas dançantes. Eles estão lançando seu novo e segundo álbum, ODD BLOOD (capa acima), via Secretly Canadian. Eles já haviam liberado o primeiro single, “Ambling Alp”, em novembro passado, agora é a vez de “O.N.E.”, segundo single do disco.
Phantogram é um duo de Greenwich, New York, USA, formado por Josh Carter (guitar) e Sarah Barthel (keys), que praticam o que podemos chamar de electronic rock com elementos de indie pop, street beat, psyche pop, trip-hop etc. A dupla está lançando, depois de dois singles e dois EPs, seu álbum de estréia, Eyelid Movies, via Barsuk Records, que liberou o primeiro single do disco, “When I'm Small”, estonteante.
Phantogram Eyelid Movies Releasead: February 9, 2010
Phantogram's music sounds like it's made by a band from the city. Electronic loops, hip-hop beats, shoegaze, soul, pop — each finds its way into their songs. Unexpectedly, the band doesn't live and work in a major urban center, but rather calls the town of Saratoga Springs, NY (population 26,186) home. Despite the cultural influence of local Skidmore College (where fellow beat-experimenters Ratatat formed) and a relatively small scene of adventurous musicians and listeners, Saratoga isn't exactly teeming with fans of J. Dilla, My Bloody Valentine or Serge Gainsbourg. But Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel, the duo that make up Phantogram, have flourished in Saratoga. In fact, the town itself isn't rural enough for their taste — they drive almost every day another 45 minutes into upstate farmland to a barn they call Harmony Lodge to write and record. Serving as their homemade studio/practice space/think-tank/bat-cave, the barn is equipped with various samplers, tapes, records, synths, drums, and both percussive and stringed instruments, and it's there that Phantogram allows their natural surroundings and metropolitan influences to meld together creating beautiful, beat-driven dreamlike pop songs.

Castanets é o projeto musical de Raymond Raposa, de San Diego, CA e atualmente residente em Portland, OR. Sua música passeia pelo que podemos chamar de psychedelic folk com algumas doses de alternative country. Ele já lançou meia-dúzia de álbuns, o mais recente em novembro de 2009, Texas Rose, The Thaw, and The Beasts, quase todos pelo selo Asthmatic Kitty.
Half-handed Cloud foi criada como uma banda-de-um-homem-só, John Ringhofer, de Berkeley, Califórnia. O som não é nada convencional, uma mistura de indie pop com tudo o que você puder imaginar mas, sempre dentro de uma zona confortável de bom gosto, mesmo soando esquisito e sempre soando muito bem.
A Chorus of Storytellers was recorded by Ryan Hadlock in the frosty month of February 2009 at Bear Creek Studio just outside of Seattle. It was mixed in the decidedly warmer month of June in Reykjavik, Iceland by Birgir Jon Birgisson. Those paying attention will notice that this is nearly the same way their last album Into the Blue Again was recorded. There is, however, one fundamental difference between this and every other album The Album Leaf has ever recorded. For the first time in five albums, The Album Leaf recorded as a whole band. In the past, almost every instrument was performed by principal songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle. This time the whole band was invited to participate and the result is their best record yet.

Bassekou Kouyate, maestro do Mali, é um virtuoso e visionário músico cujo trabalho beira a linha entre o Oeste Africano e as raízes da música americana. O instrumento usado por Bassekou é o ngoni, uma espécie de alaúde e um ancestral do banjo, partilhando a sua pele esticada do corpo-tambor com ataque percussivo e variadas técnicas de palhetadas e dedilhadas. Na banda, não um, mas quatro ngonis, todos tocados pelos membros de sua família. O maestro está lançando o álbum I Speak Fula via Sub Pop que está liberando a faixa “Musow”, uma boa amostra do disco.
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba I Speak Fula Released: 2010-02-02
Malian maestro Bassekou Kouyate is a virtuoso picker and musical visionary whose work blurs the lines between West African and American roots music. Bassekou’s instrument, the ngoni, is a “spike lute” and an ancestor of the banjo, sharing its taut-skinned drum body, percussive attack, and varied picking techniques. Since 2005, Bassekou has led Ngoni Ba, the first-ever group built around not one but four ngonis—-all played by members of his family.
Bassekou’s longtime friend and booster Lucy Duran (a BBC radio host, record producer, and Mande music scholar) produced the band’s debut, Segu Blue. Before long, Bassekou and Ngoni Ba were touring Europe and in high demand. I Speak Fula builds on the success of Segu Blue. Its 11 tracks provide a star-studded tour of pan-Malian music, including collaborations with Toumani Diabaté, griot vocal legend Kasse Mady Diabaté, master of the horse-hair soku fiddle Zoumana Tereta, and guitar phenomenon Vieux Farka Toure, Ali’s precociously talented son. The release of I Speak Fula and Ngoni Ba’s first U.S. tour mark the latest leg of an extraordinary musical journey.
I Speak Fula is the first release on Next Ambiance, a new label founded by Jon Kertzer host of KEXP’s Best Ambiance Radio show and Sub Pop co-founder Jon Poneman, and the newest addition to the Sub Pop family. Next Ambiance continues the musical exploration of Best Ambiance, with an emphasis on mind-blowing and life-changing artists with no particular regional or cultural bias.
“Contender for African album of the year.” (5 stars) Uncut “This is a cracker.” (4 stars) Mojo “Spectacular.” BBC online “Truly irresistible.” Music Week “Fizzes with energy.” (4 stars) Observer Music Monthly “There’s unlikely to be a better African album this year.” (5 stars) Evening Standard “Ferociously powerful album … Superb.” The Independent (Album of the Week) “Soon the world will speak Fula.” Metro

BIO:
David Stith comes from a musical family: his father is a college wind ensemble director and former church choir director; his grandfather is professor emeritus in the music department at Cornell University; his mother is a pianist; his sisters sing opera, play piano, tap dance, play timpani and are excellent soft ball players. David Stith grew up dreading the family ensemble's appearances in church, preferring instead to draw mazes on the blank sides of church bulletins during services. In fifth grade, a harrowing performance of Phantom of the Opera at a school assembly (accompanied by his mother on piano) nearly turned him off to music for good. He started a noise band in high school, called Starchild (or Starchildren, or The Pool --they never did quite decide); but they preferred painting their guitars over playing them. David wrote a lot of bad poetry during this time.
In college, David attempted writing a novel and a children's book, illustrating his work with original woodcut prints. His pursuit of writing and illustration brought him from Rochester to Brooklyn, where he took up work as a graphic designer. While in Brooklyn, David befriended Shara Worden (of My Brightest Diamond), and soon after began facilitating, in small technical ways, the recording of her album Bring Me The Workhorse. This, in turn, spurred David to begin writing and recording songs of his own. It was a casual, private affair. He spent countless days stored away in his bedroom, sketching folk songs with epic electronic gestures, a rekindling of passions for his first familial love: music.
David completed his first catalog of songs for an album called Ichabod and Apple, written and recorded in the first month of his song-writing experiments. His first full length album is Heavy Ghost, on Asthmatic Kitty Records.
It was no grand injunction that encouraged David to return to music. He writes songs for the same reasons he enjoys a good conversation: it's just natural. His songs come out of a knock-about life, pressed by the urge to overcome insecurities, to probe questions, to revisit dreams and visions.
