It’s a war that’s always fought and never won.

As I find myself waking up in my childhood home south of the Mason Dixon line, it seems rather fitting of a day to listen to one of my favorite folk acts, Horse Feathers.

I love the traditional instruments and most of all, that unique and sorrowful voice from singer Justin Ringle. And once joined by the rest of the group to create larger, more lush harmonies, you’re almost stopped dead in your tracks.

Grab one of my favorite songs from their 2010 release, Thistled Spring, and then listen to their latest single from their upcoming album, Cynic’s New Year, which drops tomorrow.

They won’t last a minute.

This is what I needed. I really love Heyward Howkins’ intonation, using his own voice as an instrument among his folky melodies.

After spending time among various artists in the Philadelphia music scene (even nationwide success with his previous band), Howkins will be emerging solo this year with a debut album titled, The Hale & Hearty, set to be released June 26th.

Check out his bandcamp page where Howkins has a few of the tracks up streaming, my favorite so far is “Spanish Moss.” His strong voice carries the song yet the addition of female accompaniment is almost too perfect.

And watch his official video for, “Sugar Sand Stitched Lip.”

We all know smoke rises and ashes fall.

It’s amazing what a change in scenery does for you. Just being able to see patches of grass that expand larger than a city lot, sprawling shopping centers, and being able to run around the lake my neighborhood sits on top of; it’s oddly been nice.

So, here’s your curve ball. I’ve been on an electronic/hip-hop kick lately and it’s time to break that love fest up. Here’s some heavy alt-country guitar riffs, wailing vocals, and enough lo-fi in those monitors to stir up your day (and playlists).

Sunday Listening: In Our Bones – The Farewell Circuit

Unfortunately I’m pretty late on posting about this fantastic album but, that doesn’t mean it still isn’t worth a share.

These gentleman aren’t strangers on the blog, or in my iTunes library for that matter. They’re constantly making their way on many playlists of mine. I love The Farewell Circuit’s no frills type of indie-rock, what you hear is what you get and thankfully for us, it’s really god damn good.

Finding itself closer towards the conclusion of In Our Bones, my favorite track “Run For The Hills,” hits me hard with the opening guitar line. “Here today and gone tomorrow,” paints the lyrical picture while we’re lulled in slowly with minimal percussion. The track bursts at the seams and rips wide open after the two-minute mark. I could just listen on repeat.

Listen to In Our Bones and fall in love with these Minnesotans.

Meet: J. Irvín Dally

There’s something timeless about American folk-rock.

J. Irvín Dally has spanned the country, hailing from the midwest to finally landing in Los Angeles, he’s made many stops in between. Much of his acoustic charm has to do with his lo-fi analog sound, warm and strumming chords, and the depth that seems to be endless in his wordplay.

Coming off of an impressive slew of SXSW shows, I suggest staying on top of this singer-songwriter.

It’s a curse I put you through.

Former Belle just released a new song from their upcoming album, Cathedral, which is fantastic and heartbreaking all in one. “Better Off” leads with lines such as,”there’s something going wrong, it’s only in my head.”  The lyrics are conflicting and raw, you can really feel the internal struggle.

Who knew how evocative one could be with brushed percussion, a soft bass line, and crooning vocals?

If you’re around the city this Thursday be sure to catch the guys at World Cafe Live, where they’ll be opening for Peasant.

31 days.

We have reached the home stretch of the countdown ’til Coachella, there’s an end in sight finally. A month or so to go and then I’ll be immersed in the California desert. Sleeping some cold nights and sweating out equally scorching afternoons all whilst being completely surrounded by music, it’s what I’d like to call a perfect vacation (well..for the time being).

Dawes is an indie-rock band hailing from Malibu that create music soaked with 70′s blue-collar charm and singalongs full of tambourine percussion. I admit, it took me quite awhile to give their latest release, Nothing is Wrong, a full and proper listen but now I understand their sound. No longer lost, I believe these guys could be a fantastic early evening set that I want to listen to sprawled in the cool grass.

After their time in Indio, the band will be making stops all over the United States. Listener-friendly in all of the right ways, right-click the tracks below.

Sunday Listening: Little Mountain – Said The Whale

I should have known these guys were Canadians, I have been loving on them too hard.

Fluttering along my radar, I was finally able to grab a copy of Said The Whale’s recently released album, Little Mountain.

Hook heavy is a pretty condensed explanation for this power-pop five piece. What I’m impressed with most is their mood control, effortlessly switching emotions with breakdowns and variations each track. It’s all just so tightly packaged and natural, I’m really into it. They’re slightly on the tails of The Head and the Heart, but that’s a damn fine band to be made comparisons to.

Listen to Little Mountain below and also explore their YouTube channel, the group is making a video all for 15 tracks on the album.

Those highway eyes of yours.

Usually I can peg an international artist when I hear one, especially one that comes from the Nordic region.

But, Finland’s Swaying Wires sounds a bit like many things wrapped in one. Sometimes I hear a little Jenny Lewis back in the early Rilo Kiley years, or something similar to Land of Talk with the thrashing guitars and light female vocals, maybe even some Eisley thrown in there.

I like humble bands and Swaying Wires is just that. A modest one-woman act from the beginning that took its time expanding into a now four-piece show. Introverted and reflective, listeners who yearn for meaningful music won’t be lost. For more information on the group check their facebook page, they have plans to record their debut album this summer.

Enjoy.

Heartbreak is my roommate.

Off of last year’s Mysterious Powers album, “Don’t Turn Your Back On Love,” is a fantastic example of simple American folk-rock. A story told of a past love, full of anecdotes and charming twang.

“I don’t know how it happened but here we are on the dance floor together.”

Something about Furman’s voice just makes me swoon and feel warm inside. It’s like those first moments of Spring when your body recognizes the beautiful weather and rising temperatures, the loss of chills and necessity for multiple layers. Wonderfully acoustic, right-click and enjoy.
