Still Corners Play “The Message”

Posted on by Rob Jones

Austin Texas’ Still Corners render this down-the-highway lament characterized by ghostly and haunted vocals packed with reverb and regret. This otherworldly and autumnal cut that is the soundtrack for impending winter and complete with Cat Power and Chris Isaak-like melancholy is taken from the band’s newest disc Slow Air.

Listen here.

As I type this, the band are on tour to support the record including an appearance at Vancouver’s Fox Cabaret on November 6 for all of you locals.

Happy Listening (and Happy Hallowe’en, too).

Jim Brown Sings “Richard”

Posted on by Rob Jones

A sepia-toned western tale full of plaintive and hushed vocals, thrumming acoustic guitar, and with murmuring electric guitar floating in the background like a comforting memory that’s tragically just out of reach. Singer-songwriter Jim Brown’s portrait of a badman who knows the end is near touches on Townes Van Zandt and Nebraska-mode Springsteen.

Listen here, pilgrims.

Brown’s new record is called The Devil on the Other Shoulder, out now.

Happy Listening!
