This entry is also a reminder to myself. I need to order the new The Red Button album asap. The debut album She’s About To Cross My Mind was a slice of 60′s influenced power pop heaven and the follow-up As Far As Yesterday Goes has been out for a while now. Based on the sound samples on The Red Button website, Seth Swirsky and …

I’ve already written about finnish blues/folk singer-songwriter Mirel Wagner a few times (review) and therefore I’ll keep things short this time around. This is the new video for the song entitled No Death and it is so utterly wonderful. The song is an outtake from her amazing self-titled debut album that was released in february, 2011.

The Left Banke: Walk Away Renee / Pretty Ballerina
Well actually this is the album of the month of february 1967, but Sundazed finally reissued it and they deserve one of those onechord.net’s imaginary culture awards for doing so.

Therefore it’s an amazing disgrace that I still haven’t reviewed their latest album The Double Cross. And I still don’t do much more than just say that the new album came out in may, it’s once again awesome and close to full amount of hearts. …

The latest release from my new favourite label, Yer Bird Records, is Pickering Pick’s wonderful new album Tiger Balm that came out on june 21st. Mr. Pickering Pick is able to write both heartbreaking and heartwarming songs and he has created a stunningly beautiful folk album that has the quality to go deeper than where any doctor could reach. The whole thing is a sweet …

Therefore I thought I will start writing small news bits about foreign releases as well. Because even though no-one else probably cares, it’s heartbreaking to me when I notice that I haven’t even written one word about some albums that I really love. …
