Robin Pahlman has featured here several times as a half of the country duo Carmen & The Devil. The other half is his wife Heli Pahlman and together they create beautiful old-fashioned country songs. Nowadays Robin & Heli are exploring the Austrian country & folk scene and Robin is also working on his upcoming solo debut in his home studio in Vienna. A few of his demos recently surfaced and it proves that the solo material is equally amazing. I can only hope that he finds a label that will release the solo debut, because this stuff is just too damn brilliant and captivating to be left unreleased. This one below is Miss Lonelyhearts. Hit that soundcloud link to find the songs Waves and Man Overboard, which are just as great.

The new Matti Jasu and The Loose Train album I mentioned a couple weeks back is now out and available. It’s entitled Samurai vs. the Computer, it is wonderful and the obvious new choice for that album of the month slot in the right. It’s only available digitally at the moment, but you can pre-order the CD from the bandcamp page and you’ll get the download now and the CD when it will be released in mid-august. This one below is You Should Know By Now. You can stream the whole thing at bandcamp.
