Jacco Gardner – Cabinet of Curiosities

Oh my. I’m just listening to the new Jacco Gardner album on soundcloud for the first time and I’m pretty stunned. Jacco Gardner from the Netherlands is making wonderful baroque pop, psych pop and the Cabinet of Curiosities is out on Trouble In Mind and Excelsior Recordings on february 11th. The debut single was a video of the day a year ago, so I knew Jacco was great and going places, but still I didn’t expect his debut to be so mindblowingly awesome as Cabinet Of Curiosities seems to be. Ok, it’s still early days, I haven’t even listened the whole thing yet, but I just love everything I hear so much that I already had to start spreading the word. This one below is Summer’s Game. You can stream the whole beautiful album at soundcloud and Spotify.

Huck Notari – Kickstarter for third album!

Breaking News! Huck Notari is finally about to make a third album and he needs our help!

I’m a huge fan and I love his music. Therefore every now and then, I check out has there been any new devolopments. Now there is and Huck Notari has just started a kickstarter to fund his upcoming third album. Huck might still be criminally unknown, but he is a major talent and the first two albums are both wonderful. Watch the video of Wall Around Your Heart from his 2009 album Very Long Dream, if you don’t take my word for it. I know I’ve posted it before, but I could post this every day and it would still be relevant and hold its charm. I rarely post about kickstarter projects (even though I like them), but this is so important that I want to do my small part in spreading the word.

Janne Laurila & Tuhlaajapojat

The big news of the week was that Lumpeela julkaisut released the long-waited new Janne Laurila & Tuhlaajapojat album on wednesday 30th of january. Janne Laurila is definitely one of my favourite vocalists in the country/world and it’s great to hear that voice on a full-length album once again. The songwriting is mighty good as well and the band knows how to stylishly inject these beautiful songs into your veins. Album release tour is already going on and you shouldn’t miss their live concert if you live within reasonable distance. Sami Sänpäkkilä directed music video for the song Salainen Haave and you can watch that beautiful thing below.

Flavour of the Month 1.2.2013: Matti Jasu & The Loose Train, Koria Kitten Riot

A new month and a new Flavour Of The Month just around the corner. Matti Jasu & The Loose Train and Koria Kitten Riot will share the stage at Pikku-Torre, Turku on friday night. See you there. More in the Finnish press release below.

FLAVOUR OF THE MONTHIN KEVÄT STARTTAA

Turkulainen nykyaikaisen kitaramusiikin liveklubi Flavour Of The Month palaa pienen talvitauon jälkeen asiaan ja tarjoilee kevään aikana kolme perjantai-iltaa kotipesässään Pikku-Torressa. Kevätkauden ensimmäisen session esiintyjät perjantaina 1.2. ovat Matti Jasu and the Loose Train sekä Koria Kitten Riot, jotka molemmat valmistelevat myöhemmin tänä vuonna julkaistavia uusia albumeja.

Turkulaisesta Goodnight Monsters-yhtyeestä soolouralle karannut Matti Jasu irrottelee The Loose Train-bändinsä kanssa parhaimmillaan lähes Neil Young-hengessä. Jasun tyylilliset linjaukset ovat irtautuneet yhä pidemmälle indiestä ja kotikutoisuudesta – ilmassa on pikemminkin silkkaa classic rockia ja vapaapudotusta.

Koria Kitten Riot puolestaan tunnelmoi viimevuotisella The Lows & The Highs-albumillaan jossakin modernin indie-americanan, singer-songwriter-musiikin ja emopunkin välimaastoissa. Kuulokuvassa harhailevat Bright Eyesin Conor Oberst, Elliott Smith ja vaikkapa The Shins. Uutta albumia joudutaan vielä odottelemaan hetki, mutta kenties maistiaisia on tiedossa Flavour Of The Monthissa?
