Treehouse – Top to Bottom

No Comments

Treehouse will release their debut album Top to Bottom later this year and based on the samples I’ve heard so far, it’s going to be a country-tinged pop treasure. I can’t wait to hear it. This is so my kind of stuff. Rich harmonies, beautiful melodies, pedal steel…

Recently Treehouse gave us a video for the title song Top to Bottom and another new song entitled Summer Starts in June. Check out these amazing songs below.

Jay Gonzalez – Mess of Happiness

No Comments

Drive-By Truckers keyboardist Jay Gonzalez has released a pretty damn good solo album. His own material differs quite a lot from Drive-By Truckers, because Mess of Happiness is actually a great AM-infused power pop album. That suits me fine and I really like the album. There’s lots of colourful arrangements, cool 70s vibe and most importantly, plenty of awesome pop songs. Occasionally Jay is balancing on a thin line, but he does have the taste and talent to make the most out of AM Gold influences without stepping into uncomfortable territory. Mess of Happiness is a whole lot of fun and isn’t that what pop music is supposed to be. This is one below is one of my early favourites, a song entitled Baby Tusk. You can stream the whole album at bandcamp.

Bahamas – Barchords

No Comments

.

The man behind Bahamas is a Finnish-Canadian singer-songwriter Afie Jurvanen from Toronto and recently he released his second album Barchords. I’ve been listening to it a lot lately, because it’s such a great record. Even better than the debut. It feels like Bahamas has grown without losing that down-to-earth charm. Small is still beautiful and oh how I adore songs like Time and Time Again. Hopefully Mr. Jurvanen from Canada will one day play a concert in Finland.
