Black Twig – Paper Trees

I’m finally noticing that it’s 2012 already and I better start recommending some new stuff. Soliti released Black Twig’s debut album Paper Trees last week and pretty much every blog has already mentioned that it is excellent. I still want to join the party, because it definitely is an excellent album. The standout tracks are the first outtakes Lake Song and Death Scene, but the whole thing is truly enjoyable. Beautifully distorted fuzzy pop album with noisy and/or hypnotic songs. This is Lake Song.

Flavour of the Month: Jerry Lindqvist & The Grace, Koria Kitten Riot

Another wonderful Flavour of The Month coming up on next thursday, 5th of january. Jerry Lindqvist & The Grace and Koria Kitten Riot share the stage. More information below.

FLAVOUR OF THE MONTHIN LOPPIAISAATON KATTAUS

Vuoden 2012 ensimmäistä Flavour of the Month-klubia vietetään Turun Pikku-Torressa poikkeuksellisesti torstai-iltana 5.1. Loppiaisaaton esiintyjinä ovat Jerry Lindqvist & The Grace sekä Koria Kitten Riot.

Vaasalaislähtöinen Jerry Lindqvist on tarponut Suomessa niin usein kovin upottavaa countryrock-suota jo vuosia, ensin The Outlaws-kokoonpanon ja sittemmin The Grace-taustayhtyeensä kanssa. Jälkimmäisen albumi Rivertown on päättyvän vuoden satoa ja vienyt Jerryn aina New Yorkiin asti ja kuuleman mukaan levy on saanut mukavasti radiosoittoa ja muutakin arvostusta, jos ei niin kovasti Suomessa, niin ainakin muualla. Turkulaistunut Jerry on tehnyt musiikkia myös muille artisteille ja lähdössä maaliskuussa keikalle Kanadan Torontoon. Sitä ennen kuitenkin visiitti Flavour of the Monthissa.

Tämän vuoden levysatoa on myös Koria Kitten Riotin The Lows & The Highs. Johnny Superhero-yhtyeen Antti Reikon sooloprojektina alkanut yhtye on laajentunut kvintetiksi, julkaissut jo toisen täyspitkänsä ja lähdössä keväällä kiertueelle saksankieliseen Eurooppaan sikäläisen levyjulkaisunsa tueksi. Joten jälleen: sitä ennen visiitti Flavour of the Monthissa!

The Milk Carton Kids (stunning albums for free!)

First. Big thank you to Norwegian No Deal Music for introducing this to me. I found the The Milk Carton Kids from No Deal Music’s year-end list a few days before finishing mine. I liked them so much I was on the verge of putting the album to my list as well (and on a fairly high place as well). In the end, I decided not to, because I wasn’t sure is it my year end list, if I include a record that I just found from another blog a minute ago and have not even heard about beforehand. However, this is so fantastic stuff, that I need to make this small post to tell you that I love The Milk Carton Kids. Two guys (Kenneth Pattengale & Joey Ryan) playing guitars and singing their hearts out. Folk songs with lovely harmonies. Simple formula, but works perfectly. You can download their two albums for free on their website!
