Video of the Day #57: Delay Trees

No Comments
Delay Trees and their high quality dreamy pop music has gotten a criminally little amount of love on this little blog. It is a really good band and one of the finest newcomers to the Finnish pop scene. Their self-titled debut album will be released in the US by Friendly Fire Recordings next month and Teemu Erämaa directed this beautiful video for one of the finest tracks of that album, About Brothers.

Video of the Day #56: Dean Fields

1 Comment

Josh Rouse was one of my favourite artists 6-7 years ago and his albums 1972 and Nashville are classics. I haven’t been that impressed with Josh’s latest albums, but here comes an artist that reminds me of the days when Josh Rouse ruled the world. Dean Fields is his name, he comes from Richmond, Virginia and has just released his new EP Under A Searchlight Moon. Forever Never Knowing is an outtake from the new EP. A perfect blend of pop, folk and americana. The whole EP is brilliant and a welcome reminder that it is worth it to go through all those promo emails my amateurish blog gets. Most of them contain music that I don’t find that interesting, but sometimes you might find real treasures like Dean Fields.

Video of the Day #55: Stephen Ambrose

Ok, I’m going with a song of the day once again and this one is also an old treasure. Thanks to Fading Yellow guru Jörgen for this one. He posted this on his facebook feed and I instantly fell in love with this song. Previously I had never heard of Stephen Ambrose and what a big loss that turned out to be. This song called Friend is the opening track of Stephen Ambrose’s album Gypsy Moth that came out in 1972. Some reissue label should pick it up and introduce it to the world, because it seems like this is a stunning folk album and a real lost gem.

Austin Lucas’ new album A New Home In The Old World came out last week and it is absolutely wonderful. Hopefully I will find the time to review it within a couple of weeks, because I really love the album. The album was also released in Finland by Combat Rock Industry and Austin Lucas will play a concert at Bar Loose, Helsinki on the 14th of may. This is the first single Thunder Rail from the new album.
