Withered Hand has a new music video for the song Black Tambourine. The song is an excellent outtake from the latest Withered Hand album New Gods that came out early in the year on Fortuna POP! / Slumberland. That guy on the video definitely looks exactly like Dan Willson and a cat makes a cameo appearance. What’s not to love. This is Withered Hand and Black Tambourine.

I haven’t been the most dedicated follower, but I’ve had a soft spot in my heart for My Bubba since I found this Nordic duo a few years ago (I think they were called My Bubba and Mi back then). My is Swedish, Bubba is Icelandic and together they write delicate folk songs and sing them in beautiful harmony. They just released a new album Goes Abroader in late april, 2014 and there’s also couple of lovely music videos out there. You’ll find them below. I’m especially addicted to the first one called Island. Goes Abroader is now out on Fake Diamond Records.

How did I miss this completely? Nobody told me that The Hotel Alexis released a new album last year. I just found out 10 minutes ago. I know what I will be listening to for the next few days. I really loved The Hotel Alexis years ago and truly adored the first two albums. If I’m not mistaken, The debut album The Shining Example Is Lying On The Floor got the full five hearts here at onechord.net back then in 2004 or 2005. I was revisiting that album today and saw the news that a new album Raised On Fire came out in 2013. I haven’t listened to the full-length yet, but based on this video song Gold Tonight, Sidney Lindner is still able to create wonderful music.
Some fantastic news. Six Shooter Recordings will release the new NQ Arbuckle album in 2014. I’ve been waiting this one for ages. I became a huge fan when last album XOK came out in 2008. I really loved it and bought the whole back catalogue. The debut Hanging the Battle-Scarred Pinata might be only good, but XOK and Last Supper in a Cheap Town are wonderful albums. And the stuff that Neville Quinlan sang on that collaboration album with Carolyn Mark. Just brilliant. I still play Neville Quinlan song almost every time I’m a dj. Monstrously highly recommended stuff for everyone who is even a little bit into things like alt.country. The new album The Future Happens Anyway will came out later in 2014, but Six Shooter Recordings just posted this lyric video of the song Hospitals from the forthcoming album.
