Ochre Room release a new single. Album to follow in october

Ochre Room is a folk rock, americana group from Tampere, Finland and their debut full-length Evening Coming In is due to be released by Lumpeela Julkaisut in the early stages of october. The first single and outtake from the forthcoming album is entitled My Summer and it is now available on iTunes. A music video will follow shortly, but that’s another story and another good reason for a blog post about this band that I find very special.

Greater Pacific – And You All Remain With Me

Yer Bird Records will release Greater Pacific’s debut album Incandescent on 4th of september, which means I will get back to this in a few weeks. I just have to make a quick post about this first outtake And You All Remain With Me, because one tweet is clearly not enough. This americana song only last 129 seconds, but I love each and every one of those seconds. The appetizer couldn’t be any better and I’m really hungry for more. The earlier EP was already really good, but this is something else and on a whole another level. Listen yourself below.

Denver – Denver

This blog is not really up-to-date at the moment, but let’s write one news bit straight away. The excellent Mama Bird Recording Co. (also responsible for releasing Barna Howard’s debut album which is one of my top 10 albums of the year so far) released Denver’s self-titled album today 14th of august. I’ve been looking forward to the album since Mama Bird released the excellent first outtake Way It Is a month or two ago. I’m just listening to the album for the first time on Spotify and it really does sound like magnificent country album and I think this beauty will be ready to enter the album of the month/year contest once I’ve spent some quality time with it. I think I have to get my hands on that vinyl at some point, even though settling for the digital version would be a cheaper option. Denver comes from Portland, Oregon and shares some members with the wonderful Blitzen Trapper. It might be a lot said, but I think I even prefer Denver. Not that it’s a competition. Here are the first two outtakes The Way It Is and Reno from the new album.

New songs from Robin Pahlman

Robin Pahlman has featured here several times as a half of the country duo Carmen & The Devil. The other half is his wife Heli Pahlman and together they create beautiful old-fashioned country songs. Nowadays Robin & Heli are exploring the Austrian country & folk scene and Robin is also working on his upcoming solo debut in his home studio in Vienna. A few of his demos recently surfaced and it proves that the solo material is equally amazing. I can only hope that he finds a label that will release the solo debut, because this stuff is just too damn brilliant and captivating to be left unreleased. This one below is Miss Lonelyhearts. Hit that soundcloud link to find the songs Waves and Man Overboard, which are just as great.
