Looking for some mellow, drifting, rainy day music to close-out our Indian Summer and embrace the onsetting autumn? This Tacoma-Native but now Brooklyn-based trio is pretty intoxicating and I plan to keep a close eye on them. Haven't heard a track I don't like. A sexy blend of vintage guitar and ghostly, smokey croons from lead singer, Molly Hamilton. Their work floats you right back into nostalgic 90's grunge and I'm looking forward to watching their progression and hopefully they'll swing back by their home base for a show soon.

I Cannot Get Enough of You:
James Vincent McMorrow
So, it started with the discovery of this cover of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love", which wrenched on my heartstrings immediately. It being one of my favorite carjamming songs of the 80's, I could be biased... so I did some research...
And I found so much.
And so much more...
The imagery on this live session is impeccable but sound a bit muffled. All the while entirely worth watching. Particularly if you've wandered through Paris at night...
Okay... that's enough for now. But you know I'll have this Dublin born folk-singer's work playing on pre-peat for weeks to come. Check out his latest album "In the Early Morning" at http://www.jamesvmcmorrow.com/ and look at the tour schedule! Coming to Triple Door in Seattle on the 21st of this month!!! (I will be there)

Iceland Tunes: Jonsi
On a roundtrip flight to London last Fall I discovered two things while aboard Iceland Air:
1) The most widely eaten food among Icelandic people is Hotdogs.
2) The country is beautiful and apparantly a largely renowned hotspot for new indie music.
Exploring the works of this intriguing place has long been on my list of things to do. So, until I can venture back and delve into more in person... I'm spending my week with Iceland beats. Here's a little Jonsi to start (who's solo album "Go" released in 2010 and toured here this Spring).
