Fridays are for New Music

Today’s song comes from artist Kendall Payne. I first heard of her a few years ago from April, and instantly starting getting into her style. We heard this song on “Brothers and Sisters” I think; it’s off her newest album, Paper Skin, and the song is called “I Will Show You Love.”

Fridays are for New Music

Date January 4, 2008

Her music is described as “hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.” That’s a pretty bold statement about the music, but it’s really great stuff. I love her [...]

Today we feature Austin-based VAST. This is another one of the harder bands, described as “industrial, alternative, progressive rock.” This song is called “I’m Dying” and is on their debut album, “Visual Audio Sensory Theater.” It’s good workout music, or music to blast when you’re mad or driving around with the windows down. The whole [...]

Fridays are for New Music

Date November 30, 2007

I thought I’d start sharing some music with you on Fridays. I’ll start off today with a track entitled Hysteria by British, new-progressive rock band, Muse. This is off of their album, Absolution. It’s probably a little hard for some of you, but I enjoy the louder stuff sometimes.

The American Dollar: The Technicolour Sleep

Date November 6, 2007

A good friend of mine, Keas, has recently been enlightening me with some great new music recently. The album I’ve connected with the most, and the one that has become my permanent study music (as he assured me it would) is The American Dollar (myspace here). Ambient, techno-ish, experimental - whatever you want to call [...]
