Songs From Impending Leaks: In The Dirt by S. Carey

I read about Sean Carey (or S. Carey) this morning and must admit that I have never heard of him. He plays drums and piano for Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver and has his own record coming out. In The Dirt is an impressive song with its repetetive percussion sounds and layered vocals.

Songs From Impending Leaks: No Ghost by The Acorn

May 1, 2010
By

I was already raving about the great cover art of the forthcoming album No Ghost back in our society. Now the title track to their new album is finally available. Singer/guitarist Klausner announced: “It’s a lot harder, it’s got a lot more electric guitars, it’s got a bit of a Yo La Tengo-y or Talk Talk kind of spaciousness, but then it also feels a little like a Crazy Horse record at times.”
