Nuggets 241 – C&W 11

Nuggets 241 - C&W 11

Making mixes is getting unnecessarily difficult. See the above cover for instance. The picture is warped to billio because the software I use, Nero, is playing up. Elsewhere my main PC had its new SSD drive fail, etc. etc. Grrrrr.

In a happier place the mixes are flowing, but just not to the web. Bingo Trappers are an excellent Dutch alt country band, Beachwood Sparks riff on that Flying Burrito Brothers sound while Dylan LeBlanc has a quiet turn of phrase that I find charming.  Courtney Barnett visited recently and by all reports she put on a good show. Mogwai are coming next year. You may recognise the Handsome Family track as it was featured in the True Detective TV series.

Sit close to the screen for a healthy dose of alt country. Take it away Calexico.

There should be a playable playlist below, or try this link.

Nuggets 93 – Morning Voices

“..and don’t send me any of that wimpy stuff.” So I didn’t.

I get lost on Bandcamp and here is what I found…

Cover and tunes on the way.

 

First up Motopony from Seattle, a one man band that recently got bigger and now make hard-soul/glitch-folk indie-rock. Great video and love the song. No so sure about the rabbit (?) fur jacket.

Motopony

 

Little Scout practice dreampop from Melbourne.

 Little Scout

 

Buy Yung Life from his bandcamp page, or download it for free. His bedroom experimental music comes to you from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Youth's Hours

 

Acid Flashback have no existence apart from the playlist on their Myspace page.

I Love Your Magic

 

Neat Beats can be found on Bandcamp where they peddle their wonky trip-hop. They hail from San Diego. Buy their music in bits and bytes or in vinyl.

Neat Beats

 

Korea in the Space, yeah, naff name and very unhelpful team photo. From Pittsburgh. This track and others free on bandcamp if you like their twitchy lofi.

Korea in Space

 

Klaus Von Barrel, aka Die Jungen – hails from Southampton. This does little to explain the name, or the photo below… Wistful. Free from bandcamp.

Die Jungen

Shimmering Stars make spare yet beaty musak. From Vancouver. Music here on bandcamp.

Shimmering Stars - Violent Hearts

 

Teen Suicide, not sure where they are from, probably not the London band of the same name. This track from their album, Bad Vibes For Ever – glum.. Free on bandcamp.

bad vibes forever

 

Deamdate – Anna Hillburg (bass, vocals) and Yea-Ming Chen (guitar, vocals) from Oakland, California. Less wistful, tuneful.

Dreamdate

 

The Handsome Family – serious about their music, or even just serious.

Through the Trees

 

Steffalo – from LA, has recorded with Blackbird blackbird. Buy her tunes here.

Meet Me in Montauk

 

J. Irvín Dally – Californian artist. Too talented for his own good. Visit bandcamp for more.
