Julian Lage


Just discovered 23 year old guitarist Julian Lage. The kid is brilliant, literally, he was a child prodigy.

Lage composed and posted a series of Etude's on Youtube to help fellow guitarists with compositional and technical skills that he's been exploring.

Here is Etude #3, blows me away.

Check out his albums. Superb.




PJ Harvey recently released a short film for each song on her awesome latest, Let England Shake.
You can catch them all on Youtube.

I am currently addicted to this track.

Pat Jordache - Future Songs




Another one from Constellation Records.
Pat Jordache was in Sister Suvi with Merill Garbus (tUnE-yArDs).

Esmerine - La Lechuza




After six years without a release, Esmerine just dropped their latest album June 7th on Constellation Records.

Esmerine dedicated the album to the late and incredibly talented Lhasa De Sela, a mutual friend of the players.

Much of the album was recorded at the lovely Patrick Watson's home studio, and he contributes vocals on "Snow Day For Lhasa".

This album keeps the body cool on a scorching hot city day.
