Shady Cove Drop High Divide Single

Pressing play, Shady Cove will embrace you with simplicity, providing powerful vocals over a steadied little beat; it’s enough to capture your attention, putting the duo in like-minded territory with the Angel Olsens. What I loved is how the band slowly, almost slyly, let the song develop into something larger, something wholly more expressive. The guitar entrance is a prime example, sparkling with these little notes at just the right time, letting the song sort of unroll with more power right before your ears, only to return and settle back down while those notes fade into the far off distance. Definitely a solid start here for the new band, so let’s hope we hear more soon.

Candace to Appear on Mt. Portland Compilation

buzzIt says a great deal when a community can respect themselves enough to participate in a compilation that’s meant to do nothing than highlight the musical scene and aid a charity. So, in this case, Candace and Buzz or Howl Studios have won with their Mt. Portland compilation. Candace wins because hopefully more people will hear their sounds, BoH wins because they get to promote a good cause (charity and their community) and Portland wins because it continues to grow its musical presence. Listen below to sample what they all have to offer! Look for the Comp on February 28th…and maybe an Austin version coming down the line soon!
