Campus Christy Share Little Wings

The musical collaboration between Peanut Butter Wolf and Brian Ellis is shaping up quite nicely, and “Little Wings” is just another careful sample from the forthcoming LP that’s got me in a state of awe. A galactic wash works just behind the strum, with a light hum adding to listener’s of the faintest brushstrokes, though on this cold Austin morning, I’m certainly drawn towards the gentle vocals. They offer this fragility, this sort of happy solitude that accompanies the light blowing of the winds outside, so it feels like the perfect track today. The self-titled Campus Christy LP will be out on December 6th via Stones Throw.

Top 20 LPs of 2019…According to Lost Sound Tapes

There’s a handful of really really great tape labels out there, and one that is near and dear to our hearts is Lost Sound Tapes, run by Jon Manning. He’s done an incredible job of curating, and I almost always find myself in love with a handful of his releases each year, like Olivia’s World and Lisa Prank this year! So, I reached out and asked him to pop off with some of his favorite releases…and here we are. Enjoy!

Woodsist Is Cornering Troubadour Folk

woodMan…Woodsist is on it this week, as far as the troubadour style folk stylings go.  They just tossed out two great tracks this week, both of artists that will be releasing new music soon. The first tune they had up was Simon Joyner‘s “Nostalgia Blues” off his Grass, Branch & Bone album (3/31); he has more of a Jeff Tweedy wistful quality, yearning, always yearning.  Their other hit was from Little Wings; it’s “By Now” from his effort Explains (5/26).  He’s definitely got more of a saddened touch to his style, but his lyrical playfulness reminds me a lot of David Berman.  Congrats to the label…these are some really great tunes.
