Casual Pop from Rainbrother

Those of you who revel in the execution of relaxed pop music will find that the tunes from Rainbrother fit perfectly into your life. Bjarke Bendtsen might be familiar for his role in The Migrant, but he’s looking to further expand his sound with this new project…he’s doing it quite well. There’s a nice nostalgic look back in both the lyrics, as well as musically, as I canhear elements of what Midlake so fascinating awhile ago. There’s even a bit of a jam lurking in the song’s latter half. Should make for good listening, so check out Tales from the Drought, which just got released by General Bird.

New Music from The Migrant

migrantMan, the Migrant are on an incredible roll.  They’ve released three albums in the last four years, and their next one is on its way.  They’ve just put up our first sample of the new album, Flood, and it’s a pretty marvelous track.  While I can easily say that I just love the overall appeal of the song’s construction, I love the sound of the strumming melded with the rolling percussive element that’s present.  If you’re in need of something to keep you warm today, then you’ve come to the right place.  No date has been announced, but we’ll keep you posted.

New Tunes from The Migrant

Okay, so this isn’t exactly the newest tune from the Danish group (predominantly a man and friends), The Migrant,  but in a busy years, I accidentally glanced over the late November release of Travels in Lowland.  But, it’s now becoming one of my favorite records, spinning a great deal around the house as the cold slowly creeps into my bedroom.  When you listen to the album’s opening track “The Organ Grinder” you’ll find that there’s gentle guitar strumming, strong wavering vocals, and a step-up in tempo mid-track.  All such things are indicative of great beauty and wonderful moments that fill the rest of the album.  Take one listen and I’m sure you’ll feel the same.
