Amazing. As an absolute fraction of the stuff that doesn’t end with the core suffix in my 50GB music library, this must be the most amazing band of all times. It’s basically something people call neofolk, but Clann Zú takes the neofolk-ish experience to a whole completely new level of awesomeness, successfully mixing genres like electronica, folk, indie, rock, classic, etc.

Hit play, seriously. And if you like it (of course you will), I might suggest reaching for the Rua LP which, unlike, the latest album is a very solid release.

Here ye, here ye, music time again and I’ve got something special today for you my minions. Quite frankly I wanted to post something completely different but while browsing the letter a in my library I stumbled on Mr Andy McKee and simply couldn’t let the moment pass.

Enough rant. Folk. Acoustic guitar. Fingerstyle. Just give the guy a listen – my favorite of all times would be the Art of Motion LP.

Also, for all of you London folks, Andy will be playing at Halfmoon on the 23/24 of July – not going is not an option.

I was never a big fan of music originated somewhere in Asia (probably due to the whole pop-bubble-gum culture going on down there for the past few years). Fortunately, lately had a chance to come across some really interesting tune, like Vassline.

Its somehow metalcoreish roots fused with some new riffs totally appeal to me and put the band in my top bands of all times (see Weekly audiophilism).

There’s more from the far East basket, but I’ll take a rain check on that for the time being.

Just to think that a half a year ago I would never, ever even consider putting some Southern tune on. Today? Well, let’s just say I even have my own Confederate flag on the wall.

There’s something really cool about Maylene and the Sons of Disaster which doesn’t seem to let go after the first time you listen to these guys. For anyone who’s not familiar with Southern Rock genre - it’s less rock and more really heavy rock (in some cases even hardcore…ish) mixed with a fair dose of country.

Just give it a go and see if you like it.

In case you haven’t noticed, there should be a Play button in the bottom-left side of the cover-art. Player is the courtesy of Enrico Benco – Keepthinking.
