Check out a brand new track from Ray LaMontagne’s upcoming album with the Pariah Dogs, God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise. It’s a passionate vocal performance with an understated accompaniment featuring the smooth sounds of the pedal steel guitar. Let’s hope there are more songs like this on the rest of the record. The album itself is due August 17th.
German experimental/ambient guitarist Markus Mehr’s “Hubble” is the first single from his forthcoming album Lava. The track will be available as a free download until the album is released by Hidden Shoal Recordings on June 15.
Alex Chilton, songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer, has died of a heart attack at the age of 59.
Swedish band Tape brought their minimalistic instrumental pop to the US again this winter for a tour with Brooklyn duo Mountains (the two bands previously toured the states together in 2004). The Stockholm-based trio, which includes brothers Andreas Berthling (electronics) and Johan Berthling (guitar) as well as Tomas Hallonsten (keyboards), released a new album earlier this month entitled Fugue, a collaboration with legendary Scottish jazz guitarist Bill Wells.
US audiences heard only one track from Tape’s latest album during their recent live sets, however. The band mostly performed songs from their 2008 release Luminarum (check out a track from that album, “Moth Wings,” above). Fans may have also been surprised to see the addition of a fourth member on stage, drummer Andreas Söderström, who provided an extra rhythmic element to the band’s trademark ambient approach.
Following their US dates, the band returns home to finish the recording of yet another new album and has plans to perform in Europe later in the spring, including the Nattjazz festival in Norway.
