Lawrence Arabia (aka James Milne) is a singer-songwriter from New Zealand. What surprised me the most was not that I liked his music instantly, but that he already has released his THIRD album The Sparrows! How is it possible to miss a gemstone like him for such a long time?! I don’t know… From now […]
We are in the mid of the festival season and I’m really looking forward to my own festival plans (which include the Dockville and the Reclaim the Pionierrepublik festivals). To get in the right mood, I spend much time listening to a lot of stuff. And these are my favorite songs I’m listening right now….

I don’t know what it really is, but somehow the voice and beat of Twin Shadow’s (a.k.a. American musician George Lewis Jr.) music fit perfectly to my current mood. And his new album Confess accompanies me in the strangeness (which goes from „wow, life is wonderful“ to „bored, bored, BORED“ within minutes) I am right now.
John Martyn (1948-2009) is a legend. Sure, I heard of this big singer-songwriter who is responsible for musical milestones like the albums Stormbringer (which he produced together with is former wife Beverly) or Grace and Danger (in which he dealt with his divorce). Nevertheless, I have to admit that I digged into his music just
Danish singer-songwriter Tina Dico always reminds me a bit on the big Tracy Chapman. Her voice is remarkable: distinctive, penetrating and full of emotions. I’m not able to resist her.

I guess it is much too late to present you the dream pop duo Beach House and to expect that you haven’t heart of them yet. They seem to be played and spoken a lot right now – the band released their latest album Bloom in May, are currently on a big world tour and

I think it’s time again to present you one more of my (only few) music idols: The National. But you know what? This band has so much personal meaning for me that I don’t feel like I should tell you here the hard facts – like who they are or where they come from… Just

The Wishing Well were responsible for the sound of my last two weekends. This multi-instrumental, folk/indie/rock band (I really have no idea where to put them…) was standing in the centre of Osnabrück and playing as well as singing like hell. I was able to hear them a lot more earlier than I first glimpsed
Since a few weeks I’m the proud owner of a record player. One of the first LPs I bought for it were Best Coast’s new album The Only Place. Since then, I nearly hear no other music anymore. It just fits perfectly with the hot temperatures out there. Thus, I’m spending my time on the
