*** Unbezahlte, unbeauftragte Werbung *** The Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit just released their fourth album Ruins. I already told you (six years ago!) how wonderful I believe the music of the two sisters sounds. These days, I seldom listen to whole albums anymore – I prefer my own playlists with the distinct songs […]

Musketeer In his just released studio EP Seven Long Years Australian singer-songwriter Musketeer (who very recently moved to Hamburg) explores quite a dark time of Australian and European history: It follows the journey of a 19th century British convict sent to the prison camps in Australia. The record combines old sea-tale story telling with a

German-American singer-songwriter Michael Lane served 15 months in Irak as part of the US army. There he remembered the importance of family, and relationships… This ‚living in the moment‘ attitude is also present in his songs. Since I love folk, his tunes go right into my mind and stay there. Have fun listening! Like always:

Today’s song is (again) a recommendation by my pal Birte: White Daisy Passing by the US-based singer-songwriter Rocky Votolato. Since I cannot resist any folk tunes his music fits perfectly: A bit singer-songwriter, a bit folk, a bit indie and a bit country. Thanks Birte! Have fun listening!

Today’s song Little Talks by the Iceland-based band Of Monsters and Men was on my 2011 playlist – long before it was a big hit in 2012. Lately, I heard it on the radio and now I have it in my mind again. So here it comes… Have fun listening! Like always: All credits appear

My inbox often contains music suggestions (and lots of spam mails). Only rarely it happens that I actually like the songs I find there. Le Fits with their just released album Fisticuffs were the big exception. Their sound is located somewhere between indie rock and folk and I am already a big fan! Have fun
I really have a soft spot for folky music. The Berlin-based band Mighty Oaks had a walk-over with me. Their tunes a folky-relaxed, laid-back with a hint of celebration. I am totally smitten and think that it’s incredible that these guys live in Germany (although singer Ian Hooper is originally from Washington)! Have fun while

Iron and Wine’s voice (aka the one of singer-songwriter Sam Beam) you can find on almost every playlist I created during the last years. It just calms me down … or makes me happy and energized. He will play in June in Berlin and I already marked this event with three exclamation marks in my
I discovered the band that is currently on permanent repeat modus on my iPod only two weeks ago, on the release day of their first album Red Summer Spirit. Now I’m in love with Black Horse Motel and their indie-folk tunes. Their sound is something in between happy and melancholic, which I think is a
