Rough Trade artist, Basia Bulat, is set to release her new album “Heart of My Own” on Jan. 26, 2010. I received a preview copy of the entire album, and I enjoyed it very much. This track, “Gold Rush,” is available for download through her website, and it highlights the best elements of her musical style. She has a very distinct voice that has the versatility to incorporate both highs and lows. This album will be her latest since “Oh My Darling,” which had many favorable tracks such as “Snakes and Ladders.” There seems to be a lot to look for, with indie music, in the new year to come. |

Okay, so I’m not much of a follower of the “Twilight” series. That being said the soundtrack to the “New Moon” film, oddly enough, has some appealing tracks. I was both surprised and impressed to find that St. Vincent (Annie Clark) and Bon Iver had collaborated to produce “Roslyn,” a piece that takes their talents to new heights. This is not the only teaming up that St. Vincent has been up to. Last night, I went to the St. Vincent and Andrew Bird show at The Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. This was my second time seeing Andrew Bird perform, and yet I was still blown away. When he and Annie Clark came out and played together, I felt chills down my spine. Bird supported Clark, as she sang “Marry Me.” Clark provides a rich, unique music style that mixes electric guitar and romance. Her versatility as an artist shows promise for new projects to come. |
