Laura K – new video

Posted on by Knut in folky, indiepop | Comments Off

Saboteur – Laura K from laura kovic on Vimeo. A few months ago, we released a free digital single on our netlabel EardrumsPop with Laura K, and I am sure many of you have already downloaded it. The single has become one of our most popular releases. I was very excited myself, when the tracks arrived in my inbox, but the single has really grown since I listened to it the first time.  As you understand, I am a fan! …

Town Hall – lovely indie-folk from New York

Posted on by Knut in folky | 1 Comment

Town Hall is an indie/folk trio from New York City, who have just released their debut-EP “ Sticky Notes and Paper Scraps“. I fell in love with their sound instantly, after hearing Phoebe Ryan’s wonderful vocals on the stunning opening track “Just Watching My Breath”. The vocal duties are split between her and Stefan Weiner, also on this song, where their vocals swirl around each other.  The third member is Jesse Kranzler, whose banjo adds a warmth and a down-to-earth feeling …

Best albums of 2011?

Posted on by Knut in Love | 1 Comment

Well, I always promise myself that I won’t do a best of this year, but I end up doing something that looks quite like a best of-list. I listen to A LOT of music in a lot of different genres, and I always find it difficult to range albums from 1-10 or even 1-100, so here are the albums I have enjoyed the most in 2011. Why should there be only one winner, when there are so many great albums …

To those of you who have sent me emails or …
