a quick turn around the place

a few choice pieces that have been sitting tucked into various corners of the anyone's guess mansion & patiently awaiting someone to show them off:

skipping girl vinegar - one chance

"one chance" is a loose & sort of bluesy affair with added pace, and the first single from the upcoming debut album, sift the noise, by the melbourne band skipping girl vinegar.

travel by sea - gone

days of my escape, the second album from travel by sea, a long distance duo who compose and record their brand of warm & enchanting acoustic-based music while hundreds of miles apart, was released by aquarium drunkard's autumn tone records earlier this spring.

american princes - watch as they go

american princes and their winningly modern take on 80s rock call little rock, arkansas home. there are several tracks from their newest album, other people, available for download on the band's myspace page.

the rural alberta advantage - don't haunt this place

the rural alberta advantage now call toronto home, though each of the mission of this trio remains unchanged: to play music that tries to "embrace the advantage of growing up in alberta." "don't haunt this place" comes from their album hometowns, from which you can hear more here.
