Samantha Crain plays Daytrotter session (download 4 free tracks)

One artist that we think is due for big things in 2009, is young Oklahoma folk singer Samantha Crain. Crain came out with her brilliant EP, The Confiscation in 2008, which featured the song "Traipsing Through The Aisles". 2008 also saw Crain nab a coveted slot on the singer songwriter showcase, the 'Hotel Cafe Tour', alongside performers such as Thao Nguyen, Rachael Yamagata, and Meiko. This coming year will see Crain release her debut full length, Songs in the Night, which will be released on April 28th. She recently stopped in over by the folks at Daytrotter, with her band the Midnight Shivers to perform a 4 song live session that is available for download if you click here.

Gregory and the Hawk- Moenie & Kitchi

The latest effort definitely sees the band expanding their sound, going with a broader array of instrumentation and much fuller arrangements than on previous works. There's no doubt that upon hearing Godreau's voice, that there is an unmistakable innocence and child like quality to it. But on Moenie & Kitchi she manages to make the latest batch of songs sound more mature, and in a sense gives them a timeless quality. Straight from the album's opener "Oats We Sow", you can tell that you're in for a much different G&H album, as the track is built around off kilter beats and strings, which come to a nice little flourish at the end. In fact, it should be noted that the drumming on the album from Adam Christgau is outstanding, and heavily steers the album at its core.
There are defining moments on the disc, like the tracks "Ghosts" and "Stone Wall, Stone Fence", where Godreau sets the tone of the record. While G&H's songs are known for their simple, delicately built manner, Godreau steers these tracks into different waters. “Ghost” is a departure, with more of a straight ahead electric feel to it, even adding trumpet, and much bigger sounding drums. “Stonewall, Stone Fence” has a much darker, menacing tone, that sees the track descend into a heavy industrial-electro led groove. Even the more classic sounding G&H filled tracks on the disc take on a different feel. Like the slow easy shuffle of "Doubtful", which builds into a noisy crescendo that never quite explodes, and the song "Harmless", where Godreau's voice takes a lower register, but yet still seems to float over the heavy strumming of her electric guitar.
The recording of 'Moenie and Kitchi' was said to have been somewhat different for the band, with many of the instruments & most of vocals being recorded simultaneously in just one take. Perhaps that is what gives the album its unique yet familiar feel for G&H, being built around that gentle foundation, but yet adding just the right edge to it.

get to know: Great Bloomers

There's been a growing number of Canadian bands and musicians out there that have really been nailing down the Americana, roots based sound. Bands like, The Wooden Sky, and The Acorn, quickly come to mind. Well, there's another new band that you can add to that list, the Toronto based Great Bloomers. The band put out a self titled EP last year, that featured the instant classic, "Catching Up". They just recently announced plans for their first full length, Speak Of Trouble, which they just wrapped, which will feature 11 new songs from the band. There's no definite date set yet for the release, but according to the band it should be coming out sometime in the late Spring. In the meantime you can take a look at the video for "Catching Up."

Blitzen Trapper's 2008 effort Furr, clocked in at #8 on our top 20 best of the year list. Though the album and song of the same name have been out since early Fall, the track has never received the full video treatment until now.
