The Hill & the Wood- "Little Omaha" (live session)

The fine folks over at Kitchen Sessions recently unveiled a new live video session they shot with The Hill and the Wood and their song, "Little Omaha." The Hill and the Wood hail from Charlottesville, Va. and they put out a most excellent self titled album back in 2011, which we've spoken about several times here on the blog (read here). The band has just embarked on some Northeast & Mid-Atlantic tour dates (see below) with plans for LP number two soon in the works.

The Hill and the Wood- "The Disciple"

I was a big fan of this Charlottesville, Virginia bands debut disc that dropped at the end of last year. The bands first LP shows off a wide range of styles and moods that has even earned them some some comparisons to the likes of Wilco, and Radiohead. There's more than a few standout tracks on the album, but one of my absolute favorites is the track, "The Disciple" which features amazing harmonies between founder Sam Bush & Juliana Daugherty. I recently found this great live version of the song that was taken from a show a few weeks back at the Pink Warehouse in their hometown in Virginia.
Watch it below and don't forget you can stream the bands debut album over on their bandcamp page HERE.

Song of the Week: The Hill and Wood-"Vacant Spaces" ...show in Brooklyn Frid. 12/16

The fist thing that came to my mind when I heard the new album from The Hill and Wood was, damn why didn't I find this album just a few weeks ago. You see I've been making up my year end 'Best Of' list and I think this one might have found it's way on it had I discovered it sooner. The Charlottesville,Virginia based band dropped their self titled debut last month, drawing some comparisons to Wilco, and even Radiohead. The LP was a few years in the making as founder Sam Bush saw the band go through some lineup changes before finding the perfect fit. For long time fans it must have been worth the wait as the album is an impressive debut. The stunning opening track, "Vacant Spaces" sets the tone with a mix of simple yet intricate percussion, strings and synth, with Bush and Juliana Daugherty's vocals floating above. Give a listen below and stream the whole album over on the bands bandcamp page HERE.
And if your in the NYC area, the band will be playing a show this Friday night at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn, so you can check them out in person.
