Matt Corby, Penguin Prison, Oliver, Rosie And Me, David Lyre

Brother
This is just too bad. Today we tried to feature Matt Corby‘s ‘Brother’, one of the best songs we’ve heard in a while. This morning the file was downloadable (Uncompressed WAV-file), but not embeddable. This evening, it’s exactly the other way around. So although this isn’t downloadable, here it is anyway. The original version of ‘Brother’. Will update if the download link comes back up. If you like Matt Corby, he is giving away more fantastic music if you subscribe to his website.

Fair Warning (Oliver Remix)
It’s been exactly one human pregnancy ago since Oliver uploaded their remix on Penguin Prison’s ‘Fair Warning’. And the production sounds like it was made roughly 40 pregnancies ago. (you do the math.) But it’s hardly longer than a one-night-stand ago that Oliver actually unlocked the download link on that remix. So posting it now:

I Couldn’t Reach You
By now I think all of you are pretty familiar with the “Facebook-like-to-dowload-my-track’ concept. Artists attach much value to a large following on their social media pages. So if you follow them, some of them like to give a free track in return. A pretty cool concept, and it has been around for a while now. Rosie And Me sorta do the same thing. Except they take it one step further. It’s more like a ‘Facebook-like-to-download-our-entire-friggin-album‘ type of deal. And it’s a recent album too, titled ‘Arrow Of My Ways’.

Now about the album, I think it’s best not to listen to music with an idea of how it actually ‘should’ sound. (Raised expectations by a previous EP or album.) But this album isn’t the same as their debut ‘Bird and Whale’ EP. It’s much more Country influenced, and somehow it doesn’t have as much energy and playfulness as their first EP. Rosie (Rosanne Machado) has a fragile voice and she sings beautiful fragile songs. ‘Arrow Of My Ways’ is good, different, and sadder than I expected. But to be honest, Lana Del Rey still has the sad-market pretty much covered right now.

English Roses
On to London based singer/songwriter David Lyre. He has quite a few free tracks up on Soundcloud. So if you enjoy this track below, do go and check out his Soundcloud profile. This particular track is titled ‘English Roses’ and was uploaded last week.
