Fire Island Pines – Bratislava EP

Josh Bien – For You
Genre: indie, folk, rock
From his Homepage: “Josh is a lighting/scenic/sound designer, actor, singer/songwriter, improviser, puppeteer, director and a founding member of Blackout Theatre Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (…) The album, “For You” comes from Josh’s challenge to himself, “I wanted to do something that scared me, while learning something new and growing at the same time, so i started recording. The scary part came when I made myself tell people i was recording, and started sharing my music with others. The experience has been wonderfully exciting, and i’ve received such great support from my friends and family. It has really deepened my understanding of the music that i listen to by my favorite artists, and my thirst for seeking out new music to listen to. Having learned so much from this experience, i really just want to do it again, and find new ways to make music.”
For You is a name your price download from Bandcamp.

Yellowbirds – NoiseTrade Sampler
Genre: psychedelic
From the album page: “Yellowbirds is the moniker for the musical exploits of Sam Cohen, guitarist/songwriter/singer of the psychedelic collective Apollo Sunshine. With timeless inspirations like Charles Mingus and The Velvet Underground in mind, Cohen created “The Color” by Yellowbirds, his “solo” debut (George Lewis Jr. of Twin Shadow guests.) Double-speed auto-harp glissandos, glowing backwards pedal-steel, bubbling echo and fuzz guitars coalesce into a warm wall of sound. As existential lyrical themes emerge, delivered nonchalantly over psyched-out aural landscapes, the picture emerges of a dust-blown, 4th dimensional Future West. This is Cohen’s quixotic world where “only the purist tones can be heard”.”
The NoiseTrade Sampler is a free download from NoiseTrade.
Jillian Edwards – Galaxies & Such
Genre: acoustic, folk, indie
From her Facebook page: “hello lovely people. my name is jillian and i want to make music forever and ever, even if its in coffee shops until im a cute, litte old lady. i want to make you feel alright about life and lighten your load by telling you that we are all in really good hands. i also want to tell you some good news – that everything, everything – heartache and joy and sorrow and bad days and sunshine – it all pushes us onward to see that we are a lovely people made for lovely purposes. we are dearly, hugely, and personaly loved. those moments when you are driving in your car on a perfectly breezy afternoon with nothing to do but listen to music and let the sun spill on your skin, when you know you are right where you’re meant to be- those moments may seem far and few between but they come and they will keep coming. so come on, world, lighten up. you’ve got a lot of love waiting to kiss your pretty face.”
Galaxies & Such is a free download from NoiseTrade.
