BAND TO WATCH :: Oh Land

October 21, 2010

Oh Land is a Danish electropop singer/songwriter that I have recently seen popping up all over the interwebs. She dropped her US debut Fauna EP yesterday through iTunes and will be making multiple appearances at this year’s CMJ marathon in NYC. Below, I have included two videos from Oh Land that really turned me on to the music.

The first track is a live recording of “Wolf and I” which features Oh Land on vocals and Hans Hvidberg-Hansen on electronic drum pad + percussion.

The second track is an acoustic version of “Sun of a Gun” which happened to be my first exposure to Oh Land. I was under the impression that all of their music sounded like this (acoustic, broken down, etc .. ) but was surprised when I found out that she is more electro based.Thanks to the Big Ugly Yellow Couch for capturing this wonderful performance!

ARTIST TO WATCH :: Donovan Woods

September 28, 2010

There isn’t anything overly complex about Canadian singer/songwriter Donovan Woods‘ music other than all the different emotions that pour forth from the speakers allowing his acoustic guitar and tender voice to hit your ears. His voice reminds me a bit of Ben Otwell from Gomez on occasion and the instrumentation and guitar work on his tracks are so mellow that your focus goes immediately back to the honesty in his voice. There’s no tricks here .. just a man pouring it all out for us to enjoy.

Donovan Woods released his latest effort The Widowmaker on September 7th and you can purchase a digital copy through ItunesĀ  here. Below you will find a few tracks from the album ..
