Hello there, dear CFM readers, I’m a bit lazy today and won’t do a full review. But this also gives me the opportunity to spread the news about some topics. First of all: I hope you all remember the lovely alt country band This Frontier Needs Heroes (if not, I spoke about them here). Jessica and Brad currently collecting money for their new record and started a Kickstarter project to get the money in. If you like their music or if you want to eat pasta with the band or if you even want them to play a personal concert at your house, you should visit their Kickstarter page and pledge some dollars. I know that the upcoming album will be great, so why not pre-order your signed copy right now and help them finance the project? Seriously, this is also the opportunity to get some rare band stuff!

In other news: Canadian folk band Two Bicycles has just released a new video for a song from their new EP The End. I was totally taken aback as I watched and heard it. It’s just a wonderful folk song full of heart and the spring really delivers some nice colors to the scene. You really should check it out, if you are into acoustic folk. And don’t forget to visit the band’s bandcamp page to download a single from the new EP, as well as a two track cover single and the 2009 full length album for free (or simply use the links above)! I know you want it – so get it.
And here’s the video:

Ok, the following one is not really breaking news, in fact I’m going to talk about an album that is 9 years old already. Why would I do so? Simply because the music is great and I found it only yesterday, sifting through my HD. It’s from a songstress I never heard of, US folkster Amy Annelle, but she has released many and one album until now and is also about to release a new one soon (called The Cimarron Banks). So, this could be a way to get to know her. I don’t want to spend too much words on A School Of Sectret Dangers because I said, I won’t do a review today, but I strongly recommend to watch out for her music in the future – that is, if you don’t already know it. I will keep you updated as well. And that’s it for today.
There’s something really natural and great about that School of Secret Dangers album cover. Reminds me of the way I feel about Yo la tengo’s “and then nothing turned itself inside-out” cover.
haha, that’s great! that was EXACTLY my thought as I first saw it, because the ATNTIIO cover is one of my alltime fav. cover artworks. (btw: Yo La Tengo is also my alltime number one band EVER)
hah perfect. glad we could share that experience.
