Yet another great folk record from Canada’s Other Songs Music Co, one of my favorite labels right now. Dark, poetic lyrics accompanied by an array of organs, acoustic guitars, string arrangemetns and the soulful baritone voice of new-comer, Alex Drumm. For fans of The National, Will Straton, Okkervil River.

Another fantastic A Música Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria session, this time with previously featured Portuguese folk ensemble You Can’t Win, Charlie Brown. Watch “Sad Song”, from their debut EP, below.
Punch Magazine has also made a similar kind of video of them playing the song “I’ve Been Lost”, from their debut LP “Chromatic”.
You Can’t Win, Charlie Brown has also just been announced to be playing Festival Paredes de Coura on August 19, along with bands like Deerhunter, Kings of Convenience, Battles or Marina and the Diamonds. See the full lineup here.
What’s better than a couple of delicious Arborea videos to finish off your week? Watch the official videos for the song “A Little Time” below, one made by La Foret Des Renards and another by Filmes da Mente, a live session for Bodyspace.net’s Videoteca, shot on a beautiful, narrow street in Porto, Portugal, during their latest European tour.
Great “A Música Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria” session with Braga, Portugal folkies Long Way to Alaska. Look at me motherfucker ‘cause I’m sailin’ on a boat.
Long Way to Alaska will also be playing in the pool stage at Milhões de Festa festival in Barcelos, Portugal next July 23rd. Rad!
Great release from Montréal’s Sea Oleena, the moniker of the multi-instrumentalist Charlotte Oleena. Quiet and peaceful music that makes you want to gaze at the ocean. Don’t worry if you’re landlocked, it’s still great. Listen and download (donate her some bucks!) below, buy the cassette from Bridgetown Records.
