Branches, “Sonho Marítimo”
Author: bolachas
As promised, here’s the full Ruby Randall debut EP, which is out today, courtesy of Other Songs Music Co. Four simple, yet beautiful folk songs for everyone to enjoy.
Recorded in just one weekend in a home studio in Hamilton, Canada – Ruby Randall’s voice shines through the stripped-down production. Ruby’s vocals and guitar are accompanied by just a banjo, upright bass and her subtle harmonies. “We wanted to sign her that night when we heard her play at a house show in Guelph, ON. The humility and peacfullness we heard in her voice is what drew us in right away.” – Jeff Wynands (Other Songs Music Co.)
From the bunch of CDs the guys at Serious Business sent us some months ago, by bands we never had the pleasure of listening before on the other side of the pond, one stood up from the rest (if we exclude the ones by the amazing Benji Cossa, whose records we listened over and over). That record was Rocketship Park’s “Off and Away”. Rocketship Park is the brainchild of the multi-instrumentalist, song-man, producer, vocalist, and auteur Josh Kaufman, and he returns next June 27th with his new record, “Cakes and Cookies”, which you can already stream in its entirety after the jump. First 300 orders come with a limited edition (hand numbered and letter-pressed) 7" and a homemade cookie/sweet treat that should be as delicious as the finely crafted pop gems you can listen to on the record. Guests on “Cakes and Cookies” include Dawn Landes and The National’s Bryan Devendorf!
You can also download the track Fast Friends for free, clicking the link below.

Uaninauei’s Lume de Chão was, undoubtedly, one of the best Portuguese rock albums of last year. Finally, the guys from Alentejo decided to let the whole world stream it for free. You can listen to it after the jump.
Also, you should check Long Desert Cowboy, one of the many sideprojects of vocalist Daniel Catarino. You can also stream and download his latest effort, Symphony of the Deceased, on the Cakes and Tapes’ Bandcamp account.
