I Can Hear The Grass Cannons

IDIOTIC PUNS FUCK YEAH

Grass Cannons are a New Zealand band. I love New Zealand. I’ve never actually been there – I haven’t actually been ANYWHERE not in the Iberian Peninsula (I’m lying, I’ve been to Mallorca once) – but I’ve always been fascinated by Pacific nations such as NZ, Australia, even tiny little Micronesia, one of my favourite countries of all time since, as a kid, I spent hours looking at maps and atlases (not a pun, though I enjoy that band). Grass Cannons e-mailed me a while ago after I wrote about BnP in the hopes I would pay them attention, and I like it when people send me e-mails, it makes me feel all fluffy and warm inside. But I’m writing about them not because I feel I should pay them back somehow, but because I find them good enough to be here. They lean on the shoegaze side of things, with a bit of a post-rock tinge, and you can listen to them/download their EP on Bandcamp. So enjoy.

Anywhere But Where I Am by Foreign Fields

Wisconsin natives Foreign Fields are about to release their debut album, Anywhere But Where I Am. Their beautifully crafted sound with delicate arrangements makes you wish it was November. Something in between hollow folk, Vienna and rainy days. Listen to it, and buy if possible.

Horrible present, haunted past.

If you run a somewhat high profile site/blog you surely receive dozens of emails per week. Some you don’t even bother to read and throw them in the garbage bin just after reading the headline (sorry), you might find others slightly interesting but not enough to post or there’s not enough time to do it, others contain some great, perfectly bloggable music inside and then there’s this rare sight: a sincere email where only a ten word sentence is written, alongside with a Soundcloud/Bandcamp link pointing to an awesome song performed by some perfectly unknown unsigned artist. This is the kind of email that made me want to start my own label, and this was the case with Horrible Present. “Classics at Night” was instantly gone into repeat mode and a couple of months later his exquisitely titled EP 54, I love you but it’s time to get off – which consists of his old EP 54 plus some new songs and b-sides – was released on our label Cakes and Tapes. Stream, download for free and buy one of the 15 remaining limited edition cassettes by clicking on the widget below.
