Edward Sharpe // man on fire

new album out on 5/29/12.

Lunch Money Gang // Cereal for lunch

Harmon Drive — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:16:53 +0000

These dudes are legit, but most important they are fun to listen to. Every song is worth the listen, 3:25AM is one of my favorites. I don’t listen to a lot of new hip hop, mostly the old stuff but this is a breath of fresh air. Thanks to Lunch Money Gang for sharing via twitter.

Get all the jams on Bandcamp for free.

Sonny & The Sunsets

Harmon Drive — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:01:53 +0000

One of my favorites, Sonny & The Sunsets is set to release Longtime Companion out 6/26. Every song on the forthcoming record was written during and is about his break up with his wife of ten years. Loving this pedal steel guitar vibe of Pretend You Love Me. This will be my front porch anthem of the summer. Now, I just need a front porch. Turn this up. (more info)

An accidental find // Jennifer O’Connor

Harmon Drive — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:03:40 +0000

Stumbled on this artist searching for Jenny O tunes a few weeks ago. Brooklyn lost recordings from 2000. Feels right.

Cold Specks // Holland

Harmon Drive — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:47:14 +0000

Stumbled on this beautiful song from Cold Specks via Mute Records. Soulful tune for an early morning. Look for the album 5.21.12.

The Lumineers // Denver folk rock

Harmon Drive — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:54:25 +0000

The Lumineers // Hey Ho

Somehow I have missed The Lumineers over the course of the last month. When I was in Colorado, they played Snowball and then while I was in Austin they rocked SXSW. They have plenty more dates though and from what I have heard they can rock a live audience. Hoping to catch their tour stop on 4/13 at the coolest place in Evanston, “Space”. Look for their full length out on 4/3 from Dualtone Records. Enjoy.

Ko Ko // Float

Harmon Drive — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:30:59 +0000

killer summer jam.

jenny o // willie’s ranch // sxsw

Harmon Drive — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:12:17 +0000

I was blessed to find myself in Austin this past week for a quick trip while SXSW was shaking loose. I was also lucky enough to muster up an invite to Willie Nelson’s ranch for a private party sponsored by Electric Lady Studios. The first act I caught was Jenny O. She has a wonderfully soothing voice that forced me to look up to the sky, take a deep breath and reflect on all the things I have to be thankful for. I first found myself listening to Jenny awhile back via the song OK Honey which is also insanely catchy.
