Everybody’s favorite Australian songstress (sorry Kylie) will unleash a new album next year – We Are Born. She is nice enough to share an mp3 to tide us over. And I’ll make this proclamation: Toy Pianos will be THE instrument of 2010. Listen: Sia ∞ You’ve Changed

For some reason, bluegrass music lends itself well to loading the dishwasher and scrubbing pots and pans. One of the hottest bluegrass players out there right now is Adam Steffey. He used to pick his mandolin with Allison Krauss and Union Station. Listen: Adam Steffey ∞ Let Me Fall What do you ...

While I was in the Newark airport waiting for my flight to Minneapolis (to play some shows in Eau Claire as Coconut and The Duke), I got an email about this band Warpaint. I watched the video below and fell in love. I like the live version better than the studiocut. Watch: Listen: Warpaint ∞ ...

The Duke digs this video and the song that goes along with it. The Wheat Pool hail from Canada. Their album Hauntario (which is a great album title) is out now. Watch: Listen: The Wheat Pool ∞ This Is It

I know some purist will make a stink and say this album came out last year. But it was remastered and the songs were reordered, so in some ways the 2009 version is a different album. If I had to number this favorite albums list, this album would be number one or two for 2009. Listen: The Low ...

Plain and simple, one of my top three bands. Love everything they do. If you don’t know them , you should give them a try. Listen: Pink Martini ∞ Splendor In The Grass Week One: The Two Man Gentlemen Band Week Two: David Rawlings Machine

I got this email late last night while I was waiting for a friend at the bus stop. I misread the schedule and was an hour early. These songs comforted me with their understated vocals simple musical arrangements. Will is a student at Bennington College. His new album No Wonder is out now. ...

Being called the lovechild of Syd Barrett and Tito Puente, Cracked Latin have a new single out called “My Hallucination”. In all reality, this should be a “Party Tune Tuesday” song. But I like it so much I can’t wait until next week to post. The album drops 11-10. Cracked Latin ∞ My Hallucination

Matt Epp is a Canadian troubadour. His latest release is a twelve song outing that features lots of special guests (Eliza Gilkyson, Brandy Zdan of Twilight Hotel and Jesse DeNatale). The song below is extremely well-written, perfect for a frosty morning (which is was here in PA). Listen: Matt ...

Vampires are the bees’ knees right now. From The Twilight Saga to Vampire Weekend’s new album. Coconut and The Duke have been bitten, too. The invasive folk duo took “Walcott” off Vampire Weekend's debut album and turned it into parlor music with special vocals by The Duchess. It's their Cover ...

I have some reservations about putting this album on my list, especially considering I haven’t actually heard it yet. BUT I did see David (and the rest of the Big Surprise Tour) live back in August. He played most of the songs below. And the musicians featured on the album are the same as ...

If I had to pick between Josh Rouse and Josh Ritter, the latter would get the vote. But the former’s latest offering pleases me with its Brazilian stylings. Rouse has a new album called El Turista coming out soon. Listen: Josh Rouse ∞ Valencia (via Vanity Fair)

Once again, my favorite this week is a video. I've been a Jack fan since 11th grade. Super excited about this release. Ben and Jay put music to Jack's words! 1. California Zephyr 2. Low Life Kingdom 3. Willamine 4. All In One 5. Breathe Our Iodine 6. These Roads Don't Move 7. Big Sur 8. One ...

I got an email about Tristen a few weeks ago. I finally was able to listen to her “tour” EP – a collection of five songs she is selling while out on tour. Her sound is somewhere between classic pop from the Brill building and the current country-punk of Those Darlins. Listen: Tristen ∞ Eager For ...

As is the usual around here, with 10 Mondays left in 2009, The Duke will look back at his favorite albums from this year – in a reverse alphabetical fashion. First up is Drip Dryin’ with The Two Man Gentleman Band. A throwback group that dresses in suits, writes innuendo-fill songs and sings ...

A one-time member of a Canadian ABBA tribute band, Ash has a debut album coming next year. Until then, she is tiding us over with series of digital EPs. The first is ...
