Back in 2010, when it looked like Paste magazine would fade into obscurity, they began to post a good number of albums for free download on their website. This was one of the last records I downloaded from them before they would relaunch as a digital only magazine in the summer of 2011. I think it's fair to categorize this as lo-fi garage rock, but it's done well here. The album art is pretty psychedelic, no?
Here is "Coldest Morning Light", recorded at a venue in Brooklyn called Shea Stadium ...
Holly Wines and Todd Kemper had been telling me about Willy Porter for years before I ever had a chance to see him perform. A few years back, he was the unadvertised opening act for an Elvis Costello & The Imposters show in Milwaukee, and it didn't take more than a few songs for him to make me a new fan of his. He reminds me a little bit of Dan Bern in his storytelling. I enjoy this album quite frequently nowadays, and I believe he's the only entry on this list from Mequon, WI thus far ...
This is called "Moonbeam" ...
