David Wingo is releasing BELLY OF THE LION, his 2nd album under the Ola Podrida moniker, on 11/10 on Western Vinyl. By then, Austin will no longer be 104 degrees and he will be much less grumpy. Here’s what these people had to say about the self-titled debut album that was released 2 years ago but feels like 20…

PITCHFORK :: “Ola Podrida is a cohesive, confident album full of folky, quiet guitars and thoughtful lyrics that coalesce into complete songs” (Rating - 8.0)

STYLUS MAGAZINE ::”Ola Podrida isn’t just a strikingly accomplished debut - it’s near-essential listening for anyone who’s been taken with the recent turn in some parts of the indie cosmology towards folkier and more countrified sounds.”

POPMATTERS ::”Writers like to say stupid stuff about music like this being a > soundtrack to your life, but really, put your life on hold for 46 > minutes.”

SPIN.COM - ARTIST OF THE DAY :: “Instruments layer together subtly and deftly, creating an atmosphere that brings to mind the wide Western plains or old, not-quite-forgotten lovers.”

NPR, Song of the Day - “Jordanna” :: “Ola Podrida excels at creating a beautifully atmospheric mood, as well as gentle beauty that’s both spacious and deceptively complex.”

GORILLA VS. BEAR :: “They do a great job of capturing the feelings that characterize the impossibly wide expanse that is our state. This is ‘Texas Music’, in the best sense of the phrase…My first favorite of 2007.”

SAID THE GRAMOPHONE :: “The folksy calm lets the songs feel easy, lets them feel familiar; and yet deep in there, beneath the easy and familiar songs, is something more than status quo…If this were a 2006 album, it would be one of my albums of the year.”

Thanks to Outro!

Artist: 

Akron/Family
Album: River (single)
Year: 2009
Genre: freak-folk
Download: rapidshare
Buy: the omega order

“River” is the second single from Akron/Family’s 2009 release, Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free. Following the thundering and anthemic “Everyone is Guilty,” “River” returns to something they have always been known for: a timeless hook. “River” delivers Ali Farka Toure-like guitar work, but this song is all about the infectious vocal melody. Like the “Everyone is Guilty” 7-inch, “River” features an exclusive non-album b-side, the lovely “Morning on Michigan Avenue (Thinking of Old Friends).” Strictly limited edition, we advise scoring one of these slabs of vinyl now.

Midnight Juggernauts - This New Technology EP (2009)

Midnight Juggernauts are back. The first single, ‘This New Technology’ is taken from their forthcoming second full-length and is a fine example of the sound Juggers have honed since their formation in 2005. It’s electro-indie with dramatic overtones, the vocal is a bit different from usual, much more dirty sounding than I’d expected. Like most Juggernauts tracks, it will take a while to properly sink in, but once it has you’ll really appreciate it.

2009 release from the musical duo of Lucinda Chua and Chris Summerlin, who make their home in England. The focus of the album is Lucinda’s askew stories, and the subtle conversation between her piano and the guitar accompaniment of Chris Summerlin, an intuitive discussion that speaks volumes by not saying too much and while never stepping on each other’s lines. The songs themselves are delicate and spare chamber pop. They are understated and deceptively simple, but deliver an emotional impact that mere decibels cannot. Lucinda’s tales of woe concern the banality of domestic life, small animals, and the desire to keep the forces of the world at bay. You Are the One I Pick may be an album of small charms, but they come with a frequency rarely found, and are myriad in number.

Today on my lunch hour I sat in my office and watched the snow twirl outside in hard white specks, while the last of the reddish leaves fell off that huge gorgeous tree by my window. A new reader from England sent me an mp3 link to an interview author Nick Hornby gave last week on 

Robert Elms’ BBC London radio show to talk about his new movie, his new book, and the role of pop music in the world today. I queued it up, and as we neared the 28-minute mark and I heard one of my favorite authors say the name of my blog, my face turned all shades of flushed and my heart pounded with a hearty measure of disbelief.

Nick’s been extremely kind and encouraging to write about the places he finds joy in my site (like this wow!), and I love that we hear music in the same ways — but for an audiophile like me who runs an mp3 blog, hearing him talk about it with his own charming voice was really, well… the capper of my music-geek year.

I stifled a whoop lest my co-workers become suspicious, and felt humbled and very happy. I guess after Songbook and High Fidelity and the new Juliet, Naked, we can call this one even, Nick. Thanks.

Call this the Phantoms of Folk. Call this two lone wolves running together for one dark blissout of a night. Two of the finest indie-folk songwriters of the last decade come together under the Texas sky to quietly lay to tape 14 crushing, haunting tunes, leaving space enough in each to match their surroundings.


In this collaboration between Jason Molina and Will Johnson, each seem to hold the other’s talents to fire and elevate both performance and creativity. In the friendly sharing of ideas, Molina and Johnson become two poet’s poets in a workshop, aimed to craft a singular, searing elegy. Will Johnson describes this alignment of two red stars: “For ten days we wrote, co-wrote, workshopped, complimented, scrutinized, drank, invited friends to come play music, smoked, made lots of notes and drawings, drank a little more and shot the BB gun off the back porch when we just needed some time and space. In the throes of all this, our record was made in the late February sun.” The album is also abound with contributions from other fine musicians, such as Magnolia Electric Co.’s Michael Kapinus and Texas songwriter Sarah Jaffe, whose plaintive vocals “All Gone, All Gone,” accompanied by the sound of a crying saw, will stir in your gut for days. Other accomplished contributors include Howard Draper, Bryan VanDivier and Scott Danbom. Molina and Johnson will be available on Secretly Canadian November 3 in the US, and November 2 in the UK. And check out the duo’s European tour planned for late November and December. There will also be a North American tour coming in early 2010.
