Murder by Death & Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers

This was a really great discovery. She has a classic voice, great phrasing, great songs... I'm slightly less convinced about the band -- I could use a bit less pedal steel, for instance, but that might be personal prejudice. Good stuff.

Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers - S/T

"Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?" has been on rotation extremely heavily these last 4 or 5 weeks. Its an absolutely amazing album. Old time-y piano and a story of the Devil getting shot in the back after a night of drinking in a dusty Texas town and subsequently said Devil wiping the small town off the map entirely.

Buffalo Artist Profile: Son of the Sun

I got my hands on an early copy of the album that will be released in a few days.

It's a pretty solid album with a good sound. No particular song has really stood out for me, but each is a good song. Nothing groundbreaking here, but nice to know my city can still turn out some good sound.
