Shana Cleveland, David Kilgour, Sally Fowler, and The Woolly Moon

Here's about a half-hour of songs I've been diggin' this week, all from the vast and unmapped
Bandcamp catalog. I'm most excited about discovering Shana Cleveland's music, which I clicked on merely because of the cover art. If you want to hear more by any of these artists and perhaps buy their music, click on their Bandcamp urls at the bottom, which'll take you to their homepage.

Midget! Minisnap!

Lovely, mysterious song by new Belgian duo, Midget! From their debut EP, Lumière d'en Bas. New Zealand's MINISNAP seems to be New Zealand's The Bats, but shuffled around and performing songs by guitarist Kaye Woodward. "New Broom" sounds like springtime and it's the only pop song I can think of featuring Andean charango as a rhythm instrument...

Group Of The Altos, Milwaukee

Group Of The Altos (or 'Altos') are a 12-piece band from Milwaukee. Saw them live at the Rubber City Noise Cave in Akron, Ohio, about a month ago. There were a few guitarists, two drummers, a bassist, keyboardist, violinist, violist, and two trumpeters. Everyone in the band seems to sing. "never named" is my favorite track off their self-titled debut. Nice recording, by the way.

I should mention that I preview new music on the terrible computer speakers or using earbuds, but if it holds my interest, I patch it in to my mid-'80s stereo and listen on good Bose speakers.
