Town Hall: Sticky Notes & Paper Scraps

Here Comes The Flood — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:28:00 GMT

Pastoral folk with luscious harmonies from Brooklyn. Town Hall have just released their second EP Sticky Notes & Paper Scraps. They recorded at Mason Jar Music, a studio that goes analog in a digital age. This old school approach fit their tunes like a glove. They brought in some friends to handle percussion, brass, woodwinds and strings to add texture, but they focus on their core qualities: acoustic guitar and harmonizing. Phoebe Ryan and Stefan Weiner share lead vocal duties, keeping it intimate and turning it up when they step up to the mike for a duet.

A full-length will be released on March 12. Recommended if you like Kingsley Flood and Richard Thompson

Town Hall:
Stefan Weiner: vocals, mandolin
Phoebe Ryan: vocals, omnichord, guitar
Jesse Kranzler: guitar, banjo

Sticky Notes & Paper Scraps is a self-released album. Buy it (pay-what-you-want) from the band's website.

Tracks:

Just Watching My Breath
Alright
Pandora
Mary A. Longden
Charlie

Mary A. Longden by Town Hall

Live date:

02/23 NYU’s Ultra Violet Live, New York, NY @ Skirball Center

Town Hall post quite a lot of cover songs on their website. Stefan Weiner is an avid 78 RPM collector and when he picked uyp Old Man Duff by Frankie Marvin, the band decided to cover it using an omnichord (Eighties gizmo) to update the sound a bit.

Terry Radigan: The Breakdown of a Breakup

Here Comes The Flood — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:59:00 GMT

photo: Craig Blankenhorn

NYC singer Terry Radigan broke up with the guy after a 20-uear relationship. Her new labum The Breakdown of a Breakup serves a therapy set to music: eleven songs about grief, loss and anger. Recorded at the Catherine the Great studio Radigan switches between soft-spoken jazzy tunes (Beautiful Lie, brass-driven music hall ( Mistake), country (I Dont'Feel Like That) and even a NOLA vibe (Voodoo).

With her lightly husky voices, sounding as mix between Karin Bergquist (Over The Rhine) and Bonnie Raitt, she analyses what went wrong, being pretty pissed that her guy slept with another woman. The wounds are still healing, but Radigan is ready to move forward, proudly proclaiming that she is Not Giving Up On Love. She picked Valentine's Day as the release date for her album, a nice touch to tell the world she is back in business.

The Breakdown of a Breakup is released on Catherine the Great Records. Buy it from her website. Release date: February 14th.

Tracks:

Love Would'n't Lie To Me
Emily
Beautiful Lie
Mistake
Voodoo
I Dont'Feel Like That
Siamese Twin
Every Now & Then
The Truth
Under My Wheels
Not Giving Up On Love

(Mistake by Terry Radigan)

Live date:

02/17 New York, NY @ The Dominion Theater

Anders Chriss: Enough Said

Here Comes The Flood — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:11:00 GMT

Swedish singer and multi-instrumentalist Anders Chriss releases his new single Enough Said on February 29. His hoarse voice melts into his New Wave inspired guitar lines. A mid-tempo rocker slowly picking up speed. He might pay a bit more attention to the mix, enhancing the rather tinny percussion.

Enough Said is released on A Tale Untold.
