Mellow Music Group continues to drop fire. This time Seattle producer Def Dee links up with his emcee ace since Junior High Zar for this free Zulu Delta EP. The result is some pure 1996-inspired Hip Hop.

“Getting creative was the easy part… I was just trying to express my own personal interpretation of Hip-Hop,” says Zar, “This Ep was intended to show that there still exists classic lyricists.”

Tim Pritchard & The Boxcar Suite release new album, join The Alwood Sisters & The Kyle Sowashes in Columbus this weekend

For well over a decade, Tim Pritchard has been a figure of Dayton, Ohio’s historic music scene. These days, he’s fronting a new folk-rock band called Tim Pritchard & The Boxcar Suite. The group recently released the gorgeous and plaintive It Shall Be Revealed and is leaving the Gem City more and more.

While The Boxcar Suite certainly possesses folk elements, the music steers clear of cliché methods employed by many in this camp. It Shall Be Revealed is not trite Americana, but rather a collection of graceful songs influenced by time-honored traditions.

Broken, melancholic, and beautiful, Tim Pritchard & The Boxcar Suite sound like Richard Buckner fronting a heavier-hitting Byrds. There is no reinventing the wheel on It Shall Be Revealed and that’s exactly what gives the album its curative nature.

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Joel Oliphint | Comments Off

The folks behind the Nelsonville Music Festival announced more bands for the fest’s 2013 incarnation taking place May 30 – June 2. Calexico, a band I’ve been pining to see in Ohio for quite some time, will join the previously announced headliners Wilco and John Prine, plus Reigning Sound, Cotton Jones, Nick Tolford and more.

Weekend passes for the fest are on sale now, and if you order this week, you’ll also get a free ticket to the Cabin Fever Festival at Nelsonville’s Stuart’s Opera House this Saturday (1/19), featuring the best lineup this one-night mini fest has boasted in the past four years: Freakwater, Cotton Jones, Columbus ex-pat Tim Easton and Columbus’s very own Dolfish (Cleveland isn’t allowed to claim him as their own quite yet). To take advantage of that offer, just email tickets@nelsonvillefest.org. For Cabin Fever tickets alone it’s $15, but students (OSU, OU, CCAD, Capital, etc.) can get them for $10.

Or… want a free pair? Email contestdonewaiting@gmail.com with the subject GIMME CABIN FEVER by Thursday.

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Wes Flexner | Comments Off

Earth People, Dan the Automator’s new project Pillowfight with talented singer Emily Wells is the business if you mess with soulful pop musics. The new song Used To Think is especially good because the singer is talking shit and going in on a former lover.

(consequenceofsound)

The Pillowfight Album drops digitally and on CD on 1/22/13 and Vinyl is due on 2/26/13 via Bulk Recordings. It features the help of Kid Koala and Lateef The Truthspeaker. Album art by David Choe.
