The Music of Matt and Kim

So one day here I am sitting on the couch watching the tube and all of a sudden here comes this great sounding tune from a commerical. After about 20 minutes searching I finally found out the name of the band and song and to my enjoyment their music.

Matt and Kim are like nothing you have heard before but their music is almost like watching a painting appear before you eyes. Hard to pin down a genre on this one but you know what, I don’t need to.

The Music of The Dodos

Visiter by San Francisco band The Dodos is their second full length and first for Frenchkiss. Originally formed in 2006 under the moniker Dodobird as a one man acoustic act, Meric Long would gig around SF playing folky guitar w/ a combination of loops and ambient keyboards. Having already studied West African Ewe drumming, Meric got turned onto country blues fingerpicking and sought to create a band where the drumming could be a center role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar.

The Art of Adam Stennett

The Music of Nataly Dawn

Nataly says, “Nataly Dawn started off in L.A., moved to France at the age of ten, spent a few years in Belgium and then scurried on back to California to persue an “education” in “art” and “French Literature.”

She makes music as often as possible, to keep herself sane and happy. She dabbles around with piano, guitar and bass (her favorite instrument), but does not consider herself an expert at any of them. Mostly she enjoys singing and inventing odd harmonies.

Recently she has gotten into the youtube music movement thanks to her boyfriend, jack conte (myspace.com/jackconte, youtube.com/jackcontemusic), and together they have started a collaboration called pomplamoose (myspace.com/pomplamoosemusic, youtube.com/pomplamoosemusic). nataly is still in denial about wanting to be a full-time musician, but deep down inside she knows that there is nothing that makes her happier than making art and sharing it with lovely listeners such as yourself. ” Link

The Music of Cloud Cult

Since 1995, Cloud Cult have crafted sprawling, cathartic albums that have won them the attention of the New York Times, MTV, Spin, Billboard, and a devoted following of fans.

Despite offers from major labels, Cloud Cult has chosen to remain independent, recording and releasing their albums through Earthology Records, a not-for-profit environmental record label established by Minowa in 1998. On a self-funded shoe-string budget they have achieved top 20 CMJ radio charting for all of their last three albums, a domain usually reserved for the SubPops and Merges of the world.

As one of the pioneering “Green bands” of the modern indie-rock world, Cloud Cult has backed up their open-hearted songs with green action for over a decade. Link
