advent, advent #9th tactile, temperate, melodious = lean back in december

benjamin francis leftwich

"rebellion" (arcade fire cover)
"atlantic city"(bruce springsteen cover)"
(download a unique cover ep
including two above via bandpage)


"more than letters"
"atlas hands demo"
(i prefer the demo even more than the orginal
`cause his voice is kind of stronger to the fore)

a man called benjamin francis leftwich. for several reasons i have focussed my ears on the york-based guy. first of all i heard some talented folk-voice in connection with an unobstrusive but subtle precision grounded arcade fire "rebellion" recovering i couldn`t expected.

fortunately he later fell into my hands again. in great anticipation on the basis of an intimate evening session in february 2012 at the unhurried atomic café in munich music lovers will be able to listen to his live abilities in the near future. currently he`s being annouced as an optimally well-oiled stage opening for ben cooper and his accompanying music friends - widely known as radical face. together with their marked-down folk-/indieopop sound fogs both bands are going to give proof of their unbelievable talent of never dying soulmates for sure. tactile, temperate, melodious. music lovers, please take place!

as kind of further auditory foretaste that will do...

excuse me, i have a question...

sharon, oh sharon!

new york based singer-songwriter sharon van etten will release her third album "tramp" in february next year. "serpents" is the first single-release, which blow my mind not only by this song but also by the b-side "mike mc dermont". it's craggy like the breakers and dinky like a chocolaite-crossaint...

i`ve actually no permission for a subtle acoustic version on our blog (apart from the vimeo.com link of course). therefor a further incredible nugget of copenhagen`s subtle talents. terrific well.

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?

yeah!
all you lucky people on friday night in kentish town in the london borough of camden! what a colourful coming back on tour i wouldn`t dream of such a thing! probably their music-genre casts it feathers to the spearhead of britain´s metropolis in the near future...
as band manager jason thomas is in the habit of saying, cheers again! essex rules britannia!

ambitious. bracing. an exhilarating coherent intro combined with a high level of vocal backbone and smashing guitars. a massive energizing performing of `the boiler room ep` lead track "get along" makes the day again.

of course bandscheibenrecords put out feelers and perk up its ears, if any appearance of these brilliant guys swashes on the surface, `cause we`ve been still proud of having you hosted for first guest performance in germany ever and wont`forget that till the day you `coming home` again. we do! all get along, get along!

and to bring up older more than worthwhile memories, here`s a very keen and sublime acustic one by richard judge, who remains robert levon been from black rebel motrocycle club by his heartwarming attitude. turn up the volume and let`s have the blues!
