JulesUm einiges schwächer als das Debut. Die Songs bleiben immer noch nicht hängen. Hat im Vergleich zum ersten Höreindruck (**) aber deutlich zugelegt…

Vielleicht muß ich die doch haben. Ich schlaf‘ nochmal ’ne Nacht drüber.

firecracker
und dann find‘ ich diese hier noch ziemlich gut bis gut: travis, andrew bird, wilco, arcade fire, willy mason, the cinematics, joyside, bloc party, klaxons, jamie t … aber kann und möchte sie (noch) nicht in eine reihenfolge bringen. und es kommen ja eh noch „easy tiger“, the coral und ein neues patrick park-album….

Wer ist Patrick Park?

tina toledoEin kalifornischer Singer-Songwriter mit sehr schönem Debut und zwei sehr okayen EPs.

Danke, Tina. Klingt gar nicht mal schlecht. Ich mag gefühlvollen Pop-Folk.
