The Birds Over Arkansas have “So Much Sky” To Sing About

KoralYoungLogo1birds-over-arkansas

The Folk/Americana group Birds Over Arkansas is sharing with the ComicPop listeners their single “So Much Sky” .  Scott Haskitt and Laura Hartshorn blend really well and have strong voices that don’t get lost within the instrumentals.  Scott also plays guitar and Laura is the keyboardist of the group along with John Mondick on guitar, mandolin, and vocals and Ryan Berg on drums and percussion.  With this single I like everything, but what they did at the beginning was my cup of tea.  It sounds like they are emulating a vinyl record that is scratchy.  This is nostalgic to some, but for me I like the nice clean crisp music and after the first 40ish seconds that is what the listener gets in spades.  All in all this is a solid piece and look forward to hearing more from them.  Birds Over Arkansas have the album this single is on scheduled to be released later this year, but as of this time I do not have the information of the album’s title.  Until their album becomes available here is Birds over Arkansas’ “So Much Sky” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Oblio is sharing with our listeners again their latest single, “Lilly”.  “Lilly” hits one of my many sweet spots.  It is a really nice paced folk/americana single, that is from their Autophobia album.  Just after a couple of listens I was able to pick up the lyrics and have a fun time singing along with them.  To me if a song can get you to sing along with it then the artist have definitely hit upon something.  Take a moment and sing along with Oblio with their single “Lilly” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Patrick Krief’s Lyric Video for “Deo Gratias”

KoralYoungLogo1krief

Patrick Krief is sharing with the ComicPop Library listeners his latest lyric video for his single “Deo Gratias”.  “Deo Gratias” is a hauntingly beautiful introspective single.  How Patrick relays the lyrics and the sway of the music captures you in its simplicity and almost makes the listener almost ache, but in a good way.  The lyric video was directed by Christopher Mills of Modest Mouse.  The video keeps that same simplistic feel, but is haunting with it being done in black and white.  Really nice work done by both artists.  Patrick will be dropping a double album, automanic blue, at the end of September that will include this single so keep an eye out at your digital vendors for it.  Until then enjoy Patrick Krief’s lyric video for “Deo Gratias” through his YouTube page – Richard:
