Saboteur By Gardening, Not Architecture

Gardening, Not Architecture is the product of one very persistent and talented veteran of the scene, Sarah Saturday. Her latest album, “Saboteur,” came out in November and is filled with soft rock-electric indie bliss. The first time I saw Sarah live I was completely captivated and convinced. At times “Saboteur” reminds me of early Tegan and Sara meets progressive Uh Huh Her. Overall, the finished product is close to perfect.

As if the release of “Saboteur” wasn’t enough, Miss Saturday has released a fun, experimental project that she calls “The Florida Sessions.” She spent two weeks alone in Florida and began recording demos, posting them to her site. “It’s my shorter-term and less-intense version of Bon Iver’s stint in a northern Wisconsin cabin that produced For Emma, Forever Ago”, says Sarah. You can find “The Florida Sessions” at her soundcloud- http://soundcloud.com/sarahsaturday as well as www.gardeningnotarchitecture.com. Join the mailing list so you can receive updates and all kinds of tunes!

Sarah Saturday is a driving force in our music scene. She remains so true and genuine to not only herself but to her listeners. She has been an inspiration to myself and a model for so many others on following your dreams and sometimes just throwing ambition to the wind! Pick up “Saboteur” on Itunes and check out “The Florida Sessions” today!

There I Go

by Spencer Walters
album There I Go

There I Go by Spencer Walters

It’s hard to believe that Spencer Walters is only 19 years old. Hailing from Chicago, Walters started putting out his own acoustic tracks after his band fell apart. A mix of soft acoustics with a little country folk twang, Walters is showing promising potential that lacks in so many up and coming artists. Look him up on Itunes and follow him on twitter @spencerwalters

Mary and Jane (clean cut)

by Erica Shea Lysdal
album Demo

Mary and Jane by Shea Lysdal

Erica Shea Lysdal is a 21 year old female emcee hailing from Reno, NV and currently residing in Portland, OR. She mixes her own beats, produces, and writes everything all on her own. With influences from all over, Shea brings an Owl City meets underground hip hop supreme feel. Many of her tracks feature her spitting over acoustics and over heavy psychedelic beats. Shea’s music is something so far unique, you won’t find it any other place. A female emcee, singer, and songwriter’ doing the unheard of. Her latest single, “Mary and Jane,” a tribute to feeling free and lighting one up. We’ve made the track available for FREE download, here: http://soundcloud.com/ruldope10/mary-and-jane-clean-cut

Come Back Home by The Icarus Account

Hailing from Florida comes The Icarus Account.  Making up this pop rock duo are twin brothers, Ty and Trey Turner.  Their acoustics are sappy, emotional love songs done with quality.  I enjoy their full band stuff much better but their new acoustic EP, “Sunshine and Rain,” is available for free download at purevolume.com.
