Dedicated Ears Legal / Free Album/ep List

Nice folk from Buenos Aires. Both male and female lead and more on the folk with some of the influences of more recognizable Brazilian music. Luz de amour is my favorite track. Thanks to the band for the download.

Some 90's Seattle sound influence for you. Thanks to The Guppies.

Electronic glitch with hip hop beats. Cool stuff from Sydney. Thanks to Thomas for the free download!

You can file this under the stragest thing you'll ever see for a Christmas album. They have appropriated Christmas classics and inserted life on the Juniper Creek Compound, yes that one from that tv show. How about Harry Dean Stanton reading a unique take on The Night Before Christmas.

A Juniper Creek Christmas - A Juniper Creek Christmas  is a free download on last.fm.

Electronic, exp, dream pop from Melbourne, Australia based Wizard Oz. Thanks to Wizard Oz for the download!

Have you ever wondered what you might get if you crossed Johnny Cash with Nick Cave? I bet the result would sound quite a bit like Declan de Barra. Not only does he tell his song narratives similar to Nick and Johnny, but he can sound similar to each one at different times on this brooding album that goes by the name Fragments, Footprint, and the Forgotten. Born and raised in Ireland, Declan has recently moved to Los Angeles. He record his first three albums in Ireland and it will be interesting to see how his move here affects his music.



"Call To Arms" opens the album and could easily be playing in the background an updated Western movies that show the truly tough conditions in the most visceral way.
In "Midnight Swell" Declan uses the higher range of his voice that is a welcome surprise upon first listen.
The rebel persona of Johnny Cash appears on the song "Fuck The Begrudgers". The dirty guitar and angry delivery of the vocals make for a rollicking track.
The lyrics and arrangements of this are never are too far from Irish folk music. Declan did everything but master this music. Because of this there is a consistency to this and much of the production is straight forward.


Thanks to DC from the The Waiting Room Radio Show for the tip on this cool album. The Waiting Room is an unbelievably source of great music you've never heard of The podcast is free on i-Tunes.
