Balthazar – Thin Walls (2015)

Courtney Barnett – Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit (2015)

 "...gimme all yr money and I'll make some origami, honey..."
Melbourne’s Courtney Barnett first grabbed people’s attention with her 2013 release The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, which introduced the world to her laconic indie-rock observations.
On her first album, she’s developed her shtick further and created a funny, acerbic but staunchly down-to-earth album. Comparisons could be drawn to Parquet Courts or even the early small-town musings of Alex Turner.Indeed, Depreston is a bit like A Certain Romance, crafting a story of Aussie inertia; while Elevator Operator paints a picture of LS Lowry-esque stick people as they meander in and out of her gaze.

LoneLady – Hinterland (2015)

Julie Campbell, who operates as LoneLady, hails from Manchester. You can certainly hear it in her music, which references the northern post-punk sound that birthed a Certain Ratio and Joy Division. Yet Lonelady’s second album Hinterland is far more than just a retread of her home city’s past.

The Declining Winter – Home For Lost Souls (2015)

The Declining Winter Hood co-founder Richard Adams and his The Declining Winter project return to Home Assembly Music with an impressive second album for the label, ‘Home For Lost Souls’. Taking it’s name from a hostel that Syd Barrett was alleged to have stayed at in the early ‘70’s, the album’s title points to the subject matter that concerns Adams in his songwriting.

Aidan Moffat and Bill Wells – The Most Important Place In The World (2015)

“It’s a song for the city and the secrets she hides; it’s ticking clocks and dirty dishes; it’s raising the devil on old equipment. It’s about the life we want versus the life we need – and deciding which is which.” AIDAN MOFFAT

Alex Calder – Strange Dreams (2015)

Edmontonian and former Mac DeMarco collaborator Alex Calder‘s first album, Strange Dreams, extinguishes any parallels that one may try to draw between the two former Makeout Videotape members. In 2014, a year that saw DeMarco become the celebrated prankster of indie music, Calder was hard at work developing the lo-fi, psych-pop material for his debut record. The unique brand of guitar pop plastered across Strange Dreams’ 11 tracks is an impressive collage of experimentation, rock and pop influences.
The otherworldly Strange Dreams finds Calder muddling and elucidating sounds, at times audibly akin to a lens going in and out of focus. Wah-wah pedal guitar riffs, modulated synths and relaxed vocals cohere nicely, despite peculiar melodies and sharp guitar tones.

The King Khan & BBQ Show – Bad News Boys (2015)

Montreal/Berlin doo wop garage punk duo The King Khan & BBQ show created a one-of-a-kind combination of raw energy and unexpectedly smart, simplistic melodies over the course of three incredible albums, a run that ended with 2009’s Invisible Girl. Composed of garage scene veterans Mark Sultan and Arish Ahmad Khan, their unhinged, unpolished approach to stripped-down punk-blues rompers was uniquely tempered by their knack for hooks modeled after classic soul and early R&B.
The band went through a brief break-up and had other projects during the six years that passed between Invisible Girl and its 2015 follow-up Bad News Boys, but very little has changed in their always fun, always messy songwriting formula.

Ólafur Arnalds & Alice Sara Ott – The Chopin Project (2015)

The music of Frédéric Chopin has been recorded hundreds of times before. But never like this.
The Chopin Project brings together award-winning young Icelandic pop/classical musician Ólafur Arnalds and the acclaimed German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott for an exciting new take on Chopin’s music.
Always a keen experimenter and innovator, Arnalds has constantly pushed the boundaries of music.
With The Chopin Projecthe not only reworks the beautiful melodies of Chopin but also reimagines the traditional recording style of classical piano music. Ott’s performances were recorded on a variety of pianos in different locations in Reykjavik, using vintage equipment to create a very close-up and intimate texture of sound.

Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell (2015)

Najbolji...Najnezniji...Najintimniji...
... Album Of The Month ...
In the nearly five years since Sufjan Stevens released The Age of Adz, he’s worked with the ballet, scored a rodeo documentary, released more Christmas music, and released an album and EP with his side project Sisyphus. This year, he’s releasing a new full-length. Carrie & Lowell is out March 30 via Asthmatic Kitty.
According to a press release, the album was named for Stevens’ mother and stepfather, and its 11 songs are about “life and death, love and loss, and the artist’s struggle to make sense of the beauty and ugliness of love.” It’s also billed as a return to Stevens’ “folk roots,” according to the press release.
Collaborators on the album include Casey Foubert, Laura Veirs, Nedelle Torrisi, Sean Carey, Ben Lester, and Thomas Bartlett.

The White Birch – The Weight of Spring (2015)

In August 2006, Norwegian band The White Birch played what seemed at the time to be their final show, and broke up after ten years and four albums together. The band survived, though, in the heart and mind of Ola Fløttum, who refused to forsake the band. He began composing music for films, learning bit by bit how to accompany pictures with his music. He describes his time since the band’s break-up: “It has taken nine years, many songs have been thrown out the window before I eventually found my 12 chosen ones. During these years I’ve lost my mother, started a family, raised two kids, and bought a house in Oslo were I’ve recorded most of the album in the basement.”
The resultant music takes the form of sometimes almost unnoticeable tones and soundscapes.

Steve Gunn & The Black Twig Pickers – Seasonal Hire (2015)

... The Blue Bus Is Calling Us ...

Steve Gunn and The Black Twig Pickers are key figures in the current resurgence of American traditional and folk music. Gunn’s songwriting and inventive guitar playing are driven by his restless mind, having released 9 solo and collaborative albums and appeared as a guest on nearly as many since his debut in 2007. The Black Twig Pickers play a fervent form of traditional music from their Appalachian homeland. The group performs often forgotten traditional songs, especially from their Virginia stomping-ground, creating a living history of old time music.Seasonal Hire, their first full-length collaborative release, combines Gunn’s circular, meditative guitar playing with the Twigs’ energetic mastery of old time instrumentation in a purely acoustic environment resulting in a warm, energetic, and exceptional album.

Ja cekao sam neki novi dan i cekao sam neku toplu noc cekao sam prolece da me odnese

Ja ću im se javiti u snu ili na javi
Ja ću im pokazati kako kruže sazvežđa 
Predugo smo pričali a nije bilo ni važno 
U svom našem sećanju svako ima jedan zrak

Matthew E. White, 'Fresh Blood'
