More Low Down On Music

[jazzy_dave]

One thing i really like about LJ is the wonderful music other people post that i have not heard of before and thanks to lilchiva here is a haunting song -

Gaelynn Lea - Someday We'll Linger In The Sun

This is an original song by Gaelynn Lea entitled "Someday We'll Linger in the Sun". Gaelynn Lea is a musician, fiddle teacher, and public speaker from Duluth, MN/

Talking of Duluth here is one of my favourite bands from that town -

Low - Just Make It Stop

Low is an American indie rock group from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in 1993. As of 2010, the group is composed of founding members Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals), joined by newer addition Steve Garrington (bass guitar).

The music of Low is characterized by slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. Early descriptions sometimes referred to it as the rock subgenre called "slowcore". However, Low's members ultimately disapproved of the term.

Parker and Sparhawk's striking vocal harmonies represent perhaps the group's most distinctive element; critic Denise Sullivan writes that their shared vocals are "as chilling as anything Gram and Emmylou ever conspired on—though that's not to say it's country-tinged, just straight from the heart."

Nice collection of songs. The first one was great and haunting. reminds me of another artist but I cannot recall the name right now. Tiny desk concert has many good little known artists.

For an out of the way community of its size, Duluth has a surprisingly great local music scene. There is a pretty wide variety of genres too, from the folk with Charlie Parr and The Suburbs with rock and Trampled By Turtles somewhere in the middle as well as the awesome folks you've got here. Long, cold winters have to be good for something. 8-)

Hey, I should probably comment, since I've been listening to this all day. I listened to the concert at the college twice, lol.

Thanks for posting!
