Been meaning to look into these guys ages ago but I'm happy I finally did, another artist has been added to my ever expanding collection of "Gothic Country" which makes me feel very happy. The album I was able to obtain "Chasing Locusts" was brilliantly executed with a good blend of rock and country with the dark song writing that drew me into the genre.

Following up
Strawfoot wasn't easy, but I was recommended this band from last.fm and I didn't even bother to listen before finding the album and buying it (yes that's right I BOUGHT it). First of all, the cover for the album is an amazing drawing, so much that lucifer_sam asked me to send it to him. While a bit more rock based than
Strawfoot,
Creech Holler have made me a fan and I will be on the lookout for the rest of their stuff.

London based DJ, composer, and producer, Adam Harper really wowed me with this 4 song EP. Some of the most beautifully done Trip Hop that I`ve heard in awhile, I really gotta give it up this guy, I cannot wait for his new EP to drop on June 15th, mark your calender!

I got this courtesy of Sidewinder in the weekly music trade and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was more trip hop than anything else, but it managed to keep my attention, which is something trip hop doesn`t always do. For the most part instrumental, which was cool because most of the instrumental hip hop stuff I get is Japanese but this was Canadian so it had a more Western edge to it if that makes any sense at all. Enjoyed it very much and will definitely look up more stuff by this guy.
