  Winter Grit – EP Ane Bjerkan Norway | Folk/Ambient This EP is not due out until February 9, but I had the awesome opportunity to preview it before it drops. With a similar vocal quality to that of Bjork’s at times, Ane Bjerkan is unmistakably her own conceptual artist with a niche for haunting, solemn tunes.

Slowly Collapsing Star evokes so much emotion that it is quite difficult to put into words. I had read a … Continue reading Meh or Yeh Album Reviews

SPOTLIGHT: Vietnam

abigailpixler5452

Vietnam is a country known for it’s beautiful landscape and beautiful people, and it just so happens to have some pretty spectacular musical acts as well.

Their rock scene and other genres may be lacking at the moment, but what lacks in that area is easily made up for in the pop music realm. Take a look at who we consider to be Vietnam’s current pioneers in music for their next generation … Continue reading SPOTLIGHT: Vietnam
