Yeasayer – Take Away Show

by Alex 30 August 2010 Video

This has got to be one of the more amusing sessions recorded by Vincent Moon of La Blogotheque, not least because up until recording the session he was not convinced by Yeasayer.

The sisters recorded their second full-length this winter with producer Taylor Kirk and accompanying [...]

Cotton Jones

by Alex 26 August 2010 Uncategorized

A new arrival on the station is Cotton Jones. The music of Cotton Jones speaks of transition: the passage from one form, state of mind, style or place to another.
