This is the cool music I found this week by following random twitter links, meeting folks at open mics,  etc.

Space Ghost Cowboys

a.k.a Space God Cowboys?

This was the only outstanding band I found this week because I spent the whole week listening to last weeks finds  …mainly The Uglysuit who are so enjoyable.  That said, Space Ghost Cowboys was another great find.   I listened to their latest album  ”The  Sad Album” which I got from Aaron directly.  (I met Aaron playing at an open mic night at Lucy’s Lounge hosted by Petey “Hop” Hopkins).    The music is stylized in a Will Oldham sense meaning you know that you have heard something distinctive, eclectic.   The genre fits the voice, the voice fits the song, the voice fits the lyrics.  Simple and lyrical, soulful and just cool with a morsel of muted trumpet which is a nice surprise.  I love the rough twang escalating to emotional moments that are just perfectly and purposefully every so slightly off key and then diminish slowly back into key (violent femmes like) .

I owe Aaron $10 which I will willing give up when next I see him.

http://www.reverbnation.com/aloomens – Varied types of music, well produced.  Listen to “Going In Circles (Featuring Emi)” for country/folk sound.  Lovely voice on this track.  Rest of the music is well product… not 100% for me but they sell well on ITunes!
