The U & U Show 395 | #SXSW 2015 Preview 2 of 6
OnlyReal : Can't Get Happy : Jerk At
The End Of The Line (2015)
-
2nd
single from his just announced debut LP.
-
No
title for the album yet, but it is already one of my most anticipated albums of
2015.
-
Over
the past couple years Niall Galvin has released some of the catchiest indie pop
under his OnlyReal moniker.
-
SXSW
2015.
Father John Misty : Heart Shaped Box
(Nirvana Cover) (2015)
-
J
Tillman's 2nd album under this alias, 'I Love You, Honeybear', was just out.
-
Former
member of the Fleet Foxes who hasn’t really put out any solo work that's
impressed me until his Father John Misty work.
-
Big
Jason Molina feeling to the slower tracks on this album.
-
SXSW
2015?

The U & U Show 390 | New Sufjan!
Sufjan Stevens : Carrie and Lowell : Carrie and Lowell (2015)
-
I believe it's
officially his forthcoming 6th album, but he's also but out numerous other
compilations and releases from side projects.
-
One of the most talented
musicians that I've been able to enjoy every step of the way.
-
This first teaser sounds
like a hope-elevating return to his early stripped back folk days.
Iron and Wine : Everyone's Summer of '95 : Archive Series Volume No. 1
(2015)
-
First in a series of
albums comprised of unreleased music.
-
This song is a great
reminder of the incredible rough, raw folk Sam Beam did early on.
