This morning, the sun is slowly rolling out of bed to wash over the cold ground from our volatile winter. Tea Leigh out of Boston releases another lo-fi folk treat through her soundcloud page. You can find a dozen gems on there. On this one titled “Left Behind” its particularly sad. She sings about death potential, and suggests not to give up. We all are better served to believe in love, and faith, and companionship. As she has in the past, Tea reveals the beauty of the little things,”love is like a school yard, you dared me to do it” she sings on “Left Behind.” I couldn’t agree more, I remember those days running free without the worry and responsibility. Good Morning to you all. This one goes well with the calm relaxing view outside your window, with a dark brew carrying through the house. Well done lady.

There’s a certain charm to this band, a care free yet dedicated act whose music reminds me of something out of a romantic coming of age tale, where the couple is running through the city trying to find one another. Tomahawk of Praise LP/CD January 17, 2012 on Fork & Spoon Records!

Miss Mary Mac by Tea Leigh

If you’re lucky enough like I was, you’ll find little gems through the bushels of wire and tricks in the vast world of musical production. I stumbled across Tea Leigh out of Boston, and right away I was struck with how wonderful this sound felt. It came at a perfect time, looking for something subtle to get me away from it all. The night comes and fire burns with this wonderful music.

A gift from the people at Eaters Guild Farm.

“The Nomadic Firs bring psychedelic pop through a bedroom of reflection with their fun colors dipped in a garden of sound.”

~ June Wright with the Indie Lead

Nomadic Firs free internet album on ReverbNation is available for download. Their first full length album will be coming out in the summer. This should hold you over until then. The free download comes with eight tracks that have been recorded over the last three years. The lead single is called Heady May, and it will be on this summers release. The album is  being mastered by the father and son duo at Sonic Bloom recordings out of Michigan.

I Don’t Speak For My Church by Nomadic Firs

Surfing around on soundcloud, I came across a hidden gem. Empty Chairs are out of Brooklyn, and are responsible for this amazing sound. So much good music out there just waiting to be discovered. The Empty Chairs make a memorable impression, and provide an essential spice to any mixture on your player. The Sleeper of the week series is back, check it out!! Eyelashes by Empty Chairs
