New Indigenous Music Releases – May 2012
Another month of Indigenous music! Here are four new releases from The Medics, Holly McNarland, Burnt Project 1 and Arvel Bird.
The Medics have released their much anticipated debut LP Foundations. In the two years since the release of their first EP they have gained a reputation for passionate and energetic live performances and it seems they’ve managed to bottle that vibe nicely here. With a “frenetic mix of distorted guitar and wall of dominant percussion” (indieshuffle.com) it’s a brilliant album from one of Australia’s brightest new bands. Order the CD or Get it on iTunes.

Samantha Crain: On the Road & A Simple Jungle
BY: Christa Couture // RPMChoctaw singer-songwriter Samantha Crain is on the road again – a long road that will see her performing over 20 gigs in the next six weeks and take her across the Atlantic ocean. She’ll have her band in tow and her brand new 7″ single in hand.
The new single, A Simple Jungle, gets its name from the two new songs it features, It’s Simple(I’m thrilled to see this recorded after seeing Samantha perform it live last summer at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and loving it instantly) and Cadwell Jungle, both produced by famed singer-songwriter and producer John Vanderslice. Crain’s indie-friendly spin on Americana continues to shine on A Simple Jungle, which also includes a live recording of the Dam Song. Amazon.com has already picked it as one of their best of 2012 and you can get your copy here.
As I write this, Samantha Crain has already started her latest tour, but the bulk of the dates are still coming up! She’s on a long stretch through the States, and will also be performing in Ireland, England and France. If you find yourself in any of these towns on these dates, I highly recommend getting your ears and heart to her show!
