I’m always hesitant when I see an artist compared to another artist so frequently. And my hesitation was at a pretty high level when I hit play on the James Vincent McMorrow album for the first time. I’m a big fan of the work Justin Vernon has done in the past few years under the Bon Iver guise.

If you like your guitars thick and drony, you probably will love Surf City. The New Zealand based band has just released a new record, and it’s flying way below the radar.

Welcome to a new feature on Each Note Secure we like to call “Reclaimed.” This feature will focus on an album of the past, maybe 30 years ago, or maybe 3 years ago.

I miss going out to shows, the life of a family man can make that difficult at times. Add to it the winter touring schedule that has come through Cincinnati, and it becomes quite a drought for live music for me personally. So …

When it comes to singer / songwriter types, the other guys here know to pass an album my way for consumption. So when music from Pennsylvania’s Damien DeRose crossed our radar, I was an obvious choice to give the album a spin. Damien goes by the guise ‘Peasant‘ on stage …
