IR SoCal Album Release: Still Time – See America

June 29, 2009

As a nice audial cannonball into Summer, we’ve got a handful of tracks from San Luis Obispo roots-rock group STILL TIME’s newest album “See America” which were recently passed along into our greedy little hands.

Just a short week back or so, we featured the first single from this album, “Come Alive” over at our Daily Dose feed – and have three more tracks we’d like to present to you here; a nice cross-section of the album, but certainly not the only quality tracks therein.

SAMPLER TRACKS
1) 27
2) Tedd the Monster
3) The Girl I’ve Always Loved

DOWNLOAD | SUBSCRIBE

See America is a musically diverse album full of instrospective lyrics, amazing musicianship and thoughtful well structured compositions from front to end. The thematic vision of the album is appropriately topped off with a notable quote by mid-20th-century politician and diplomat Adlai Stevenson, underneath the plastic CD mount:

“When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England Hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect.”

June 23, 2009

IR: Motor city is back again for another interview episode – this episode is an interview with Mikal, a great up and coming indie artist from South East Michigan! This was a fun interview, it was a pleasure to talk with Mikal. He is also playing live in Redford Michigan at Bullfrog on June 28th, 2009 (sponsored by The Olin Ezra Show, another great Detroit podcast!) – which I will also be attending!

Mikal has received 24 Detroit Music Award nominations, including 16 in one year, which has only been accomplished by one other artist.

Mikal’s pre-debut release, the acoustic EP “Only Enemies Tell The Truth… Friends And Enemies Lie Endlessly” is now available on iTunes for only $1.99.
