Video of the Day #80: Matti Jasu & The Loose Train

Matti Jasu wrote a lot of amazing pop songs for Goodnight Monsters and I’ve been eagerly waiting his new material. Now the wait is almost over. Matti Jasu will perform at Flavour of the Month on friday 2nd of december with his new band and today this cool video of a song called Fingers Crossed appeared. Fingers crossed that the Matti Jasu & The Loose Train album will soon hit the stores and our hearts. I’m 100% sure that it’s going to be awesome.

New songs from Carmen & The Devil

Carmen & The Devil, The finest Finnish country/folk duo has some new songs for you. You might have heard these new Carmen & The Devil originals on their stunningly beautiful live concerts during the recent months, but now they’ve added the songs to their Soundcloud as well (there’s also a limited edition cassette that contains these new tunes, but that might be a bit tricky to find). This wonderful band will be mostly investigating the Austrian old time country scene for the next couple of years, but let’s hope they manage to get that debut album done and dusted sometime during 2012. That’s going to be a thing of beauty. The new songs are Tell-Tale Heart and Row Row and you’ll find them below. Hit the soundcloud link, if you haven’t heard the older ones, because those are equally amazing.

Roger Joseph Manning Jr. appears on the upcoming Esa Linna single

Esa Linna is getting ready to release a debut single She’s Not A Human Being in the coming months and a debut album is scheduled to be released later in 2012. This is already great news as it is, because Esa is definitely capable of stitching together awesome pop tunes. However, there’s also one minor (well major) detail that adds a truckload of excitement on top of it all. Pop wizard Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish etc) will play keys and sing harmonies on She’s Not A Human Being. That’s cooler than Alain Delon in Le Samourai.
