“Joy”
The more I listen to the latest Iron & Wine release, the more I love it. This song is so playful and beautiful and the music video is a work of art that really adds to the experience:
Hear the entire new Iron & Wine album, Ghost On Ghost, TONIGHT at 9PM – it’s mvyradio’s album of the week!

“My Time”
We’ve been playing this single at mvyradio and it’s really been growing on me as I hear it more and more. There’s a lightness to it that’s perfect for summer. Today I checked out the music video and I’m so glad I did! It’s extremely cute and funny…makes me want to dig deeper into this Austin-based band’s catalog.

“Marathon Men”
Four weeks ago today, the Boston Marathon bombings captured the nation’s attention. Local singer/songwriter Alex Karalekas was inspired to write this song after he heard about bombings. He recorded the tune here on Martha’s Vineyard at The Print Shop.

The other day I revisited my NEW Music Preview posts and cursed myself for not keeping up with them. I think they’re a super efficient way for me to pass on new music – less than 3 minutes of audio introduces you to 4 new tracks from some VERY different artists. With a little nudge from my boss, I made one for you today…hopefully one of many more to come!
Artists featured in this NEW Music Preview:
Lissie
James Cotton
Jason Isbell
The Boxer Rebellion

“Roots & Vine”
I had never heard of this Texas-based band until my boss added this tune into our rotation at mvy the other day. Now I can’t stop listening to the song, which has hints of Mumford & Sons and Zac Brown Band. NPR called their sound an “impossible-to-define stew of country, folk, rock and gospel”. Whatever it is, it sounds GREAT:

“Julie (Come Out of the Rain)”
This is the single from Josh Rouse’s new album, The Happiness Waltz. At first, it didn’t grab me, but the more I hear it, the more lovely it sounds to me…with it’s beautiful pedal steel and subtle harmonies. It definitely makes me want to sit down to hear more of the album!
