Susanne Sundfor by Lost At E Minor
We featured Scandanavian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør on Lost At E Minor last week and followed up with her to get the secret on her wonderful singing voice. Her response: "Thank you! I've always loved to sing. When I was a little girl I would imitate big divas such as Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. At some point in my early teens, I became interested in classical singing, and began practicing professionally, singing arias. Similarly, I became fascinated with '70s pop and folk music, ranging from Neil Young to Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. So I combined the style of these genres with the classical influences."

Brown Wing Overdrive
Last month I saw Brown Wing Overdrive open for Black Pus (the solo project of Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale). The band—which formed in DC and relocated to NYC—uses electronics, found objects, banjos, duck calls, jaw harps and whatever else they can get their hands on to make jerky, syncopated, yelping noise. At times referencing shamanistic traditions, at others drawing from Kabuki, the band doesn't...

Interview with Singer-Songwriter Kim Garrison
For Kim Garrison making a living playing music has been a difficult path but also one of the most rewarding. CH caught up with the California-native behind the hauntingly emotive vocals for a chat about moving to NYC, songs, summer and lip-synching. Have you always been in the music industry? Not exactly the "industry" but I've been around music my whole life. I played saxophone...

Human Host
If a bunch of monkeys had a bunch of typewriters, they might come up with Shakespeare, but if they had drum machines, broken synths, out-of-tune guitars and old Casio keyboards, they might end up with something that sounds like Human Host. The Baltimore band channels the languid sneer of the Stooges, the absurdist spazz-outs of Men's Recovery Project, and the sproing-y dissonance of Nervous...

Rootbeer
Recently formed hip-hop duo, Rootbeer (Pigeon John and Flynn Adam), have just dropped a super fresh piece of audio pie right in your kitchen. Influenced by artists such as MGMT, N.E.R.D and A Tribe Called Quest, Rootbeer offer up an edgy and unfeigned lyrical style. Turn up their debut release, The Pink Limousine EP, to eleven. You'll find it impossible not to make shapes....

Brett Dennen
We asked Oakdale, California singer-songwriter Brett Dennen, who has one of the finest voices in contemporary pop-folk, about the humor which swirls amidst the brutal honesty of his lyrics, and whether he was generally a positive person by nature.I'm weird. I can be laid back, and I can be stressed. I can be positive, and I can be cynical. I think generally, I am...
