Corb Lund – Cabin Fever

From a rustic retreat deep in the Rocky Mountain forest, Cabin Fever, Lund’s enthralling new album, covers it all as the songwriting ranges from rockabilly to Western swing, cowboy balladry to country-rock and, of course, the occasional yodel.
Cabin Fever follows on the boot heels of Lund’s 2009 New West debut, the critically acclaimed Losin’ Lately Gambler, his sixth album. Backed by his longtime band, the Hurtin’ Albertans, the JUNO Award recipient has won kudos in his native land; the Canadian Country Music Association has named Lund Roots Artist of the Year annually seven consecutive years from 2004 – 2010.

The Chant – A Healing Place

With A Healing Place the Helsinki-based septet the Chant takes a stand as one of Finland’s progressive rock bands people have to be aware of. Based on a deeply atmospheric, almost cinematic sound the Chant rely on dreamy guitar melodies, spherical piano-playing and a remarkable voice. This album full of soundscape-driven, ambitious rock music should please fans of Anathema, Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and A Perfect Circle.
