Roger Jean, Swell Guy – I’ve been listening to Rosewood Groove quite a bit lately. Their debut self-titled EP just came out and these young performers are just as good as anyone currently in the Fredericton music scene and they are only going to get better. They have a wonderful unique flavor of mandolin infused roots music and their lyrics are fabulous as well.
Erin Bond, Station Manager – A few albums I’ve been into lately are Basia Bulat‘s newest record Good Advice, and Minotaur‘s Weird Waves. Good Advice is a great pop album, a little different from the folky music I’ve usually associated her to, and Weird Waves is such a fun jam-band kind of record, I was groovin’ and boppin’ the entire time listening to it!
Chris Waddell, Music Director – I’ve been listening to DJ Keoki and Barkmarket, one of my all time favourite bands from the 1990’s, and Texas is the Reason… Both Barkmarket and Texas Is The Reason are no longer together. But some of the best Alt-Rock music ever created IMO.
Mark Kilfoil, Program Director – Just picked up some new (to me!) albums, so I’ve been listening to the latest prog-rock/electronic Maserati album Rehumanizer — good, but I like the previous albums better — a couple of minimal, moody industrial/jazzy mood soundtrack-like albums from Blackfilm (the self-titled release and a release with Eraldo Bernocchi called “Along The Corridors”) — creepy, atmospheric, inspiring horror visions. And I’ve had the chance to listen to David Bowie‘s last testament, Black Star, a couple of times — talk about haunting and beautiful!
