Vancouver’s Paul Stewart (who we have previously covered here & who featured on our 2012 Best Free Music list) has just released two brand new songs via his Bandcamp page. The two-track digital album is titled Some Good It Will Come and is available for download for a minimum payment of just two Canadian dollars (less than £1.30). Both songs are excellent and are certain to please fans of his previous work. If you are less familiar, then think mournful vocals, delicate acoustic guitars and subtle percussion. I found myself thinking of artists such as JBM.
Also, if you’re lucky enough to be in Alberta this weekend, you have three chances to see Paul play live; one in Edmonton tonight (Friday 22nd Feb) courtesy of Cabin Songs, with Matthew A. Wilkinson, Jom Comyn and The Royal Iguana Fur (who cover Louie Louie here), then twice in Calgary on Saturday and Sunday (23rd and 24th of Feb). Check Facebook for more info.
P.S. The slightly bizarre cover art was taken by Warren Humeny, check out a blog of his photography here.
