Music You Should Check Out, Vol. 1 - Nushu
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Music You Should Check Out!
The title pretty much sums it all up - tracks / artists I've come across that I dig enough to pass on to others...
First cab off the rank is Californian outfit Nushu.
They've been a favourite of mine for a few years, ever since they sent me a friend request on MySpace, and I toddled along to check out their stuff before accepting. Their page was loaded with tracks from their 2007 debut album, "Nevermind Lullabye". Female-vocalled, guitar-based power-pop pretty much floats the Dr. Keats boat every time, and this was no exception.
"She Said" and "So Glad You Dig Me" went onto high-rotation on my radio programs. From their follow-up album, "Hula" (2010), the tracks "So Long (maybe)" and "It's Just You" got the same treatment.
As I type, Hillary and Lisa are working on a five-track covers EP - first track to see the light of day is a killer cover of the late Phil Seymour's "Precious To Me", and that's the one I've decided to share with you this time around:
It's available on their website as a free download - boogie on along there, and grab yourself a copy! Then click on the "Store" link, scroll down the page, and check some of their other tracks...
