This week's got releases suitable for all of your upcoming naps and hootenannies! Read on to see what's happening!
Label: Cosmicleaf Records
Album: Lullaby
Artist: Eguana
Genre: Electronic, Ambient
Eguana returns with a new ambient album, titled Lullaby. Despite its narcoleptic title and soothing sound, this release is more than just a selection of bedtime tunes. In actuality, it’s a fleshed out, fully realized, trance record. Interesting to note in this release is the diversity of theme from one track to the next. “Lullaby for my daughter” calls to mind a futuristic hotel lobby, while “Journey to the purple smoke” paints a visual image of a pilgrimage across dusty sand dunes. Indeed, the tone of the album phases back and forth from a sharp electronic sound to a softer, vocal equipped sound with droning didgeridoo-esque synths and ceramic drums. For sleepless fans of ambient electronica with a hint of world music, Lullaby might be just what the doctor ordered.

Label: Q Division
Album: Q Dee Rock and Soul #10
Artist: Tim Gearan
Genre: Rock, Soul
Tim Gearan, a singer and guitar player who has performed with Grammy-nominated blues artist Susan Tedeschi, and toured internationally with Toni Lynn Washington, has released a two track 7” of his own that’s sure to get your mojo working. For those familiar with the work of JJ Cale, John Hiatt, Randy Newman, and Nick Lowe, Tim Gearan’s smoky voice and funky groove will feel right at home. “Get a Gun,” the first track, burns with a sort of laid-back charisma that is so indicative of tracks cut by seasoned performers. “Enough” is a love letter to classic Americana, using elements of blues, soul, and funk in its theme and composition. Because of his charm and infectious energy, Tim Gearan’s latest release is a viable option for long-time rock and soul listeners and newcomers alike.
