Covering all the Music You Didn't Know About Since '96

The group featuring Mrs. Miller and Mccabe, neither of which is the real name of either of the duo whom are properly referred to as Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, Monks of Doom) and Alison Faith Levey (The Loud Family, The Sippy Cups), performs stirring indie pop with an Americana twist. But refusing to be slipped into a specific genre cabinet, the group delves into Southern blues, folk, pop ballads, roots-rock, jazz, and pleasant acoustic. It’s foot-stomping fun that refuses to succumb to any industry pressure to sound like this or that. I love that. And you will too. Looking for the next big thing that none of your hipster friends have heard yet? Pick up “Time for Leaving” and you won’t be disappointed.

Peep a video for these indie pop rockers for the title track:

Soulful jazz cuts with the Cedar Walton Trio backing up Anna Maria Flechero’s smooth vocals. The trio is made up of Mr. Walton as their pianist, a bassist, and a drummer, and there’s also additional instrumentation including a fender Rhodes, synthesizer, saxophone, mini-moog, and some additional guitar, bass, and drums to add to the mix. Her album rifles through contemporary smooth jazz licks and while it may not be nearly as impressive as her musical footnote alongside a 12-piece Latin jazz band that played alongside Santana, it’s pretty impressive from this daughter of a choir leader.
