[Stream] Adron: “Évidemment”
Although Adron‘s latest record, Organismo, was orignally released back in November of last year at a release show, it didn’t become widely available until well into the holiday season so I never got a chance to blog about it before I took my break. Adron had already put together an impressive catalogue between her previous records and her more recent collaborations with local artists such as The Selmanaires and Little Tybee, but Organismo is clearly her best work to date, and one of the finest local albums to emerge over the last year. The songwriting is so sharp, employing complex yet agile compositions, and the execution is flawless. If you haven’t spent a lot of time with this record, you’re sorely missing out. Here’s one of my faves:

Back Again
I had taken a little break from this website over the last four months, but now I’m feeling refreshed and ready to get back to blogging again. I have a lot of catching up to do because there’s been so many great local records released already this year. Speaking of which, if you are a local artist who sent a submission during my hiatus, even as far back as November of 2011, I would strongly suggest sending another email, as it’s possible that it might have gotten overlooked. To send a submission to Ohmpark, please click this link.
Thanks for reading.

Counterpoint Festival
Not counting that abomination called Music Midtown last year, it’s been a long time since Atlanta has had a large-scale music festival. Considering how populated the metro area is and how diverse and dynamic our local music scene is, it’s kind of weird we haven’t had a big music fest in recent years. But hopefully that will change this fall with the coming of Counterpoint Festival, which is slated to take place September 28 & 29 in the same location as the 2007 Echo Project, a really beautiful tract of land only 30 minutes from downtown. Even though The Echo Project was under-promoted and under-attended, it was a really special festival experience, and those of us lucky enough to have attended have been waiting and wishing for it’s return. Now, this seems to be an entirely different festival, but even though there isn’t a lineup quite yet, I’m really optimistic because it’s being produced by C3, who puts on Austin City Limits Music Fest and Lollapalooza, and MCP, who puts on Camp Bisco and the original Echo Project. Supposedly a lineup and more details will arrive in the coming weeks.

One of my favourite local music institutions is celebrating half a decade of producing stellar live video sessions on Cinco de Mayo at the Star Bar with a diverse and heavy-hitting lineup. This will be a really fun one.
