Jordan Moser’s debut album Sleeping Bag has been a long time coming. Since 2007 Jordan Moser has been cultivating his own sound of sincere lonesome country and warm atmospheric folk. His reverence for early American roots music and 78rpm records have leant a certain authenticity that is evident in his simple yet universal narratives of love loss and travel.
In May 2011 Jordan Moser began recording Sleeping Bag with Producer Matt Smith at East Austin Recordings. Some of the songs were fresh off the paper, some were rewrites, some were songs dug up from the past that had stood the test of time. Sleeping Bag is a collection of songs that have lived many lives. Although Sleeping Bag is the culmination of years of writing, this record is just as much about the process as it was about the songs. Disheartened by his many failed attempts to make “the record” he decided to leave the often creatively stiffing multi-track process behind and record the majority of the record on the fly. For two weeks Producer Matt Smith and Jordan Moser worked on one song a day. Jordan would start on one instrument and gradually work through the whole arrangement himself. Add a few friends and the longing whine of a pedal steel and you have Sleeping Bag.
We’re modern and civilized! A new bandcamp page for the albinocrowmusic releases has been created! It’s still under construction but go listen and buy some tracks – more shows and songs and albums and moons are in the works -

Dante VS Zombies have just released their debut album “Buh” on Neurotic Yell Records – get yourself a copy!
Here’s the second part of the interview with Dante White and I Promote Good Bands:
June has been an incredible month filled with great music, out-of-the-box performances, and an intelligent group of musicians. Dante vs Zombies is a phenomenal band on the cusp of bigger things. We’ve been honored to feature them this month, and can’t wait to see what they have in store for the feature. Below is the second part of our interview with Dante White.
Q: What was one of your favorite moments during the Dante vs Zombies residency at The Echo?
That’s a tough question. There were many ecstatic moments, but the audience playing tug of war was pretty special.
Q: Dante vs Zombies has an incredible live show that’s always different. How long does it take to come up with a concept for each show as far as costumes and set?
It’s usually pretty last minute, or the day of the show. Sometimes it’s every person for him or herself without a unifying concept. Even if there is a concept, it’s optional. When it’s not optional, we are allowed 3 verbals before we get a written. 3 writtens may result in suspension and temporary exclusion from the band softball team as well as as suspension of employee discounts.
