A<br \/>\nresident of Holmdel, New Jersey, Sokolow is, as of 2006, a sophomore<br \/>\nat University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her debut<br \/>\nalbum, Something About Violins, was released in November, 2006, on the<br \/>\nWestern Vinyl label. Often drawing comparisons to Cat Power and Mirah,<br \/>\nSokolow has gained acclaim for her decidedly lo-fi sound; the entirety<br \/>\nof Something About Violins was recorded using the built-in microphone<br \/>\nof her PowerBook G4. Her music, which predominantly consists simply of<br \/>\nher vocals and acoustic guitar, has been noted for its subtletly and<br \/>\nintrospectiveness. Sokolow has also been heralded not just for the<br \/>\nintimacy of her music, but for her awareness of her own fragile<br \/>\nemotional state. All of the work on Something About Violins, including<br \/>\nmixing, instrumentation, and album packaging art, was done by Sokolow<br \/>\nherself. (from wikipedia)<\/p>\n<p>At only 19 years old and hailing from the college town of Columbus,<br \/>\nOhio, Blake Miller creates songs that range from the haunting to the<br \/>\nintimate, but contain an honesty that allows him to stay far enough<br \/>\noutside the lyrical styling of the &#8220;freak folk&#8221; movement to create<br \/>\nsomething truly distinct. He exhibits vocal melodies suggestive<br \/>\nperhaps of Devendra Barnhart or Grizzly Bear, coupled with the<br \/>\nintimacy and earnestness of early Iron &amp; Wine recordings. (courtesy of<br \/>\nexitstencil recordings)<\/p>\n<p>Justin Vollmar is a man travelling in life, pursued by things that are<br \/>\nlo-fi, while neglecting the booze and stoned kind of inspirations, not<br \/>\nknowing what to do with the casual artists that need depressions to<br \/>\nhelp the underground feeling stand up clearly. But also Justin often<br \/>\nends up musically surviving on mattresses, surrounded by small paper<br \/>\nnotes of real heart-poetry remarks.
