I recently stumbled upon this site by chance and have been back to it every week since. The recordings that are the result of the Daytrotter sessions bring out the true raw talent of the musicians who have stopped in to record. Such artists that have found their way into this humble studio include Local Natives, Thrice, Cold War Kids, Port O'Brien and Robert Francis. Even better- if you like what you hear, every song is available for download!

He'll be there, rockin' out with Saint Motel and The Nervous Wreckords! Oh & check itttt, Nylon's got a mad crush. Here's a little taste of what you'll get once you pick up Careful Love:

That's right! Not only does Careful Love drop today but our recent obsession Robert Francis' album Before Nightfall hits stores as well. What a good day for music :) Mr. Francis will be celebrating this evening by playing a little release show at the one and only Roxy with Noah and the Whale. So that means you should stop on by and celebrate with us! We know from experience that he is remarkable live and we'd love for you to see for yourself! We've streamed one of our FAVORITE tracks off the new album below, enjoy!
