As great as I think I am at giving focus to Iowa artists, there is no better way to discover new music than to actually listen to them. well the good folks at Sonic Harvest has given you all a chance to do that in one nice neat little package. Featuring 1 track from 30 different bands, all recorded at the now world famous Sound Farm in Jamaica, IA.
The album features lots of my favorites like Christopher the Conquered, Poison Control Center, Why Make Clocks and Mumford’s to name a few. But luckily for me it features acts I’m not as familiar with like Sean Huston and Pocket Aristotle. So there really is something for everyone.
In addition, the CD release show actually features 14 of these artists all on one show. Starting at 3pm and going until 1am. Bombay Bicycle Club in West Des Moines hosts this event this saturday, and I would highly recommend heading there. Check out the poster above for the schedule (as you can see, yes you do need to be there right at 3). Click here for details.

Where can you get the compliation disc if unable to hit the show? The FB page does not appear to have ordering information (or, highly likely, the new format precludes me from being able to readily find it . . . . )
It is now available from our good friends at Maximum Ames Records to download for only $10:

And yeah isnt the new profile just the worst?
Took a break from hating Facebook and downloaded “Sonic Harvest” today. Got a road trip to Mason City tomorrow, so seems like the perfect soundtrack . . .
