He is said to sound like a cross of The Racontours, 70’s Eric Clapton, and the Foo Fighters. I would say he sounds like Clapton, John Mayer, and the Martial Arts. Either way you have a great sound coming from this talented guitarist/vocalist.

Tracks featured on the show:

From Devil Ain’t Got a Chance
Devil Ain’t Got a Chance

So Wrong

Bad Luck

From Only One

Head in the Clouds

Only One

Also featuring Josh Woodward playing Nothing in the Dark from Here Today, Black Morning playing Post War Years from the SXSW 2009 Showcasing Artist Compliation CD, and It’s Electric by Yours Truly (Carlos Killpack) from Dj Killpack (recently released on Jamendo) :P

Welcome to the long awaited Episode 3 of Indie Invasion! I’m truly sorry that it took so long to get around to recording this but finding free time is rather difficult. But enough of that, today we are spotlighting a superbly talented musician from Cologne, Germany named Julia Kotowski.

The album we will be listening to is called Hydrophobia. According to the details page of this album on Archive.org:
“Entertainment for the Braindead’s music can be considered as acoustic, private, fragile and touching. Therefore Julia coined the term “acoustic dilettante post-something”, which refers to her unique D.I.Y. attitude that goes all along in the process of creating her music.
Just like her debut “Hypersomnia”, her new EP “Hydrophobia” is full of heart and soul and was created in her parents’ living room. There she spent hours in front of her laptop, recording track by track with a simple USB-microphone. Behind closed doors – with an open heart and mind – these colourful sounds and melodies of “Hydrophobia” emerged. Ukulele, guitar and flute are ever-present instruments, just like her unconventional percussion that consists of jars, cans, boxes, drawers and peppermills. Her intimate songs are detailed snapshots of thoughts and feelings that are part of Julia and her surroundings – sometimes filtered and reflected, sometimes pure and transparent.”
The track listing is as follows:

  1. Prologue
  2. Colours
  3. Resolutions
  4. Run!
  5. Mi Corazon
  6. Fences
  7. Hydrophobia
  8. What You Get
  9. A Trace
  10. Maybe

If you’ve noticed I’ve been posting a lot of these types of artists, mostly because they are awesome. Josh Woodward, however, doesn’t exactly fit into the “singer-songwriter” category, he is one but his music is widely experimental. He plays all sorts of music…just check out this song, and his website (for more).
