The Deli Portland would like to thank all of the readers who went hog wild in the Readers Poll voting of your favorite emerging Portland artist for 2009. We had over 800 votes in just a little under two weeks, and after a neck-and-neck sprint on the final lap, garage-rock debutantes Bodhi emerged the victors! Congratulations to Bodhi (also a former Deli Portland band of the month in September 2009), and a special shout-out to ALL of the bands, fans, and readers who helped us with the voting!!!!


Stay tuned this Wednesday when we unveil our Deli Portland Best Emerging Artist of 2009 composite chart, which will name the overall Best Emerging Artist of 2009
. This chart combines the Readers Poll voting points, as well as points bestowed Portland bands by way of our Open Poll, as well as our Jury Votes from the end of 2009.

As always, make The Deli Portland your daily potion for local show previews, live reviews, album reviews, and whatever other gossip enters our surly, brow-beaten craniums.

Norfolk and Western
Dinero Severo

mp3

Dinero Severo, the newest album from Portland-based Norfolk and Western, is the type that begs to be played during road trips in summer, filling the silence with a contagious folk-indie sound. The album moves seamlessly from track to track, showcasing a variety of instruments and strong influences through the notes. This isn’t the type of album to demand attention from the listener, rather it sits in wait, rightfully confident in what it offers.

Band members Adam Selzer (M. Ward), Rachel Blumberg (Bright Eyes, Mirah, Jolie Holland), and Dave Depper (Loch Lomond, Jolie Holland), have created a smooth, rich sounding album with songs that are both simple and complex. The result feels effortless to the listener, with every instrument coming together in a dynamic arrangement that is raw, yet tame. Every element within Dinero Severo feels beautifully executed and well thought out. This album reeks of late summer nights and good company, and won’t be easily forgotten.
