New Wolf Parade Tunes!

I've posted my love for Wolf Parade's "You are a Runner, but I am my Father's Son" and "Call it a Ritual," so I was pretty excited to see some new tracks from their upcoming album Expo 86 posted today. Definitely a fan on first listen, and I have the intention of playing through them a few more times yet today. Have a listen yourself below.

Archie Bronson Outfit Makes More Good Music

"Sharks Tooth," the second track of their new album Coconut, is awesome. I love the overall vibe and sound, and I'm really excited to listen to the full album. Coconut debuted on March 1, and this song was released February 22, and I completely missed them both. I don't know how they got by me, but I wanted to share this with you all asap, in case they passed you by too.


While I anticipate the whole album will be fabulous, I can't vouch for it yet. I'll let you know though. Until then, enjoy "Sharks Tooth" HERE and check out my previous Archie Bronson Outfit posts HERE.

So, I'm pretty sure my BFF told me about how awesome these guys are years ago, and for some reason I never checked them out. That sucks, because they're awesome.

Enjoy!

Listen to it HERE

OK - this band is amazing. I saw their sold-out record release show in Chicago on Monday at Schubas, and I HIGHLY suggest you change whatever plans you have when these guys are in town so that you can GO TO THEIR SHOW. You will not regret it. I promise.

AMAZINGLY talented musicians, with such fun and exciting energy - SO worth a late weeknight out.

Their new album, "Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South" is officially released today, so click their pic to hear more or the album cover below to learn more.

Enjoy! and You're Welcome.

Good Music

Hi all :)

I know I've already posted about Friendly Fires (props again to MW), but I'm now taking this moment to strongly suggest their album Friendly Fires. Every time a song off this album comes on, I'm racing to minimize the right windows so I can see who it is. LOVE it. You're welcome.

2/5/09: Summertime Clothes, by Animal Collective

Where to begin... I saw Animal Collective at Pitchfork last summer and was awestruck. Completely surprised by the wonderfulness they seeped into my ears. I'm bummed I missed them in Chicago last month at the Metro. :(

I heard so many good things about their new album, Merriweather Post Pavilion, and all of it is true. Big fan of the album, but like many of my favorite artists who I've yet to bring to the blog, I couldn't decide which song to post! Well, life kept happening and they slipped my mind, until just now on the way home. Props to XRT for bringing them back to the forefront of my attention.

Not recognizing that the song on the radio was Animal Collective's Summertime Clothes, I anxiously started googling the lyrics as I heard them on my phone. I contemplated rolling down the window and asking passerbys if they knew. Alas, XRT told me, and I nearly knocked myself unconscious with the "duh" slap of the forehead.

Enjoy!
