Viva Voce (Rose City) Octavio "The record was written, arranged and recorded in one month but you would never be able to tell, as this batch of 10 tracks is some of their most engaging work to date." The album released in the states today. Excerpt from The Fire Note. ©2009 Barsuk Records BUY Amazon
School Of Seven Bells (Alpinisms) Connjur "What pushes these songs past mere worship involves cunning collisions of robust rhythm, caressing noise, and heavenly melody, with each element equally crucial. Good shoegaze/dream-pop bands mastered one of them; the most exceptional of the heap, like this group, had all three down." That was a mouthful.

Republic Tigers (Keep Color) Buildings And Mountains The opening notes of “Buildings & Mountains” are deceptive, as the plain guitar, bass, and drums give way to a much more intricate bit of song-craft as the tune progresses. The anthemic build of the melody and the swirling electronic harmony filling space in the surroundings creates one of the album’s best tracks.

Jessica Lea Mayfield (With Blasphemy So Heartfelt) Kiss Me Again “With the edge and attitude that Kurt Cobain possessed coupled with a rich musical family history similar to Maybelle Carter’s, Jessica Lea Mayfield is the most exciting new artist on the scene today.” Scott Avett of the Avett Brothers ©2008 Polymer Sounds BUY Amazon
Fink (Sort Of Revolution) Pills In My Pockets Last weekend, I saw a really cool video on Current about Fink. You can view it below. "Fin Greenall, aka Fink, is certainly the more understated of the world's 'singer-songwriters', relying on uncompromising quality of work and an astounding stage presence, rather than major label marketing budget."
