Some Musical Treats
Here are some musical treats that have been brightening my days as of late.Animal Chin EP by Jaga Jazzist (Review)
The group’s intriguing use of jazzier elements ensure that their sound more than stands on its own.Stanton Meadowdale by Stanton Meadowdale (Review)
I get the feeling that Meadowvale has listened to his fair share of Mountain Goats records, but John Darnielle he ain’t.Lowlights by Lowlights (Review)
Intimacy is what this recording is all about.Onko by Mika Vainio (Review)
Even diehard fans might find their patience tried as they try to make their way through Onko’s 67 meandering minutes.Beneath Medicine Tree by Copeland (Review)
Beneath Medicine Tree is not without its flaws, but it hints at so much promise.Rounds by Four Tet (Review)
While Hebden’s sonic layering can be bewildering, there’s a definite sense of exploration about it that never disappears.On The Shore by Friends Of Dean Martinez (Review)
A chance to rediscover a band that I’d been enamored with quite some time ago and then subsequently lost track of.6 by Supersilent (Review)
Whereas before I had heard a formless jumble of sounds, I found something beautiful and truly intriguing.Give Up by The Postal Service (Review)
This is an electro-pop record that doesn’t properly belong to any movement or time period.Misery Loves Harmony by The Vegas Nerve (Review)
Yep, there are a lot of other bands doing this but the Vegas Nerve do it pretty well.
