Running At Sunset - Language Arts
Nepotism alert! Language Arts is Left Hip writer Kristen Cudmore's project - combining classical guitar, acoustic double-bass, indie-folk and rap. Yeah, it might sound like a hellish combination but the music is anything but. Extremely catchy, endearing, emotionally-charged songs and really nice instrumental bits. Plus the live classical instruments echo the classical samples that so many hip hop producers use. I highly recommend anyone in Vancouver to check out a show now before they're selling out auditoriums. www.language-arts.net
Just Wait Til Next Year - John Maus
Buddy of Ariel Pink and sounds an awful lot link him too. Weirdo pop, very charming, tinges of angsty 80's pop and obscure sixties psyche-pop.A+ Cannibal - Death Sentence Panda
Wild noisy ride from San Francisco. Features members of Crack War and Total Shutdown
When You Wasn't Famous - The Streets
There should be a new The Streets album out soon, and here's the incredible first single. Skinner's humble self-deprecation in spite of his overwhelming success works nicely... I guess this song is his "Jenny From The Block".
Let's Not Fall Apart - David & The Citizens
David & The Citizens are a magnificent Swedish band that have a great deal of success in Europe but are virtually unknown in America. They've recently been picked up in the US by Friendly Fire who have just released a best-of-so-far compilation to prime US audiences for their Friendly Fire new full-length due later this year. Here's a great song from that compilation!
Desert Bloom - Sonya Cotton
Her recent album Baltimore Trees is SO BEAUTIFUL and her golden voice graces the new Bland Allisons album as well. This is an artist to watch out for. A voice that sends tingles down your spine, melts and breaks your heart in the same phrase.
Pitchforks - The Kyle Sowashes
Charming old-school indie rock from Dayton, OH. Takes it back to the glorious days of lo-fi for those of us old to remember.
Deer - Thanksgiving
I was too lazy to head across town the other night to see Thanksgiving even though my friend Jenn was working the door and probably would have let me in for free. But that's no indication of my lack of appreciation for this awesome band - it's just that Vancouver is.... Vancouver. Cold cold rain and ultimate lethargy. But enough about me, check out this wicked song from one of Portland, Oregon's finest.
The Wonder - Figurines
Denmark's Figurines are dropping their first US released, Skeleton right about now. For fans of Modest Mouse, Built To Spill, Strokes, and The Feelings there's nothing finer. This is a typically awesome high-energy track from the album.
Swing Down Sweet Chariot - Tony Ezzy
Tony Ezzy is a brilliant Montreal keyboard player who over the last number of years has been fronting bands that vary from Gap Band-style funk to middle-eastern tinged ragtime rap crossover. Now he's on a heavy gospel trip - and don't take it as a novelty - this guy apparently has a degree in religious studies from McGill. Whatever this guy touches turns to gold.Displaying songs 381 - 390 of 426 in total
