mountain man (kaleidoscope session)
these ladies are so excellent at what they do. i cannot believe that they haven't hit the scene any louder than they have. rec'd for fans of fleet foxes, joanna newsom, folk, harmonies, the appalachian mountains.
interpol : memory serves
of the three tracks we've heard so far, this is by far the best. and a good song in its own right, to boot. listen.
fleet foxes tour doc (video)
really just singer robin pecknold. assuming most of the footage is from his opening stint for joanna newsom. watch it here.

st. vincent : actor out of work (solo acoustic)
when full-band songs are stripped down, they can often sound/feel a little half-baked. like a demo. but this feels like a whole other song entirely. like it was made for those nylon strings.
annie clark can really do no wrong.

more new walkmen
stream four tracks from the walkmen's upcoming lisbon over here. they all sound really really strong (esp. "juveniles"). this is going to be a whiskey-sipping album if there ever was one.
idiot glee : ain't no sunshine (bill withers cover)
i've highlighted idiot glee. lots of promise. just get him in a proper studio with well-matched producer (dave sitek? chris taylor?) and let the magic happen. check out his excellent cover (or any of his other songs) at his myspace.

strider hero : strider hero ep
just stumbled on toronto band strider hero. very enjoyable. they sound a bit like someone, although i can't quite place it. french kicks? alberta cross? the walkmen? the smiths? not sure. either way, they are giving away the songs on their self-released ep.
and as for album art, the band is letting you choose your favorite comic-inspired inspired theme here.
best coast : best coast
stream best coast's debut album in its entirety over here. rec'd if you like smith westerns.
morning benders : virgins
this is a video of the band rehearsing for their upcoming blogotheque performance. new song. very nice.
