miguel : adorn (letterman)

i've seen this feller's name thrown around quite a bit lately and am just now getting to checking him out. anyone who has ever had a fondness for late 80s/early 90s r&b will be able to get behind this with ease.

night moves : colored emotions (album stream)

check out the minneapolis trio's debut album right here. it's really pretty great. kind of sounds like a mellowed out, slightly countrified mgmt.

alunageorge : watching over you (video)

this is so so so good. two for two (the other winner being the previously posted "your drums, your love"). but seriously, if the songs on the band's forthcoming debut are even 75% as good as these first two tracks, they're going to put out one of the best albums of the year with ease.

 

the walkmen : heaven b-sides

two unreleased tracks from the band's very great heaven.
   Dance with Your Partner by The Walkmen

   Vermeer '65 by The Walkmen
