New chilled out track from New Mexico superband Beirut. Zach Condon and Co. announced the release of a new single through the label Pompeii a few days back. Turns out the track ‘East Harlem’ was featured on the band’s Live At the Music Hall of Williamsburg album.

“Eureka”, released March 15th, is the third album from the Vancouver based band Mother Mother. I’m really digging this band’s sound, somewhat like a contemporary velvet underground. Check it out. Shout out to Karl  (good luck in BC) – The Stand: Download – Aspiring Fires: Download – Baby Don’t Dance: Download

– The Swedish indie group, Peter Bjorn and John are back with a new album entitled “Gimme Some”. It was released March 28th of this year and is said to be a departure from the catchier pop inspired albums of their recent past (eg. Writer’s Block – Young Folks). Instead the group opted for a […]

Vampire Weekend – Mansard Roof

So I was on a field review for my work yesterday and we visited this beautiful old heritage house built in the 1870’s. The thing that really struck me about this building was it’s stunning roof line. I would latter learn that this shapely roof line is called a ‘Mansard Roof’. Here’s a picture of […]

We Are Trees – I Don’t Believe in Love

Been riding that indie wave as of late, largely due to Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks. Man that’s a catchy chune! Well here’s another really cool indie track from UK based band We Are Trees, consisting of lead singer James Nee and Josiah Schlater. This song has been getting mad play on my early […]

Toned Down Tuesdays: PJ Harvey – Let England Shake

May 3, 2011 by

0

PJ Harvey is a master of experimentation. A seeker of originality, Harvey’s sound is never duplicated from album to album. This is true for Let England Shake. Her music is the result of a  combination of influences like fellow english poet T.S. Eliot and musical groups the Doors and The Pogues – as well as […]

The Cave Singers – No Witch

The Cave Singers are back with a new album entitled “No Witch”. It seems to be an aggressive departure from  their other stuff. A few tracks have Tool-like deep guitar riffs, followed by “I Am the Walrus” sitars only to be constrasted by what sounds to be James Brown’s Church Choir. This album has a […]

Cool Indie – Generationals

Ever since Rich’s first post on the Generationals, I’ve been on them and I’ve been on them hard. The deeper I dig into their catalog of music, the more I am impressed with their insanely catchy style of music. Their music sounds so laid back, so effortless, and oh so perfect for summer. Here’s a […]
