100% correct folks. SoSB's Alpinisms' is a great, chill-out record. If you picked it & some Bat For Lashes up, you're good to go.
I think the last Spiral Beaches was, what 2007? I am excited for the new stuff. -------------------- "You're cute, like a velvet glove cast in iron. And like a gas chamber, a real fun gal."

School of Seven Bells. Lovely Cocteau Twins-y vocal melodies, with some Lush/Ladytron influences and hints of Miranda Sex Garden/Rasputina-ish goth-isms. Dark, pretty, perfect pop.

I just discovered A Camp, a band consisting of Nina Persson of the Cardigans (looove them) and some other transplants from indie type groups whom I can't remember right now. I got their debut album which I believe came out a few years back and it's really gorgeous wistful americana-ish pop...I guess, I'm not good at describing bands' sounds. They have a new album that's being released in May and they're actually touring the States soon but unfortunately I won't be able to go because it would be 2 hours to either Cambridge or Brooklyn and I have work for both dates. (So jealous of people who actually live in or near major cities! But anyway...) I recommend checking them out if you're into that sort of thing, or if you like the Cardigans later stuff.

Hhhhmm, glad I checked in here, I've been considering the new Bat for Lashes. I read in the current issue of Bust that a former relationship really inspired her current album.
AP, oh gosh, you had to mention Scott Walker. *shudders* I bought a best of cd after the recommendation of some dude. Some times, hipster icons really go over my head. He's ok and I definitely hear the influence he had on Nick Cave and Jarvis Cocker. But, too much Scott Walker makes me crazy. -------------------- "I'm not impressed easily. Wow!

Yknow, I really liked Fur & Gold, but I'm not completely sold on Two Suns yet. I think it might be the Kate Bush-y thing, particularly the drums on Pearl's Dream. And Scott Walker gives me the wiggins, kinda. I really do like Sleep Alone, though & the hints of Siouxsie Sioux keep me coming back to the cd.
And I echo the question, new Spiral Beach? -------------------- "You're cute, like a velvet glove cast in iron. And like a gas chamber, a real fun gal."

I'm currently switching between Pavement, Camera Obscura, and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone. I have a lot of time to listen to new music these days.
My broken headphones can only get me so far though - I'm dying to go to a honest-to-goodness show, mosh pit and all

Has anyone heard the new Bat For Lashes album Two Suns? She's an amazing artist and the whole album has a very Kate-Bush feel to it. Def the only thing I've listened to for the last two weeks.

I was happy with the groovy-ness of Modern Guilt, after how blah and disappointing The Information was. I will always love Guero though, it has a great theme and feel to it! Even if he is a scientologist.
Right now I am listening to Elvis Costello. His crazy voice always helps me chill out when I need to. |

oh man i loved modern guilt, especially volcanoes. very nostalgia-for-summer-08 inducing. i find it more focused and unified than other beck albums--probably danger mouse's influence, although i found the production a little heavy too, especially at first. it really grew on me though.

The new Beck is a fun listen albeit not his best. Songs like Gamma Ray are happy, poppy little things. Danger Mouse produced it & I think he got a little heavyhanded with the pastiche. I picked up a few tracks from the War Child Heroes Vol 1 & one was Beck's cover of "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat" that is a delightfully fuzzy stomp.

I've just recently gotten into the bands Kings Of Leon, Sigur Ros and M.I.A. Haven't stopped listening to these 3 for
the past couple of weeks. |
