Black Moth Super Rainbow - Eating Us

Little is known about the band or its members, as they have kept themselves something of an enigma.

Eating Us

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House

Yellow House—recorded in a house off Cape Cod, one which, yes, just happens to be yellow—maintains their debut’s DIY aesthetic, its blood is thicker, with plenty of strings, subtle electronic flourishes, and a more rhythmic base. The result is a prodigious leap for the band, combining their deft sense of atmosphere with a renewed attention to songcraft and, perhaps more importantly, album-craft.

Arthur & Yu - In Camera

Sub Pop Records..... Drawing sonic inspiration from the Velvet Underground as well as the studio experimentation of Lee Hazlewood, each track is a study in expansion, centered loosely around chiming guitars and swirling melodies. Olsen’s hazy croon is lifted by the smooth harmonies of Westcott, and both reel in the influence of Nancy Sinatra between the familiar crash of a tambourine and layers of guitar.

Afterglow

Figurines

Jimmy Tamborello(Dntel) is also part of Figurine, an electro-pop band consisting of Tamborello as James Figurine, Meredith Figurine and David Figurine. The three were high school friends and created music based mostly on the theme of long distance love. This is The Heartfelt their second and best album, i would have to say.


James Figurine also realeased a solo album entitled Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake. This album is more of a downtempo electronica album, it has 10 songs with additional help from John Tejada, Jenny Lewis, Geoff McFetridge, Morgan Nagler, Erlend Øye and Sonya Westcott.

These are both great albums, Jimmy is really good.

Enjoy:

Phil Keaggy - What A Day

Philip Tyler Keaggy is an amazing guitarist and vocalist and yes he sings about Jesus but he's probably one of the worlds best guitarists and Phill is missing half of his middle finger on his right hand. I personally don't believe in god, all tho i grew up in a christian home my parents listened to good music all the time and this is one of those albums i lisstend to allot and where most of my musical sense comes from.

This is Phil Keaggy's first solo album realeased on 1973. Prior to recording this album on Valentines Day 1970 his mother dies on a car accident, that same day Phil was on an heavy LSD trip gone wrong. In all this tragedy he's sister told him about Jesus, and he became a christian.
