Dead Letter Chorus

Dead Letter Chorus - Down In Your Valley
I haven't done a post about a band in the alternative country-esque arena in a while. Today I will with this Australia band by the name of Dead Letter Chorus. Gabrielle Huber, the female vocals, reminds me quite a bit of Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley. But the thing that excites me [...]

Northern Portrait

I know, I'm a little late posting about these guys. I did that on purpose, really. When I listened to the album the first time, I was very impressed so I decided to give the album several listens before posting. I wanted to treat it right since I'm such a fan. [...]

Chapel Club

Chapel Club - O Maybe I
Here's a new band from London that's starting to get quite a bit of buzz in their homeland. This five piece band, known as Chapel Club, doesn't have a lot of music out in the world yet. Their dark pop fits in the likes of Editors or Interpol. Right now their [...]

The xx - VCR (live at Le Live De La Semaine)
Alright, we've finally made it to my last favorite album. When these twenty year olds came onto the scene, I knew almost instantly they'd be on some sort of end of the year list. The XX has a minimalist, gothic sound throughout the album with clever lyrics. I'm impressed that a lot [...]

The Rural Alberta Advantage - "Edmonton" - HearYa Live Session 4/1/09
The Rural Alberta Advantage released their first album, "Hometowns", this year and it's probably one of the most overlooked albums in the blogosphere. This album has really impressed me. It has just about everything you'll want in a great album; great hooks, a good singer, and excellent lyrics. Then what's even more [...]

jj - things will never be the same again
This band came on the indie scene this year with a lot of mystery behind the band. I've been listening to this album so much and I still know almost nothing about the band. I think it's a two piece band and I'm pretty sure they're from Sweden. Besides that, I'm at [...]
