An Old Song, Relatively
This is the "big" song The La's had. I was thinking of it the other day and thought I'd share. Enjoy.
Low vs Diamond
This record is awesome. Its a debut from a band out of L.A. The album is self-titled. I know I said they were like the strokes and U2. I'd revise that to say they remind me of the strokes crossed with Remy Zero circa Villa Eliane with a little bit of the killers in there. This is a contender for album of the year. Here are two more songs from the album. The first is called Don't Forget Sister. The second is called This is Your Life, which has an almost Oasis feel to it. My favorite track on the album is Actions are Actions. Give this album a chance, you won't regret it.
Check This Out: 48 May – The End
OK. The video starts out with a "Huh?" But close your eyes and give it a chance. I promise you won't want your four minutes back.
This kind of sound usually isn't my cup of tea but for some reason when 48 May bring on the the power pop about a minute into this track I got hooked. This album isn't available in the US yet so I'll have to wait on posting a full album review but these guys sound like they would really take off over here.
What do they put in the water in New Zealand. That country has some serious musical talent. What is it about islands?
Buy These Albums
London based artist The Bug has released an incredible album blending dancehall reggae with hard-edged almost industrial electronica. Its fucking dynamite. This is a track called Poison Dart. Its a really good album.
The second album is by Low vs Diamond. This and the Frightened Rabbit record are my two favorite of the year. Good stuff. Really want to see them live. They remind me of a cross between U2 and a lighter version of the strokes. Their self-titled album is awesome.
Another New Band– Mono In VCF
I just found this cool band. They're called Mono In VCF. Their self-titled album is awesome. They remind me slightly of The National with their use of string instruments and lush orchestration. This song is called Escape City Scrapers. The video below is not the official video. Some guy just posted a video with the song playing. It was the best quality available. Check them out.
