The Woolen Men - “Hold It Up”

Holy crap.  Today’s obsession.  And new band crush. 

Jacco Gardner - “The Ballad of Little Jane”

Anyone else crushing as hard on Jacco Gardner as I am?

Los Cripis - “Mountains”

Stripped-down, lo-fi, straight-to-tape, distorted pop out of Argentina.  Yeah, this works for me.  Check out soundcloud for more tunes.

Elephant - “Skyscraper”

Isn’t this just full of lovely things.  Plucky guitar, bright tambourine, lush organ, hints of trip hop, Bambi-like Disney choir woven throughout.  Very, very pretty.

Jessica Pratt - “Night Faces”

“Stevie Nicks singing over David Crosby demos”

Absolutely beautiful.  Jessica Pratt’s s/t debut is available now on Birth Records, a label Tim Presley (White Fence) created for this release.

The Babies - “Get Lost”

The Babies sophomore record Our House On The Hill drops today courtesy of Woodsist Records.  I’m afraid this album could shake up by oh-so-fragile year end draft list.  I’ve gotten stuck at track 4 with “Get Lost”.  I need a few more listens before I can continue on.  My current obsession.

The Coup - “The Magic Clap”

Socially/politically driven hip hop with a band playing actual instruments is SO up my alley.  Sorry To Bother You available 10/30 on Anti-!

White Poppy - “IN THE WINDOW”

Hi everybody!!  So glad to see you again.  Know what I’ve been doing all day today while Tumblr’s been down?  Working.  It’s been AWFUL not having the dash refresh breaks. 

But hey, I also got some time to catch up on my rss feeds.  Found this gem through my favorite, Weird Canada.  At about the 7 second mark, when that guitar pops up, I literally said “whoa” loud enough for the guy in the next cubicle ask what was up.  Droney, fuzzy dream-pop with a pulsing bass beat.  Yeah.  ALL over this.

Head over to bandcamp to listen to I HAD A DREAM in it’s acid-washed entirety.

White Denim performing “Bess St”, “Shake Shake Shake” and “River To Consider”

Its a White Denim afternoon.
