Bon Iver (pronounced bohn-eevair) is the stage name of indie-folk performer
Justin Vernon and he is an absolute obsession here at !tashed.

He released his album For emma, forever ago independently in 2007 and got picked up by the awesome indie label jajaguwar not long after, re-releasing it early this year.

If you can remember how iron & wine sounded to you the first time you heard them,
keep that in mind and add an insanely peculiar but incomparably perfect falsetto voice in its own right.

Thats Bon Iver for you.

With such vocals and such a myriad of images which comes to mind everytime his music gets played, he looks to be one of those greats in time to come.

Great expectations..but listen to him before you judge what i say.
Listen to skinny love just once and you will get so so hooked.

Martina Topley Bird has been revered as one of brit pop’s greatest mavericks.
Her voice is even said to act as a celestial foil to the blunted genius of music.

She returns with her new album on the 12th of may titled ‘the blue god‘

While you might think with the number of people she has worked with, music seems more like a hobby to her.

On the contrary, its more of finding the right people to work with at the right time,
showing off her creative zenith as a true chameleon of pop.

This time shes been workin with the it crowd..van she to the officers and after a listen
you will understand.

van she(modular) has turned her single into a hypnotic track which can make anyone appreciate electro-house tracks.

These 2 bands have already set the pace for indie/electro records for the year and what a bar they have set.

MGMT was formerly known as the management and
we here at !tashed concur with the rolling stones to declare
MGMT the artiste to watch in 2008.

This brooklyn band is currently travelling with yeasayer and is pure psychedelic pop goodness.

Just grab the tracks and fall in love.

Vampire weekend are the latest band to hoard and run riot in the indie music blogosphere.
And its for a good reason.

These columbia university alumni (NYC again!) have performed alongside the likes of The Shins, The Kills and Supergrass on Jools Holland so be sure to watch out for them.

Being influenced by african popular music and western classical music
has resulted in the freshest sound i have heard in a while.

Know them before they get all over the wretched radio waves.

everybody’s been talkin about the music from once
ever since they won an oscar for the song ‘falling slowly‘ .

once is the winner of the world cinema dramatic audience award at Sundance.
Its an unpretentious story and blend of honest romance and music.

But i shall let the trailer speak for this magical low budget film with enough hype goin around.

“how often do you find the right person?”…

To most people , Lior emerged out of nowhere in 2005
and caused a stir with his debut album autumn flow.

It became one of the most successful debut albums
in australia’s independent music history.

To Lior, the accolades he has received are merely diversions
and is really all about the music.

In his labels words..
Lior is a reminder of a time when music came first and everything else was secondary.

Corner of an endless road was released in Feb 08′
and its never too late to listen to something worth your attention.

According to Lior himself, the tracks from this album is
“a true representation of my musical landscape.. and are intensely personal.”

The album is recorded in melbourne,
and produced by Frank Tetaz (Architecture in Helsinki),
including a guest appearance from Sia. Remember her here.

He has a dinstinctive emotive allure to his vocals and music,
perfect for a sunday vibe and a spot on sunday sounds here @ !tashed.
