Jenny Lewis – Acid Tongue

The first time Jenny Lewis went solo and not as part of Rilo Kiley, she teamed up with The Watson Twins for an exquisite offering. It was really really beautiful and chock-full of lovely, enchanting tracks.

Acid Tongue is her 2nd solo album and The Watson Twins are not joining the party this time round. But she’s brought on a wonderful group of artists to collaborate with her.
It is a great group comprising of Elvis Costello, She & Him (M.Ward & Zooey Deschanel), and of course her supposed squeeze Jonathan Rice. (Among others)

Florence And The Machine

Florence And The Machine was the breakout act for this years(2008) SXSW festival.
Yeah, that was way back but she still deserves some attention here with a voice like that.
I quote and absolutely agree that she has a voice that is “hauntingly captivating”.

Ray Lamontagne – Gossip In The Grain

Ray LaMontagne is a man who manages to express heartache and hurt better than anyone else in this world. His last 2 albums tore through the hardest of hearts and soothed the most broken of souls.

His brand of heartache is something few can fathom, with a general consensus that no one can actually write songs like that without feeling such despair themselves. Those who hurt find comfort in LaMontagne’s music, which always grants the mood to dwell in disaster.

Gossip In The Grain is his 3rd album to date and some things remain consistent. His raspy vocals are present, he remains as intimate as ever, and he still manages to induce beautiful, rustic imagery in our heads with each song.

Bloc Party – Intimacy

When the dust settled after Silent Alarm, Bloc Party reached a sacred place.
They were revered as greats even though it was just one album.
Silent Alarm was raw, in your face and incredibly successful, and deservedly so.

With A Weekend In The City, they experimented with more textured sounds, and came back with poor returns. Many slammed them and blamed it on the curse of the sophomore album. It was a surprise that their second album was on torrent sites months before the actual release.

This time round, they came to fight. With Intimacy slated to release in late 2008, they intentionally stunned the world with 3 days notice and started selling digital downloads of their album for 5 pounds in August.
It seemed like they were gonna use all the experience they had.

The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance with Chromeo

Chromeo has gone nuts and decided to make everyone wanna lick them.

They remixed a track of Vampire Weekend’s self titled album.

Most of you know the track by heart by now i believe, but this remix is not meant to be played at clubs to get the fists pumping.

We’ve come to expect nothing less than first class from these boys.

Department Of Eagles

Department Of Eagles are a band you have to know about.
I can tell you all about their history, while Daniel went on to join Grizzly Bear but decided that he and Fred should continue making albums too.

But lets get straight to the point, In Ear Park was released a few months ago but i heard their hit single since early last year. It was just one track, but i could never forget it.

“No One Does It Like You” was constantly looping in my head. The melody was gently warped, diffusing elgaic moods. So messy, yet so beautiful.
