Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther:
Kinda standard acoustic indie rock. I guess they could be compared to Travis in musical approach and harmonies. The jury is out on this one.
update: I've come to really like this record, quite subtle in it's textures. give it about 3 listens all the way thru.
She & Him - Volume One:
Yes it's M. Ward and Zooey Deschannel making suite music together. It sounds like early 60s girl pop. Zooey definitely ups the ante for the forthcoming Scarlet Johansen record. It's actually quite catchy.
Plants and Animals - Parc Avenue:
A highly diverse collection of sweeping semi-orchestral pop-rock without the typical cringe factors, some swell steel guitar, a funk jam, and other elements that were all the rage in the early 70s.
Bang On A Can All-Stars - Music For Airports:
Brian Eno composed it, so it's like the soundtrack to airplanes on a tarmac. In the quiet, contemplative sense.
Calexico - Ocean Of Noise:
The B-side of Arcade Fire's "Intervention" single, with Calexico's take on "Ocean of Noise." Worth your time.
what one of us may be listening to at any given point.
