If I'm not keeping up to date as I should this week, it's because my entire sleep schedule is flipped upside down. This morning show routine is for the birds, literally. I wanted to quickly do a write up on a few cool artists I've been listening to lately.
First up, Band Of Horses. Signed to Sub-Pop, and very laid back stuff, although some of the rockier numbers on their debut CD remind me of Crazy Horse era Neil Young. That's supposed to be a good thing by the way. Think My Morning Jacket meets The Shins. Damn fine material.
Secondly, Grizzley Bear. This 4 piece from Brooklyn New York made their latest CD on a 4 track in their bedroom, and sounds pretty much like that too. Maybe it's the GBV in me, but I totally love the lo-fi approach. It's what I do at home too, so when someone actually gets positive attention from the DIY approach, it makes me smile. This CD is awesome. Can't wait to see them next week at the Drake Hotel.
Finally, Neko Case just released "Fox Confessor Brings The Flood." I love the New Pornographers, and I love Neko Case too. This album is sad but happy. It's loud, but quiet. It's a cross between the earlier days of the NP only now she shines with her Patsy Cline-esque sombre tones, only to be backed by The Sadies. I love it. You might not.
