Some new music I've been listening to
For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver
I like my accoustic singer songwriters, and Bon Iver is great.
I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too by Martha Wainwright
Great second album from Martha, not as melancolic either.
We Started Nothing. by The Ting Tings
Some tracks on this stand out by being completely different and surprising compaired to the rest. A good listen though.
Narrow Stairs by Death Cab For Cutie
Not a very interesting band from what I can tell, but I like this album. Probably one of the best band names around too.
Third by Portishead
Awsome album! took a long time to get here, but they have another masterpiece on their hands. Apparently a fourth album isn't too far off either. Happy days!!!
Loud Louder Stop by Neil Cowley Trio
Worth is for the opening track alone. Fantastic modern piano based jazz.
Red by Guillemots
Some have slated it, but i rather like it. I loved their last stuff, and although this isn't nearly as experimental, there are some great tracks on it.
The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow
It's Elbow. They are gods.
Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
They might be scary Australians, but this is a bloody good album. A second Grinderman album is also on its way which should also be interesting.
Made In The Dark by Hot Chip
I didn't like it very much when i first got it, but i made the mistake of listening to it in the car with someone else, so it wasn't up nearly loud enough. Very complex sounds and loads of noises and samples. Needs to be played loud to get the best from it.
Just finished ripping a bunch more to add to my library. Looking forward to listening to the Twighlight Sad, Radiohead, John Martyn, Infadels and Arab Strap amongst others :)
