Between the Trees - Spain

In In between all the commercialism and capitalism in Orlando, Florida, artistic expression does exist. Although this is there second album, it is a gradual progression for a band (and allot less emo too). If you are looking for something new and original then keep looking cause you wont find that here. But, its so hard to find originality these days so I accept it for what it is. Its simplicity, its melodys/lyrics , and catchy choruses. The leading single "We can try" is what I call a harmony tribute. Its beautiful harmonies matched with beautiful lyrics makes this a winner in my book.

Vampire Weekend - Horchata

The countdown to new Vampire Weekend is finally over! Well the new album won't be released until January 10, but in the mean time they are giving away the new single FREE!! Its a completely guitar-free, xylophone friendly, new sound for them. You can download it here. I expect that with this new sound will come a whole new audience. I guess we'll see!

The Bravery - Slow Poison

The Bravery are back! Although the new album "Stir the Blood" does not come out until November 10 they release this ditty to hold us over. This new album was produced by John Hill (M.I.A., Santigold) so expect allot more electronic sounds (Yes please).

Hockey - Too Fake

So I'm tardy for the party, who cares. Although I had heard this one a while back, it finally hit me how awesome this song is. Its a a new foot tapping sound that is heavy on the bass/electro. I would describe it as an indie dance-rock tune, which means it should have a broader audience . Although it did come out awhile ago and I haven't heard it out yet, it may be a grower not a shower. Regardless its a great song to have in your collection.

The Airborne Toxic Event - Wishing Well

This southern California band aka T.A.T.E. finally release something better? Although the album came out last year, it really has not gotten much attention and deemed "generic" and "derivative" by the masses. Even after a performance at SXSW, several late night tv performances, and a city tour they haven't gotten the respect that they are entitled too. Wishing well is one of the albums brighter moments although you might have to lower your expectations just a little. I will say that the lead singer and the lyrics are great, they just have to work on having a somewhat original sound.

The Do's (pronounced DOH's)

I'm not gonna say much about this French band and let the music speak for itself. I will say that they are the first band to hit #1 in France with an album that's in English. You can stream the entire album here. You can also go here, and download the song "Coda" for free. I will also say that they are scheduled to perform during this year's CMJ festival in NYC. If anyone out there in music land gets me in, I'll love you forever. Well for not saying much I did say plenty huh? Enjoy!

Editors - In This Light and On This Evening

The Editors are back and boy have I missed them. They always come out with these songs that are so full of adrenaline it makes me want to bust out my jogging pants. The first single "Papillon" is no different. Supposedly they were going for a different direction on this album, pursuing a new "raw" sound. Having been a huge fan of the first two albums I am interested in hearing what this new sound is. I know its gonna be a bit darker but who doesn't love darker? All I know is that when the tour comes to the states I am not missing them like i did last year.
