The Big Music Post
I've been listening to quite a few bands lately and I figured I should spread the work on what is worth purchasing or downloading.
Where do we start?
The Kaiser Chiefs have a new album out in England that is pretty darn good. There isn't an "I Predict a Riot" in the new batch, but worth getting regardless.
Have you heard of the Fratellis? Maybe not, but they do have a song playing on an ITunes commercial right now. They rock.
The View is worth checking out if you dig The Libertines or the Arctic Monkeys.
CSS(Cansei de ser sexy) is pretty much the coolest dance rock band out there right now. They are from Brasil and sound like a combination of Brazilian Girls, Blondie, LCD Soundsystem, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Of Montreal's new album reminds me of Beck's Midnight Vultures record minus the soul, but plus some new wave and post punk.
Do any of you remember the soundtrack to the Friday Night Lights movie? Explosions in the Sky create all of the instrumental tracks. Their new album is very similar. Kind of like an indie Sigor Ros (or is Sigor Ros indie already?) Dont' know.
You all know I dig Arcade Fire. 'Nuff said.
The Good, The Bad, and the Queen is brit pop super group with Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz), Paul Simonon (The Clash), Tony Allen (Africa 70/Fela Kuti) and Simon Tong (The Verve). The album is very diverse and defies easy description. It's got a bit of The Smiths and The Cure along with Oasis and Blur pop mixed with the Super Furry Animals. Just listen to it.
I am sure many of you have the Cold War Kids record. Simple arrangements similar to Spoon with a bit more blues and jazz mixed in. The lyrics are darker too.
That's all for now. Lots of new tunes to dig on.
