Long Time Coming...

I've been slacking on the blog posts, so here's a bunch of songs worth a listen (or ten, or more)... to catch us up.

Lord Huron - La Belle Fleur Savage
Off their new release, "Strange Trails."  Best listened to outdoors, by the campfire.

Jessica Pratt - Game That I Play 
Such a unique voice. She recorded this album in her bedroom, and it shows.  Super intimate & personal.  She's playing at Great Scott in Allston in a few weeks, and I'll be sure not to miss it.


Mac DeMarco - Let Her Go
His album "Salad Days" is one I haven't been able to stop listening to for months.  Clean guitars, and a very relaxed vibe.


The Staves - In The Long Run
Three sisters from England who play folk songs in ridiculously perfect harmony.

Hot Chip - Huarache Lights
Guaranteed to put you in a good mood.  Psyched to see them tomorrow night at the House of Blues.

Courtney Barnett - Depreston
One of my favorite songwriters of the past couple years.  She can wittily string together seemingly unrelated, mundane aspects of life into fascintating songs that hit on emotional themes too.  Not to mention the intoxicating guitar distortion...

Father John Misty - Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins)
He (and his whole new album, "I Love You, Honeybear") really deserve their own post.  Great, great stuff.  He's the former drummer of Fleet Foxes, and you can hear that influence on this track.
